Answer:
D. lending money
Step-by-step explanation:
It depends on the institution. A "for profit" financial institution has the purpose of <em>making money for its investors</em>. To do that, it offers a variety of money-oriented services, some involving payments to customers (interest) and some involving charging customers for the service (fees or interest).
A service offered in the latter category is "lending money."
__
A "not for profit" financial institution has the purpose of <em>providing financial services to its members</em>. Again, some of these services may involve payments to customers, and others may involve collecting interest or fees from customers. These institutions, too, offer the service of "lending money."
__
Among the services a financial institution may offer that do not involve lending money are ...
- checking accounts
- safe deposit boxes
- notary service
- brokerage service
