What is the conventional bank?

A conventional bank is a financial institution that offers a wide range of banking services, including savings and checking accounts, loans, and mortgages, primarily operated under a profit-driven model. These banks generate revenue through interest on loans and fees for services, adhering to traditional banking regulations. They typically rely on interest rate spreads, where the interest earned from loans exceeds the interest paid on deposits. Conventional banks do not engage in Islamic banking principles, which prohibit earning interest.
