A bank run is when people pull their money out the banks. If you want to put your money in the stock market you need to pull it out of the bank.
- mustafa_pasi 5y agoThe banks themselves act as the brokers in most cases. Sometimes the banks themselves get the money because a lot of people put their money in structured investments managed by the bank itself. They aren't pulling the money out of the bank and using a third party broker.
- ping_pong 5y agoThis isn't how it works. When customers pull their deposits out of their bank accounts, the bank can't turn that into loans, which is what drives a lot of the income. If the customers shift that money from the bank account into a trading account in a brokerage, they can't do the same thing with those funds that they do if it were in a savings account.
