What is trust business?

Trust business refers to the business that the trust department of a commercial bank accepts the entrustment of customers to operate, manage or handle monetary funds or other property instead of the entrusting unit or individual, and collects handling fees from it.

Trust business is an economic behavior based on credit entrustment and has certain economic purposes. That is, the department (or individual) in charge of funds (or property) entrusts the trust institution to operate or manage on its behalf, and the trust institution abides by the agreed conditions and scope, manages its funds or property and returns it on time. Because trust business is to manage or handle assets on behalf of others, trust institutions must have credibility and sufficient funds. Trust business includes commercial trust, civil trust, public trust and other fields.
