Make a list of five multinational banks. Give brief summary of these
banks, specifying their area of operectious

The answer very much depends on what exactly you mean by multinational
banks, i.e. do you mean investment banks or retail banks. However, the
major players are:

1. HSBC - covers all major areas corporate and retail. It's 2nd
biggest banking group in the world. They are not as such considered to
be an investment bank.

2. Citibank - part of Citi Group. They have both retail and wholesale presence.

3. Deutsche Bank - retail presence in Germany and investment banking
at international level.

4. ABN AMRO - retail presence in Netherlands. Investment banking at
international level.

5. Meryll Lynch - American investment bank.
