Intermediary Institutions

Intermediary institutions are organizations that act as bridges between the government, financial markets, or other large entities and individual consumers or businesses. They facilitate the flow of funds, services, or information, helping to channel resources efficiently. Examples include banks, insurance companies, brokerage firms, or credit unions. These institutions assess risk, provide access to financial products, and help manage transactions, making complex processes more accessible and trustworthy for their clients. Essentially, they serve as connectors and facilitators, ensuring goods, services, or funds move smoothly between large institutions and the end users.
