financial services
Retail or customer service spaces offering any sort of financial services to customers or members.
Financial service branches or shops are retail spaces or similar establishments where customers or members can purchase or manage services related to financial affairs, including banking, money transactions, insurance, and other similar types of services.
The defining space serves customers or members in their financial affairs. An institution's internal administrative office does not become a retail financial-service location merely because the institution handles money.
Bank branches offer account and transaction services, while loan offices specialize in lending without other banking services. Insurance branches also belong to this service group.
