They provide loans for consumers and investors.

The primary way banks most help grow the economy is by providing loans for consumers and investors. This stimulates economic activity by enabling individuals and businesses to borrow money to make purchases, start or expand businesses, invest in new ventures, and ultimately contribute to economic growth. Offering both checking and savings accounts is a common service provided by banks, but it is not directly related to their role in growing the economy. The fact that banks are difficult to steal from and backed by the federal government may offer security to customers but does not directly contribute to economic growth.
