This interest income constitutes one of the most important aspects of the bank's profits.

Secondly, fee income is also one of the important aspects of the bank's profits. Banks provide customers with a variety of financial services, such as transfer and remittance, wealth management products, credit card services, etc., and charge a certain amount of fees as profits. With the continuous development of banking business, the proportion of fee income in bank profits has gradually increased.

In addition, banks can also make profits through asset disposal and capital operation. For example, banks can obtain income through assets such as loans and loans; At the same time, banks can also raise funds through capital operations, such as issuing **, bonds, etc., and use these funds to invest and obtain income.

The rise of new financial formats such as the Internet and mobile payment has gradually shifted the banking business to online, bringing new profit growth points. At the same time, the use of financial technology also enables banks to better serve customers, improve customer stickiness and satisfaction, and thus increase bank profits**.

To sum up, interest income, fee income, asset disposal and capital operation, as well as new businesses brought about by financial technology, are the main profits of banks. However, with the constant changes in financial markets and the adjustment of regulatory policies, banks need to constantly innovate and adjust their business models to adapt to market changes and maintain stable profitability.

In order to achieve this goal, banks need to focus on the following areas:

The third is to strengthen risk management and ensure asset quality. Banks should establish a sound risk management system, strengthen the management and control of credit risk, market risk and operational risk, and ensure the safety and reliability of asset quality.

Fourth, deepen financial inclusion and serve the real economy.
