What is the difference between a commercial bank and an an Investment and Brokerage firm (SGI) ?

A commercial bank is a financial money market structure whose operation is regulated by the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) with oversight by the Banking Commission (COB) while an SGI is an intermediary in the financial market of the WAEMU whose operation is ruled by the Regional Council for Public Savings and Financial Markets (CREPMF). The CREPMF’s principal purpose is to protect the interests of investors who invest their capital in the WAEMU financial market. Any SGI must be approved by the CREPMF before making any operations in the financial market. CREPMF organizes the functioning of the sub-regional financial market and lays down the regulations that all the actors and players must follow. This is why it is said that IMS are considered as financial institutions but are exempt from the banking regulations under the COB.
