| As one of the three underpinning businesses of contemporary commercial banks, intermediary business has drawn extensive attention from the global banking system. Since the nineties the twentieth century, China's domestic banks have been becoming more competitive. The profit brought by the traditional business is getting smaller and smaller. In order to expand the profit, most commercial banks try to make the intermediary business as a new developable way. With the development of Chinese financial market, our domestic commercial banks should attach more importance to the intermediary business to enlarge their profit resources. For various reasons, there are many problems in the domestic intermediary business, such as small scope, fewer varieties, the lack of professional personnel, weak scientific and technological strength, poor incentive mechanism and chaotic market competition order.
