Hi Lillian~
NBFIs are financial institutions that offer financial services but do not have a banking license, and cannot accept deposits from the public. So they are not not supervised by a national or international banking regulatory agency.
Examples of these include pawn shops, check cashing locations, payday lending, securities/commodities firms and currency exchanges.
Hope this helps!
