The term serves the demarcation of the financial sector, thus the business banks and the central bank.

In particular three reasons for holding money for non-banks can be constituted (see also demand for money):

1. Money attitude for the completion of transactions (transaction cash strictly speaking).
2. Money attitude for safety reasons for the completion of unexpected obligations (caution cash, part of the transaction cash in the broader sense).
3. Money attitude for speculative reasons for the realization of expected security profits on exchange and/or avoidance of expected security course losses (speculation cash).
