Banks don't take on risk. Seriously.

That's another conversation to have, but the simple answer is do you want the value of your checking account impacted by someone else's purchase of Gamestop, or Enron?

And that's why banks don't take risk.

Banks loan money, and every loan includes some risk. If banks didn’t take on risk than the 2007/2008 bailouts wouldn’t have happened.

I should have clarified - banks don't take on market risk.
