Disintermediation
Withdrawal of funds from a financial_institution in order to invest them directly.
disintermediation
The withdrawal of funds from financial intermediaries such as banks, thrifts, and life insurance companies in order to invest directly with ultimate users. Disintermediation was more of a problem when financial intermediaries were limited in the returns they could pay to savers. Deregulation of financial intermediaries was intended to dampen the periodic swings toward disintermediation. Compare intermediation.
