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.
disintermediation

The situation that exists when depositors withdraw their savings from financial institutions and invest the money directly in the marketplace,usually because they can obtain a higher yield even though also running a higher risk of losing their money.
