Commercial banks are guaranteed by the state not to fail because they take deposits from the customers. Investment banks have nothing to do with the individual customer. They don't take or lend deposit. they deal a lot in securities activities which is very risky business. You could win or lose a lot. Most or all commercial banks now have an investment banking arm or department which risks or endangers the deposits of customers if their deals go sour.
