Thrift Bank
A bank whose main purpose is to take deposits from consumers and make home mortgages.

A thrift bank does just that - take deposits and lend to consumers; however, a Universal Bank does more than that.
A Universal Bank combines commercial banking with investment banking. The Glass-Steagal Act (1920-something) prohibited the two from operating simultaneously under the same company - they had to be separate. The Modernization Act (1999) allowed different banks to merge and have a number of different banking activities under the same name. This is where holding companies came about (Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, etc). They offer retail banking (deposits), lending, brokerage services, M&A advisory, and underwriting (among others).
Hope this helps.
