When we think of a bank, a local bank teller probably comes to mind, a person with whom we can carry out savings, checking, and borrowing needs. We are thinking of a retail bank, which offers relatively small scale services to individuals or medium to small businesses.
For large institutions, government departments, local governments, and huge corporations with considerably larger financial needs, wholesale banking basically offers these same services, generally at a much lower base price compared to what is charged in retail transactions.
For a giant corporation that carries out a very high number of financial transactions each day, with large sums of money in many of those transaction, retail banks for would never satisfy its needs properly. Branching out into other product areas is a challenge.
Unlike investment banking clients, which have bigger wallets and more diversified spending, the lower midmarket that makes up the core corporate banking client base tends to buy a narrower range of products, and that can make cross-selling beyond lending and transactions more difficult.
Investment banks face mounting pressures. The past two years show investment banks operating in a multispeed world, with the advantage going to divisions and regions that have deep pockets and greater scale.
See Exhibit 5. From through , investment banks globally saw income generation per RWA decline to a level of to bps as a result of deteriorating loan margins and rising capital requirements.
Commoditization is also hurting banks as trading electronification becomes more pervasive. To close the digital divide and create new sources of differentiation, banks have to modernize. Yet few banks can afford the significant spending required. Bottom-line pressures are equally stubborn. Still, banks in some regions are faring better than others.
Stronger balance sheets and scale have allowed top players in the region to fund their corporate and investment banking divisions, improve their technologies, and enhance their product offerings. For European investment banks, the picture is more complex. Although the average RoRC rose from 7. Many investment banks in Europe are optimizing their current portfolios as best they can using existing resources because they either cannot—or do not want to—drive a more significant technology or product overhaul.
This optimization game is unlikely to be sustainable. Instead, European investment banks may find more success by focusing on select areas rather than trying to compete in an array of asset classes and across the full value chain. In emerging markets, revenue gains were not enough to counter an increase in the cost of provisions. Investment banks saw RoRC fall from Unless banks in these markets rethink their business models, margin compression will eventually make more of these divisions unprofitable.
Although banks recognize they need to modernize, knowing where to invest and which initiatives to prioritize has proved difficult amid shifting customer expectations and the evolving technology landscape. The wrong bets can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities—and create an even steeper hill for banks to climb. Wholesale banking customers are also feeling the effects of a fast-changing marketplace. Effectively managing liquidity and risk requires treasurers and finance teams to look across the banking book; anticipate the impact of rates, currencies, and other variables; and take preemptive action.
That tall order is made all the more challenging by an influx of data, greater market volatility, and a more interconnected business landscape. In light of these challenges, wholesale banking customers are looking for a reliable and experienced partner who is capable of providing personalized advice and convenient service.
Corporate banking customers want simple, straightforward transactions and the option of self-service such as a single login page for all active services and the ability to access information and process requests across multiple devices and touch points. Given the growing set of business and financial risks that they now manage, treasurers are in particular need of help. As corporate clients digitally transform their own businesses, banks face increased pressure to step up their capabilities and provide services such as real-time execution and proactive forecasting.
Few have evolved their service models rapidly enough to take advantage of advanced analytics and other proven tools. Compared with the digital processes and client-centric experiences offered by technology providers and fintechs, many banks still rely heavily on outdated technologies and service models. Rigid infrastructures, for instance, often result in overly complicated onboarding processes that require treasurers to complete multiple—and, in many cases, manual—steps that feel out of sync with other professional onboarding experiences.
Institutions are increasingly exposed to customer shift because they have not acquired and implemented the right technologies or developed high-value use cases. The wholesale banking market is no longer as bank centric as it used to be. New players that emerged over the past decade are now well entrenched in key niches, and their service is raising the bar for incumbents.
As the playing field expands, commercial, corporate, and investment banks are bumping up against a diverse group of well-funded and aggressive challengers. Measure ad performance. Select basic ads.
