Over the last decade, more financial services choices and a competitive environment have created a war for deposits.
/

Boston, January 28, 2021 –Financial services provided by banks, investment firms, and fintech counterparts are overlapping due to the combined forces of regulatory, technological, and economic changes in today’s market. Increasingly, consumers are looking to their financial services providers to help them with all aspects of their financial lives, and they have the power and tools at their fingertips (or better yet, in their pockets) to consider banking and investment alternatives. Understanding the winners and losers in this war for deposits is critical to any financial institution seeking to shore up its long-term business strategy.
