Overview
Boston, MA – August 2, 2012 – In new research, Banking Profitability Drivers, Mercator Advisory Group reviews how retail financial institutions (FIs) are driven to improve their efficiency, productivity, and overall financial performance, and are poised to make their organizations stronger and more profitable.
“After a half-decade of macroeconomic and microeconomic malaise, the financial performance of banks and other financial institutions (FIs) is largely improving and is poised for further improvements. For many of these FIs, however, customer profitability remains tepid, particularly when compared to pre-financial-crisis levels,” comments Ed O’Brien, director of Mercator Advisory Group’s Banking Channels Advisory Service and author of the report.
Organizations mentioned in this report include: Bank Industry Architecture Network (BIAN), FIS, Fiserv, Harte-Hanks Trillium, IBM, Jack Henry & Associates, JPMorgan Chase, SAP, SAS, U.S. Small Business Administration, and Temenos.
