- Five-year outlook for the commercial banking market.
- Five-year forecast for UK MFI deposits.
Commercial Banking Market: Current Outlook
In a low-growth, high inflation economic climate, large businesses will continue to obtain the banking service they need on a wholesale basis from the major banks, but smaller forms will source theirs from a wider range of providers – each offering the most suitable services tailored to particular competitive niches.
- Commercial banking market size: Mintel forecasts that the deposits from NFCs fell between October 2022 and October 2023 to £634 billion.
Commercial Banking Market: Challenges and Opportunities
Expand on digital offerings
While banks have digitised workflows, customer satisfaction with self-service tools remains low due to consistent pain points. Consumers are looking for a seamless digital experience which generates opportunities for banks to deliver integrated channels to deliver a faster, more convenient experience and resolve problems more efficiently.
Underserved SME and start-up sectors
Despite high demand for banking and finance from SMEs and start-ups, the development of suitable products and services for these businesses has continued to elude most providers. Mainstream banks need to innovate to help improve their risk management practices and satisfy the more tech-focused and retail banking-like expectations of these customers.

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson
We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon
We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.
Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink
Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus
