Over the next decade, banks may lose up to 60% of profits on some services. This assumption was made by experts of the consulting company
McKinsey . Technology companies are increasingly competing with banks. This leads to lower prices for financial services and profit standards for credit institutions.
Competition with new financial technologies will lead to a drop in bank profits from consumer lending by 60%, and revenues by 40%, estimated at McKinsey.
This includes, for example, card loans and car loans, but mortgage loans are not included.
In such areas as payment processing, SME lending, wealth management, and mortgage lending, profits are expected to decline by 10–35% over the next decade, Vedomosti reports, citing the Financial Times.

“In our opinion, the most significant influence [technologies] will have on profits, because technology companies can provide financial services with minimal costs, and for customers this will result in lower prices,” said McKinsey representative Philip Hurle. Such companies do not want to receive the status of a bank, as this is associated with additional costs.
