Banking Metrics for Delivery Channels

By Jim Bruene on May 17, 2000 10:05 PM | Comments (1)


 Once again, bricks and mortar showed surprising strength with a net gain of 1,432 branches in 1998. With 74,408 total branches, the U.S. has one bank branch for every 1,350 households.  The total number of banks and thrifts entities declined by 462 to 10,461. Interest in new charters continued its upward trend with 222 issued in 1998, 22 more than in 1997, and the highest single-year total since 1988. But, branches share of transaction volume has been falling, from 54% in 1994 to 40% in 1999. The telephone channel has picked up most of this growing its share from 12% to 22%. Online accounted for just 2% of transaction volume in 1999 (Table 3).
