The digital banking race for deposits: a new era of competition In just a few years, digital banks have evolved from niche players to fierce competitors, going head-to-head with traditional banks to attract customer deposits. With rising interest rates pushing digital banks to prioritize deposit growth, this shift marks a critical strategy for long-term sustainability. Take France’s #Boursobank, formerly Boursorama Banque, which saw customer deposits skyrocket from €9 billion in 2022 to €22.5 billion in 2023. Or Openbank, Santander's digital arm, which became Europe’s largest digital bank by deposits, claiming a 9x profit increase and contributing €126 million to Santander’s earnings. With interest rates exceeding 3% in markets like the Netherlands, Germany, and Portugal, Openbank’s deposit offerings have driven a 29% increase in its customer base, adding nearly 600,000 new clients. The UK market has seen similar trends, with Chase UK—launched by JPMorganChase in 2021—reaching over £15 billion in deposits, leveraging its parent bank's reputation for trust and reliability. But traditional-backed digital banks aren’t the only ones thriving. Digital-native banks like Revolut, Monzo Bank, and bunq have also achieved impressive deposit growth. Revolut, for instance, saw deposits grow from £13 billion in 2022 to £18 billion in 2023, fueled by innovative services like cryptocurrency trading and seamless international payments. Monzo and Bunq have capitalized on transparency, sustainability, and customer-driven solutions, winning over users who crave a more personalized banking experience. As purely digital banks and digital arms of legacy institutions compete, customers are reaping the benefits: more choices, innovative products, and an enhanced user experience. Are we moving towards a future where digital-first solutions dominate? Or will traditional banks adapt to hold their ground?
