A large fraction of banks’ revenue comes from noninterest income, which includes items such as overdraft fees and ATM charges. We investigate whether this source of income has increased since the financial crisis, given that banks’ interest income may have been impacted by the low interest rate environment. We find that total noninterest income has actually decreased. However, service charges, one of the subcomponents of noninterest income, have increased. The increase in service charges is masked in the data on total noninterest income because other types of noninterest income, specifically securitization fees and other types of noninterest income affected by the crisis, fell during the same period.

The industry closely follows global economic performance since demand for loans is heavily influenced by business and consumer confidence, as well as the level of activity that requires financing. The strong global economic performance, fueled by the United States and emerging markets such as China and Southeast Asia, is expected to improve from increased aggregate private investment, which has supported loan origination. However, elevated interest rates during the period limited loan demand, although higher interest rates enabled global commercial banks to generate greater interest income on loans originated. Overall, global commercial banks' revenue has grown at a CAGR of 4.3% to $3,862.4 billion over the past five years, including an expected decrease of 0.5% in 2025 alone. Also, industry profit has grown substantially during the period and will account for 45.8% in the current year. Strong performance in the United States and China for most of the last five years has bolstered economic activity. The growth in interest rates throughout the period has limited loan originations, although businesses have maintained demand for loans to expand and improve operational efficiencies. The high interest rate environment has boosted industry profit, supporting efforts by major players to consolidate operations. The interest rate environment has reversed in the latter part of the period as the Fed and other central banks have slashed rates, which has increased demand for loans such as business loans and mortgages. With rates being cut, industry profit growth is anticipated to slow. Industry revenue is expected to grow as the global economy continues to expand and economic volatility is anticipated to fade. In addition, interest rates are expected to be cut further at the onset of the outlook period if inflation continues to ease. Strong economic performance in emerging markets is anticipated to foment growth of commercial banking activity in various countries and aid faster revenue growth over the next five years. But geopolitical tensions are expected to pose a threat to growth. Global commercial banks' revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 1.7% to $4,202.0 billion over the five years to 2030.

While traditional sources of U.S. bank revenues have struggled during the pandemic, overall bank profitability has soared. This unusual deviation is largely explained by a substantial decline in banks’ loan loss provisions. Extraordinary policy measures undertaken by the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury aided a rebound in financial market conditions and, in turn, reduced projected loan losses. However, this effect is likely to be transitory, suggesting an uncertain future for bank profitability.
