Why customers choose some banks and not others
The outflow of deposits does not necessarily mean that clients have lost trust in a particular bank. The dynamics can be influenced changes in deposit rates, terms of placement of funds, terms of programs and the bank's general strategy for attracting resources.
At the same time, the growth of deposits with leaders shows that banks continue to actively compete for the savings of the population.
Not only the interest rate is important for the client. The choice is also influenced the reliability of the bank, the convenience of the mobile application, the possibility of early withdrawal of funds, the terms of extension and the general availability of banking services.
What is happening with the deposit market
The growth of time deposits shows that the population continues to use banks as the main tool for saving savings.
For banks, such funds are important as stable source of funding, which can be used for liquidity and credit planning.
At the same time, the distribution of funds between banks shows that Ukrainians increasingly value a set of conditions, and not just the maximum rate. Trust in the bank, the convenience of digital services and the flexibility of deposit products remain key factors in the competition for depositors' money.
