All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Australia Retail Banking Market Report Overview
Rising rates in 2022 resulted in many banks’ assets increasing, thereby leading to decreased interest margins. Financial indicators improved more for smaller banks than for the big four (Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ), CommBank, National Australia Bank (NAB), and Westpac). However, the Big Four’s dominance is still very strong across all products (deposits, loans, mortgages, and credit cards), age groups, and affluence bands.
Market shares are the least concentrated among personal loans, making this the most competitive category for smaller banks, particularly given the wide variety of channels through which Australians purchase personal loan products.
The Australia Retail Banking Competitor Benchmarking report looks at market performance, retention risk, and market shares across key products within Australia’s banking space. It also ranks the country’s leading banks across a range of criteria, from digital adoption and user experience to rewards and money management tools.

CommBank maintained its dominant position in 2022, controlling nearly a quarter of the residential deposit, mortgage, and credit card markets.
