Executive Summary

The Coalition Index for U.S. Commercial Banking – FY21, covers  critical performance metrics, including comparisons for pool concentrations, revenues across products, and aggregate deposits and loan volumes for the largest U.S. banks throughout 2021.

  • FY21 revenues for the Commercial Banking Index banks increased with record growth in Investment Banking, and an increase in Trade Finance.
  • Cash Management revenues continued to decline in FY21 with higher deposit growth offset by lower spreads.
  • Trade Finance revenues picked up in FY21 due to a recovery in trade activities, higher commodity prices and better Supply Chain Finance.
  • Robust M&A, ECM, and DCM activity led to strong investment banking revenues in FY21. M&A deal completion activities skyrocketed due to strong pipelines in 2H21.
  • The top four banks recorded proportionally more declines in loan volumes which resulted in the transition of market share to smaller banks from FY20 onwards.
