Retail Banking Country Snapshot: Spain 2016
Summary
"Retail Banking Country Snapshot: Spain 2016" reviews the retail banking sector in Spain, with a particular focus on the current account, savings, mortgage, and personal loans markets. It includes both market-level data and insight from our Retail Banking Insight Survey.
The Spanish banking sector is highly consolidated, with a handful of large banks controlling a significant market share. Product ownership rates are high, particularly for current and savings accounts, and consumers mostly favor providers they have an existing relationship with. Both younger and older age groups use branches often, meaning there is considerable scope for providers to encourage greater use of digital channels. Internet penetration in Spain is low, and providers thus need to maintain a multi-channel approach or focus on specific geographical areas in the country. Domestic and foreign banks have made investments in low-cost distribution channels such as mobile banking.
The report offers insight into

Scope
