Banking is a highly competitive industry – banks compete with each other, with non-banks and other financial institutions as well. The thing is that banking products are easy to duplicate and at the end of the day, all of them provide nearly identical services.

What distinguishes one bank from another are the prices they offer and the quality of their service.
