Fee Revenue Strategy
We would be well-served to understand revenue growth
from both FI and non-bank perspectives.
Revenue Strategy
1.
Action Plan
Target fees according to
consumer willingness to pay for
what they value.
1.
Grow overdraft revenue
through improved service and
segmentation.
2.
Grow usage revenue by
enhancing transaction context
and experience.
2.
Use similar tools to penetrate
the market of similar size for
payment liquidity services.
3.
Make account acquisition
revenue as important as current
account revenue.
3.
Add revenue with debit use, and
premium services providing
contextual value.
Fee Revenue Strategy
The key revenue sources, for financial institutions and non
banks, are overdraft and “payment liquidity” service fees
rather than monthly account fees.

Fee Revenue Strategy
Consumer response is well-documented and has been
unequivocal in shifting away from maintenance fee-based banks.
“The negative reaction to fees reflects customers’ irritation about paying for something they
didn’t have to pay for in the past,” said Michael Beird, director of banking services at J.D. Power
and Associates.
Deposit Growth
“Fees are a front-of-mind issue for consumers,”
Bankrate.com senior financial analyst Greg McBride said a March survey indicated 64
percent of Americans would consider switching institutions if checking account fees
increased. Among more affluent people, the figure was even higher.

Consumers wanting more assured methods of covering
shortfalls find paying biller late fees more attractive.

Fee Revenue Strategy
Nearly 30% of households pay bills late, and half of
those pay 10+ bills late a year.
In the past 12 months, did you pay a bill after
the due date or miss a payment?
Fee Revenue Strategy
FIs need to segment and understand the needs of checking
account holders for liquidity services, and deliver a superior
alternative to payday lending.

NSF

871 Million NSFs
(25% of Accts) x
$31 = $27B
1.4 Billion late
payments (28% of
HHs) x $16 = $22B
186 Million payday
loans (13% of HHs)
x $37 = $7B
Average overdraft is $60 and
average 12 items a year ($720) @
$31/item = $372 ($52 per $100)
Average bill is $95 and average
10 items a year ($950) @
$16/item = $160 ($16 per $100)
Average cost of a payday loan
of $250 x 8 per year ($2,000)
@ $37 = $296 ($15 per $100)
Fee Revenue Strategy
Non-bank “payments” competitors like PayPal’s Billfloat
are segmenting the largest industry revenue source with
deposit risk management.
Fee Revenue Strategy
Financial institutions must shift from providing
one service delivered in one way at one price.
We need to move from one
standard product at one price…
…to multiple products, sizes and
prices.
Fee Revenue Strategy
CFPB and Regulatory Summary
Regulatory interests can be defined:
• CFPB – Emerging for large FIs (payment order,
misleading or unfair practices, mistreating low income
or young)
• “Appropriate action should be taken to address any
risks that are identified including excessive usage,
disproportionate impact and nonperformance, such as
… adjusting credit terms, fees or limits….”
• Set overdraft limits appropriately and justifiably.
• Document information for regulators showing who the
heavy users of overdraft services are and their
preferences.

Users of overdraft and liquidity services have
different needs and service desires.

With improved limit and service management, tiered NSF in

Fees Consumers Willingly Pay:
Overdraft and Liquidity Services
Why is it that we will provide a $700 overdraft limit to a
customer where we would not provide a $700 line of credit?
– Overdraft services are underwritten based on deposit
activity and right of offset.
– Low APR lines of credit have not been profitable.
How could this combination be re-priced?
Fees Consumers Willingly Pay:

Some FIs are providing small dollar loans with low
APRs and maintenance fee pricing via automated
websites.
Used deposit scoring
to underwrite small
loans.

Usage and Premium Services
The most significant opportunity in the near term
is to improve and “own” the relationships we
already have.
Fees Consumers Willingly Pay:
Usage and Premium Services
The key to revenue growth is to have actively-engaged
transaction accounts. The debit card is the single best
indicator of engaged transaction accounts.
Fees Consumers Willingly Pay:
Usage and Premium Services
Your highest return opportunity is “onboarding” existing
accounts so you are their primary financial institution
which increases revenue and relationships per account.
Nearly half of your accounts are non debit
swipers or light users and swiping elsewhere…
…and getting them to swipe
with you drives revenue.
Increasing swipes among non
and light card holders adds
$56/yr per responding
account.

For example, you can easily ride the growth in prepaid
by simply re-configuring a checking account.
80% of Prepaid Card Users Have
a Checking Account
Over a checking account configured
like a GPR Prepaid Card:
• Prepaid Check Card
• $5.95 a month
• No overdraft fees ever
