THE 3 PILLARS OF BAD BANKING SERVICE
Average contribution margin ratio of 25% + high fixed costs.Banks have to reach a huge scale to be profitable.
2 INSANE MARGINAL COSTS (REGULATORY AND COST OF ACQUISITION)
The bank account itself is a highly negative margin product. Banks have to cross-sell a lot to survive (credit, insurance, savings, …)

model without success.
3 HIGH SENSITIVITY OF MARGINS TO INTEREST RATES (CURRENTLY ALL-TIME LOW)
