Report Coverage

This report covers the banking industry in South Africa including the major commercial banks, development banks, central bank, digital banks, microfinancing and stokvels. It includes comprehensive information on the size and state of the sector, industry statistics and performance indicators, rankings, corporate actions and other developments. There are profiles of 81 companies including the major banks such as FirstRand (FNB), ABSA, Standard, Nedbank, Capitec and Investec, development banks such as the Land Bank and relatively new players such as TymeBank and Bank Zero.

The Banking Industry in South Africa

South Africa’s banking sector is well capitalised and its capital adequacy and liquidity ratios have remained well above minimum statutory requirements. Total banking sector assets increased in the year to end-March 2022, with increases reported in gross loans and advances, investment and trading securities and short-term negotiable securities. Profitability improved significantly. However, the operating environment remains highly volatile and the banking sector is facing elevated domestic and global risks, including the possibility of being placed on an international grey list over South Africa’s failure to implement adequate measures to prevent illicit money flows.

Trends

Mobile and digital banking are key drivers of financial inclusion in South Africa. Despite the uptake of digital banking, cash transactions are prevalent, and banking activity continues to be dominated by cash withdrawals, which are often made at supermarket till points. Many banks are consolidating and closing underserved branches and ATMs. Demand for credit is rising, and rising inflation and interest rates are placing consumers under growing pressure and increasing the risk of bad debt. Cybercrime poses a growing threat to banking service providers and their customers, and money-laundering is on the increase.

Financial Inclusion

South Africa’s formally financially included is high at over 90% and various banks offer products for low-income earners. Co-operative financial institutions and microfinance institutions play a fundamental role in financial inclusion. Stakeholders say that migration to formal savings platforms has accelerated since 2020.

Report Coverage

This report focuses on the banking industry in South Africa including stokvels. It includes comprehensive information on commercial and central banking, stokvels and other credit granting and lease financing organisations. The report provides information on the state and size of the sector, assets, loans and advances, regulation and corporate actions. There are profiles of 90 companies including the major banking groups such as FirstRand (FNB), Absa, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec, credit-granting institutions including retailers, international banks operating in South Africa stokvels and home loan companies.

The Banking Industry in South Africa including Stokvels

The South African banking industry is regarded as one of the best banking systems in the world and major local banks are highly rated. The industry’s image was tarnished by a corruption scandal which resulted in the collapse of VBS Mutual Bank. South African banks have played a critical role in the coronavirus pandemic response, providing significant financial relief to financially distressed individuals and businesses. While local banks are well capitalised, analysts say that their creditworthiness could be threatened by South Africa’s crippling burden of debt.

Competition

South Africa’s retail banking sector is dominated by five JSE-listed banking groups, but with the entry of new banks to the market, the banking landscape is becoming less consolidated and increasingly competitive. Competition has driven down bank charges, particularly on entry-level accounts. Banks are increasingly investing in digital banking and focusing on product customisation to retain and attract customers. New players do not have the geographical footprint of established banks, but their digital platforms allow them to meet consumers’ demand for affordable bank services that are faster and more convenient than traditional banking.

Coronavirus

The banking industry has been severely affected by the pandemic. Sustained pressure on consumers and businesses due to lockdowns and the expiry of temporary credit relief measures have resulted in a significant increase in non-performing loans. Banks nevertheless remained resilient with capital adequacy ratios well above the statutory requirement. Banks played a role in the pandemic response by providing relief to financially-distressed customers during lockdown.

Report Coverage

The focus of this report is the South African banking industry and includes information on other credit granting, lease financing, vehicle financing, and loyalty and reward programmes. It includes comprehensive information on the state and size of the sector including the central bank, commercial banks and new banks, regulatory developments and corporate actions. There are profiles of 92 companies. These include the major commercial banks as well as institutions such as the former South African Bank of Athens, now trading as Grobank after the acquisition by GroCapital and African Bank, which has been under Reserve Bank control after it was nearly liquidated in 2014. Profiles also include companies offering financial services such as Woolworths, Vodacom and MTN.

The Banking Sector

There were 42 banking institutions, excluding registered foreign bank representatives, registered with the Prudential Authority in May 2019, an increase from 36 institutions a year earlier. There are 30 foreign banks with approved representative offices in South Africa. Total assets of all types of registered banks stood at R5.74-trillion in May, a year-on-year increase of 11.1%. South Africa’s banking sector is still highly concentrated with the five largest banks holding over 90% of total assets in February 2019. Capitec Bank’s customer base and market capitalisation continue to grow ahead of its large competitors.

Increasing Competition

Banks are not only facing increasing pressure from Capitec as technology-based banks are entering the sector. Commercial banks are facing increasing competition from fintech companies that are taking over traditional activities like payments, lending, deposits, asset management, and even advisory services. Absa, FNB, Nedbank and Standard Bank are closing down or downsizing branches to control rising operating costs and in response to customers’ increasing use of online and mobile banking services. New digital banks including Discovery Bank, Bank Zero and TymeBank and mobile money apps and services provided by telecoms and retail companies will be forcing commercial banks to intensify efforts to continue modernising technology platforms.

Report Coverage

As well as focusing on developments in the commercial banking sector, the detailed Banking Industry report includes information on Other Credit Granting, Lease Financing, and Loyalty and Reward Programmes. The report includes details on 90 organisations, fintech, digital banking, cryptocurrencies and other new technologies influencing the sector, as well as recent corporate actions and developments such as the demise of VBS Bank and the Competition Commission’s ongoing investigation into 17 banks relating to price fixing and market allocation in the trading of foreign currency. It includes details on the restructuring of overseas shareholdings in local commercial banks, resulting in the reorganisation of the Old Mutual Group and sell-down by Barclays of its stake in Barclays Africa with implications for two of the big banks, Nedbank and Absa.

The South African Banking Sector

The South African banking sector which has total assets of R5.14-trillion, remains highly concentrated with the five largest banks holding 91% of total assets as of 31 December 2017. While the country’s big banks dominate, the sector is also diversified with 36 South African banking institutions registered with the Reserve Bank and 30 foreign banks with approved representative offices in South Africa. There are over 6,000 credit providers registered with the National Credit Regulator.

Sector Disruption and Competition

The banking landscape is changing rapidly as banks face increasing competition from technology-based financial services - from newly established banks to retailers offering mobile transactional banking accounts. Competition coming from newly-licensed commercial banks and growing credit granting from other credit providers is likely to encourage the big four banks to place increasing emphasis on growing customer numbers with innovative product offerings, especially to attract lower-income earners. Competition from newly established Discovery Bank, Bank Zero and TymeDigital, which aim to disrupt the sector, may force big banks to intensify efforts to modernise technology platforms to satisfy customers’ demands.

Challenges

While the resignation of Jacob Zuma as president and his succession by Cyril Ramaphosa resulted in the hope for political and economic stability and policy certainty, the issue of land expropriation without compensation has resulted in some pressure on the banking sector. In addition to agricultural land bonds, banks also provide extensive loans to the agricultural sector hedged against crop yields and other assets. Bank exposure to struggling state-owned entities and troubled companies like Steinhoff International have also weighed heavily on the sector, which has nevertheless retained its ability to cope with challenging economic conditions.

Report Coverage

As well as focusing on developments in the commercial banking sector, the detailed Banking Industry report includes information on Other Credit Granting, Lease Financing, and Loyalty and Reward Programmes. Profiles for 91 companies active in the sector are provided. Included is VBS Mutual Bank, originally known as the Venda Building Society, which gave President Jacob Zuma a loan in 2016 to finance the R7.8m he was forced to pay back by the Constitutional Court for non-security upgrades to his home in Nkandla. Since this time VBS has clinched a deal to be the official banker of the Twelve Apostle Church in Christ (TACC), which claims to have 6.8 million members. Also profiled is Capitec, which as at December 2016 had the second-largest market share in the unsecured credit market book and showed the biggest growth in customer numbers year-on-year with an increase of 1 million customers.

The South African Banking Sector

The South African banking sector which has total assets of R4,890bn is under the spotlight for collusion by three of the major banks on fixing foreign currency. Other important developments in the sector include the closing of the accounts of the Gupta family, regarded as politically connected to President Jacob Zuma, which led to the scrutiny of black ownership in the financial sector, and the major banks defending their lending practices and records in addressing racial inequality. The firing of Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas and the controversial cabinet reshuffle at the end of March 2017 has been described by the Banking Association as a matter of “extreme concern for the whole of South Africa.” A direct result has been a downgrade to junk status of the country’s foreign currency debt by global ratings agency S&P and the Rand immediately plummeting more than 4% after it had strengthened more than 20% in the course of a year.

Report Coverage

The detailed report on the competitive banking sector describes the current market, the latest regulatory and corporate developments and discusses factors influencing the success of the sector. The report profiles 95 companies, including the “Big Four” banks, FirstRand, Standard Bank, Barclays Africa (Absa) and Nedbank, as well as major players in all sub-sectors of the Banking Industry.

South Africa’s Banking Sector

This report focuses on the South African banking industry and includes other credit granting, lease financing, and loyalty and reward programmes. The finance, real estate and business services industry contributed 18.6% to GDP in 2015 and with total banking sector assets of R4,855bn in January 2016, the banking sector plays a vital role in the country’s economy. It distributes resources and capital across all economic sectors, which in turn allows these sectors to contribute to the performance of the economy.

A Well Developed Sector

According to Banking Association South Africa, the country has a well developed and proactively regulated banking system which is equal to or greater than those of industrialised countries. As a result, the sector has attracted international interest, with numerous foreign banks establishing offices in South Africa and international banking organisations acquiring shares in major local banks. There are currently six foreign controlled banks, 39 foreign bank representatives and 15 branches of foreign banks registered with the South African Reserve Bank.

Challenging Conditions

Despite the resilience of the sector, it is facing numerous problems emanating from the real economy, mainly from rising unemployment, ongoing labour disputes and comparatively increased levels of inflation. In addition, running costs are increasing, often as a result of the implementation of measures to ensure compliance with regulations. Other factors that are putting pressure on margins are rising interest rates and the increasing number of households that are defaulting on the repayment of loans.
