A SWOT analysis of a bank formally evaluates the financial institution’s strengths,


weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This analysis identifies these four main
elements to help upper management better leverage its strengths to take advantage of
future business opportunities while better understanding its operational weaknesses to
combat threats to potential growth. A SWOT analysis can also address many other
scenarios, such as new business initiatives, marketing budgets or even advertising
campaigns.

Strengths

In the area of strengths, a SWOT analysis should list the areas where the bank is
succeeding and excelling in reaching its goals. These successes should also be internal
components reflective of the bank’s physical and human resources. For example, a
bank’s strengths may be high client retention, higher than average checking account
balances, high-yield bond rates, a user-friendly website, product line diversification, low
staff turnover and low overhead.

Weaknesses
The weaknesses in a bank’s SWOT analysis should list the areas where the bank is
falling short of reaching its goals or is non-competitive. These areas of improvement
should also be internal components reflective of the bank’s physical and human
resources. For example, a bank’s weaknesses may be low customer satisfaction, poor
website features, low staff morale, high loan rates, low brand recognition or a minimal
product line.

Opportunities

The opportunities section in a bank’s SWOT analysis should list the areas where the
bank has room for growth or could take advantage of opportunities in the marketplace.
These areas ripe for development should be external components reflective of the
current business environment. For example, a bank’s opportunities may include a
growing economy, new high-yield investment products, banking deregulation, less
competitors in the marketplace or an increase in the average savings rate.

Threats

The threats component in a bank’s SWOT analysis should list the areas where the bank
has the potential to decline or be harmed by other factors in the marketplace. These
factors should also be external components reflective of the current business
environment. For example, a bank’s threats may include a declining economy,
increased capital gains taxes, more competitors in the marketplace, high unemployment
or an increase in insurance rates.
