It can help frame deposits, household banking, commercial lending, treasury relationships and delivery channels as analytical units with clearly defined markets. The familiar Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks and Dogs categories are decision lenses, not claimed placements for the bank’s services.

Technological factors bring cybersecurity, payment systems and digital access into view.
