Rivalry concerns competing providers seeking similar retail, business and corporate relationships. Buyer power considers customers' ability to compare, switch or negotiate across financial providers. Supplier power can include dependence on specialised technology, distribution, professional expertise or external service providers. Substitutes extend beyond direct banks to alternative ways customers can pay, borrow, invest or manage money.

Price is not simply a headline amount: analysis can consider fees, rates, value communication, eligibility and the transparency customers need to make informed choices.

Social factors include changing preferences for accessibility, trust and financial guidance. Technology covers secure digital experiences, data capabilities and ecosystem connections.

Strengths and weaknesses concern capabilities, resources, processes, service delivery and organisational constraints that should be tested with evidence. Opportunities and threats arise outside the organisation, such as evolving customer demand, technology shifts, competitive alternatives or external regulatory and economic conditions. This distinction matters in banking because an attractive market opportunity is not automatically a strength, and an external threat is not necessarily a current internal weakness.
