Five Forces Analysis

The degree of rivalry in the UK retail lending market is strong, with a large number of building societies, banks, credit companies and other lenders competing intensely for market share. The emergence of the financial technology market has birthed a number of digital lenders who are disrupting the market and creating new opportunities for product differentiation, which is increasing competition. The recent COVID-19 outbreak is expected to increase rivalry by having a negative impact on the UK economy and household incomes, affecting people’s ability to apply for mortgages and repay loans.

Competitive Landscape

The UK retail lending market is populated by a number of large multination financial service providers engaged in personal and commercial banking. The largest retail banking providers in the UK include RBS Santander, Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group. These banks provide the most mortgage and consumer loans in the country with their scale, customer acquisition and market capitalization giving each of them a significant advantage in the market. In recent years technology has enabled the digitalization of financial services. The UK is one of the leading producers of FinTechs as the financial industry continues to transition towards digital services. Retail lending has been less influenced by the digital world. However, in recent years and increasing number of digital banks are investing in mobile mortgage and personal loan products which hope to contend with traditional lenders by price and customer experience. In response, the UK’s leading banks have invested heavily into the digitalization of their own services and have been successful in transferring customers to its online platforms.
