JLL’s new 2017 U.S. Banking Outlook offers insight on current and forthcoming industry trends, like:

• Branch location reductions. The number of branches will decrease as banks optimize their market needs.
• Expansion of fintech. Mobile apps will further impact how customers use their local branches—or not.
• Shrinking branch sizes. Banks will save billions on their real estate spend as they reposition assets to meet changing customer demand.
• Branch personalization. A retooled approach will be tailored towards local market needs and demographics.
• Additional automation. Expect to see a greater use of centralized tellers to handle basic transactions.
