Jerusalem, 25 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Bank of Israel’s Banking Supervision Department today submitted its periodic report on the prices of common banking services for households to the Knesset’s Economics Committee. The report is based on data from banks and credit card companies on fees charged during the first half of 2025.
The following are the main points of the report:
During the period covered by the report, the war continued, due to which the Bank of Israel formulated programs to assist the public. These events had no further observable effects on the data in the report relative to the previous report.
During the reviewed period, there was a slight increase in the overall ratio between total fee income and total assets from 0.69% to 0.71%. The increase was mainly due to higher fee revenue from large businesses and an increase in revenue from securities activity by individuals and small businesses.
During the reviewed period, total revenue from fees collected from households and small businesses totaled 3.1 billion Shekels ($980,000). Most of the banks’ income from fees can from securities, current account, and payment card fees.
