- Consumer & Community Banking (CCB): Continued growth with new branches (166 opened in 2023, similar planned for 2024), marketing opportunities, and wealth strategy focus; 2 million net new checking accounts in 2023, 8% growth in active card accounts, and 180 bps deposit market share increase over three years. - Asset & Wealth Management (AWM): Growth driven by ongoing client advisor hiring and support for new clients; improved revenue outlook contributing to volume/revenue growth. - Commercial Banking: Growth supported by new client acquisition and volume/revenue increases; loan balances remain cautious with lower revolver utilization. - Corporate & Investment Bank (CIB): Lower percentage growth expected due to strong existing market share and prior payment business investments; growth aligned with inflation and improved net interest revenue (NIR). - Technology: Continuous investment firmwide in modernization, customer platforms, and features, including disciplined AI adoption for high-impact use cases aimed at tangible outcomes.
