Where value can be captured

The banking value chain starts with funding - deposits, wholesale borrowing, and equity capital - then moves through underwriting, servicing, payments, custody, and capital-markets functions. Value is captured through spreads, fees, risk selection, distribution, and scale.

For Fifth Third Bancorp, the production version should identify named suppliers, channels, customers, and infrastructure dependencies only when a reliable source establishes the relationship. The goal is to show where the company sits, what it depends on, and where bargaining power resides.
