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 M&T Bank, 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.
