2020 saw a year of uncertainty and financial hardship for many households across the globe. It looks to be that the worst fears were avoided and banks are seeing a modest recovery. Low interest rates remain and overhang for the banking sector however. According to experts, the balance sheets and liquidity of financial companies are generally strong and 2021 should see better results.<\/p>\n

The coronavirus also accelerated already established trends of moving away from physical cash to contactless and online payment methods. This trend is expected to continue to gain steam into 2021.<\/p>\n
