U.S. mid-sized banks' profits would remain under pressure for most of 2024, Wall Street analysts said, as higher deposit costs and muted loan growth drag their earnings. Regions Financial, Huntington Bancshares and Fifth Third Bancorp joined peers in reporting smaller first-quarter profits on Friday, due to a steep fall in their interest income.

AmEx takes a small percentage of each transaction spent on their cards as a fee from merchants, which was its primary business model for decades.
