In the age of AI, cash holdings still matter more than apps

A Wall Street Journal Markets analysis argues competition for deposits is intensifying, and technology is reshaping how banks and providers vie for customer cash.

The article says technological change is increasing competition for deposits in ways that go beyond traditional banking features.

It frames the shift as part of a broader contest for customer balances, with AI-era tools and services raising pressure on how deposit gathering and retention are done.
