Bank fee income from households and small businesses rose to 5.7 billion shekels in 2025, a 300 million shekel increase from 2024, according to Bank of Israel data reported by N12's Lior Bakalo. The growth was driven mainly by securities fees on increased public trading activity.
The Bank of Israel's annual data on banking fees shows that households and small businesses paid 5.7 billion shekels in fees in 2025, up 300 million shekels from 2024, the central bank reported. Lior Bakalo, N12's economic correspondent, reported the figures Tuesday. The main driver was securities fees, reflecting increased public trading activity in financial markets. The report comes as the Bank of Israel has been advancing fee reforms. In June 2026, the central bank published a new fee model that caps monthly charges for private customers at 10 shekels for the first 100 transactions, set to take effect in July 2027, as The Zioneer previously reported. The new data provides a baseline for assessing the impact of those reforms.
