Banking-relationship risk is the exposure that builds when a core bank withdraws appetite, closes accounts or pulls back credit, whether through de-risking, a strategic exit from a sector, or concern about your profile. Boards should care because the loss of a primary banking relationship can disrupt payments, financing and even basic operations with little notice. This report explains how banking dependency and de-risking pressure are assessed in your chosen jurisdiction and industry, the indicators that a relationship is cooling, the scenarios that lead to account closure or credit withdrawal, the realistic impact ranges, and the resilience steps available. It also sets out when to engage banking advisers, compliance specialists and counsel, presented as research to inform banking strategy rather than as advice on any specific institution.
