Noninterest Income and Financial Performance at Jordanian Banks

Abstract

This paper investigated the impact of noninterest income on the performance of 13 banks in Jordan during the period 2000-2015. The impact of size of bank, loans, capital adequacy and general expenses on banks performance found to have a significant impact on banks performance. In more details, general expenses decrease bank performance, while capital adequacy, loans and size increase it. In addition, non-interest income increases equity capital adequacy and this in turn affects the profitability positively.
