The only answer is profit. Everything that banks do is only because they see the opportunity to earn money and make profit. They see in blockchain new technology they could easily use in they business, lower the costs and run profitable business. Simple as that. But the fact that banks will implement blockchain technology will not influence Bitcoin in negative way.

Yup.  Customers want to use blockchain assets like bitcoin and so financial services providers (aka banks) will need to use a blockchain to enable these services.

Banks would use blockchain because it is more affordable and also it can expand the number of its users because those people who are using blockchain will try banks that use blockchain too. Blockchain is much cheaper than the traditional system and it also offers fast transaction, So i think banks should use blockchain as soon as possible.

It's not so easy. There are two different things:
- Banks would use blockchain, because it will be faster and cheaper: Yes, it's blockchain, not Bitcoin
- People are using blockchain: Yes, because people use Bitcoin which is blockchain too
- People will search for banks who have implemented the blockchain technology: No, because people won't mind what's behind the scenes in banks' system, is it a blockchain or not, they only want cheap and quick service, and they don't care about how banks solves this inside their systems. If banks can solve it with blockchain or without blockchain, people usually don't care
- Banks should use blockchain as soon as possible: Yes, because they can cut their costs on international transfers  (with blockchain and not with bitcoin). National transfers and intra-bank transfers are quick and cheap without blockchain, so banks won't develop this. International transfers are mainly used by companies (most of the people start international transfers really rarely, few times a year). People won't choose a bank depending on the usage of the blockchain for international transfers, because this is not their main interest. It's only companies (export-import companies) who can benefit from switching to blockchain, but really big companies has discounted fees at banks, so it's only the time that can be the real benefit for them (nowdays international transfer takes 2-3 days, with blockchain, it could be some hours, but in this case all the banks should use the same blockchain system)

There's an article about this in the Financial Times called, "Big banks plan to coin new digital currency". I had written about this in another post. Currently, four large banks are working on building their own digital currency, and the technology they're planning to use is built on Bitcoin. Here's a link to the article: https://www.ft.com/content/1a962c16-6952-11e6-ae5b-a7cc5dd5a28c

Ask rather, "Why would banks use accounting."

The way I describe to non-technical people is, "It's accounting 2.0."

Traditional two-entry accounting can span thousands of ledgers for sufficiently large corporations. A blockchain is a single, distributed ledger, an immutable record, fully auditable, and best of all, math!

This is the best answer, the blockchain can make the companies run in automation on his beneficial structure.
With accounting 2.0 with fully automation and they can save a lot of bucks.
That's why the entethalliance has made.
