Consider omitting 'level' here. You're going to have it in the next two items. One fewer occurrence of the word won't hurt.
The French doesn't say which 'level' of the equipment is meant. The quantity level? The technology level? The deployment level? Having the word there in English resolves none of the ambiguity and only makes it more obvious.

Jaila makes a good point: banks do talk about "equipping" customers with their products and services, even as their "equipment loans" go to finance hardware and customers' 'équipements bancaires' include POS terminals and the like.
If this is clearly what is meant, substitute "products and services from the bank". "Facilities" always involve extending credit in some form.

: Equipement is not equipment or technology here. It's about how many products and services the client has purchased i.e. the products and services the bank has "equipped" its client with.

Could be, in current bank marketing jargon. But this is an ambiguity that can be resolved only with more context indicating 'équipement en produits et services bancaires'.

IMO. Additional context might allow new equipment or equipment purchased, but I'm not sure. :-|

equipment/ownership rate
I would not use "level for niveau" on the basis of the following links:

Discussion
1. What's the profile of author ? Banker? Consultant?
2. Regarding 'les offres', I guess they're for commercial clients? If so, do they include software packages?
