KBRA Releases Bank Talk: The After-Show


Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) announces the release of this month's edition of Bank Talk: The After-Show, by Ethan Heisler, founder and editor-in-chief of The Bank Treasury Newsletter and Senior Director at KBRA.

In this issue, Now What?, Ethan and Van look back over 137 quarters of FDIC financial data to construct a long-term view of how bank deposit beta correlates with the direction of interest rates-and why this interest rate cycle and the trend in deposit betas is so different from past cycles. Ethan discusses why he believes deposit beta may be peaking, and how an abundance of deposits in the banking system is muting the normal reaction of deposit betas to higher rates as in past cycles.

Finally, Ethan and Van discuss how, even with deposit pricing tightening in the last year, the public continues to hold larger deposit balances in their accounts, with 23% of deposits in noninterest-bearing deposits. Ethan and Van debate how this trend relates to the downward pressure on deposit service fees post-crisis, which on average accounts for 16% of noninterest income for regional and community banks.
