KBRA Releases Report: Bank Deposits Today and Tomorrow

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) announces the release of a report on bank deposits “Bank Deposits Today and Tomorrow.”

In this report, KBRA reviews current concerns in the bank space that deposits in the banking system are growing too slow relative to loan volumes and could lead the industry to wage deposit wars and increase dependence on less-stable, non-deposit funding. However, fears that the Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio, which emphasizes retail deposit funding, combined with normal competitive pressures from retail money market funds when the Fed is tightening, will increase deposit beta faster than in past interest rate cycles are belied by the current abundance of deposits relative to loans. A review of the macro and micro data confirms these concerns as premature.

However, technological and social changes in retail deposit behavior combined with six years of Fed Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP), have eroded the concept of core deposits and blurred distinctions with brokered deposits. The new Crapo Act liberalizes Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) regulations defining brokered deposits and directs that the FDIC amend the definition to provide a limited exemption for reciprocal deposits.
