Banks battle shrinking deposit levels
Bank deposits that soared following unprecedented COVID-related
government stimulus are coming back down. Pre-pandemic
deposit levels of nearly $13.4 trillion peaked at $18.1 trillion in
May 2022. Falling bank deposit levels are now attributed to the
combination of customers spending those cash reserves coupled
with competition from high-rate financial products.
face-to-face conversation and build
a lasting relationship, " says Silsby.
The " Your Choice " promotion allowed
the customer to choose whether they
received a premium rate on either a
CD or a money market account. To
qualify, they had to open or have a
checking account at the bank. The
premium rate also was only good up
to a maximum amount of $250,000.
During the fi rst six months, the
new branch raised $17.5 million in
new deposits.

3. Play defense
It's an ideal time to increase
customer outreach to protect existing
deposits, particularly among your
biggest deposit customers. " We're
a very traditional bank, so the best
way for us to grow our deposits
is really by focusing on who our
customer is, " says Jill Sung, CEO of
$322 million-asset Abacus Federal
Savings Bank in New York City.
For example, a segment of Abacus'
customer base is recent immigrants,
who tend to have very diff erent
banking needs than the typical
customer. " We want to understand
that segment better and then make
sure we're addressing their particular
needs, " Sung says.
Many of those immigrants have
gone on to start small businesses,
and the community bank is taking a
similar targeted approach to be more
in tune with what those customers
need, which also can help to generate
referral business.
" As a small bank, I think that's our
advantage, " Sung adds.
