Banks and credit unions are starting to see notable deposit outflows and pricing pressure for the first time this cycle.  Loan growth is outpacing deposit inflows in most markets while many institutions are turning to the wholesale funding markets for the first time in years. The FOMC is on pace to move 300BPs this year and many institutions are staying ahead of the market by introducing deposit specials.


But questions remain at almost every ALCO and pricing committee, including:

(1) When is the right time to increase current rates?

(2) What is the optimal pricing in this market?

(3) How much cannibalization can we expect as we roll out new premium products?
