One of the biggest influencers for margin success in the near-term will be the ability to manage deposit costs during the current and anticipated Fed tightening cycle. The market and industry dynamics are unique today. The industry is entering this cycle with the most deposit growth we have ever seen in a concentrated period. But questions remain, how will these new dynamics influence deposit volatility? What is your strategy to replace deposits if/when deposits begin to leave? What is your pricing strategy as rates start to move? Credit Unions should map out their deposit game plans, particularly since the Fed has indicated to act aggressively to lower inflation.


Join StoneCastle Cash Management and Darling Consulting Group on April 28th to share ideas on deposit initiatives, data analytics insights, and whether lessons learned from previous cycles still apply today.
