The next deposit battle is in front of us, but this time, it’s a battle within. An internal conflict is taking shape at financial institutions between the desire for additional deposit cost reliefversus the desire to accelerate deposit growth. With the Fed signaling an extended pause, the ability to get both in bulk will be incredibly challenging.
Finding the sweet spot amid this conflict will have a meaningful impact on funding costs and liquidity levels moving forward.
