The large U.S. banks continued to reduce rates paid on interest-bearing deposits in 3Q09, as deposit competition eases. Many banks reported q/q declines in average deposits. However, with banks’ loan portfolios also shrinking, most of these banks improved their loan-to-deposit ratios.
The largest banks (Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase) offer by far the lowest rates; Wells Fargo’s rate fell 3 bps between 2Q09 to 3Q09, to 0.57%. Regional banks maintain relatively higher rates, with KeyBank’s average rate above 2%.
For most banks, there was stronger growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, with many regional banks reporting double-digit annualized increases between 2Q09 and 3Q09.
