Study Notes

Sources of Bank Funds

  • Banks acquire funds through various sources, primarily deposits.
  • Depositors/Lenders provide funds to the bank.
  • Withdrawals allow depositors to access their funds.
  • Banks act as financial intermediaries, connecting savers and borrowers.
  • Interest payments are paid to depositors (low rate), and borrowers pay interest (high rate).

Types of Bank Deposits

  • Demand Deposits: Non-interest-bearing accounts, allow immediate withdrawals via checks or electronic transfers. Lowest cost source of funding.
  • Savings Deposits: Interest-bearing, withdrawals are permitted at any time, with often little or no notice.
  • Time Deposits: Interest-bearing accounts with a fixed maturity date. Withdrawal penalties may apply. Different categories exist for large denominations.

Other Classifications of Deposits

  • Public Deposits: Deposits from government units (e.g., state & federal).
  • Correspondent Deposits: Deposits from other banks. Often demand deposits due to services such as check clearing.

Interest Rates and Deposits

  • Interest rates vary based on the deposit type and maturity.
  • Longer-term deposits often carry higher interest rates to incentivize depositors.
  • Short-term deposits, such as demand deposits, typically have lower interest rates due to accessibility and immediate withdrawal.

Composition of Bank Deposits

  • Time and savings deposits are typically the most attractive to consumers.
  • Demand deposits are declining due to electronic payment methods and fewer customers preferring this option, which makes it less attractive to banks.
  • Core deposits are highly stable and are less sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, remaining with the bank.

Pricing Deposits Using Marginal Cost

  • Banks utilize marginal cost, the added cost of bringing in new funds, in pricing their deposit services rather than average costs.
  • This approach allows banks to adapt to fluctuating interest rates.

Measuring Marginal Cost

  • Marginal cost = change in total cost - (New interest rate * Total funds raised at new rate) – (Old interest rate * Total funds raised at old rate)
  • To properly gauge the marginal cost, one must understand the difference between funds inflow in old and new rates.

Managing Non-Deposit Liabilities

  • Banks, in an ideal banking world, would have enough deposits to cover all loans and investments, but when deposits fall short, banks draw from nondeposit sources, also known as liabilities.
  • Non-deposit sources include Federal Funds Market, Repurchase Agreements (Repos), borrowing from the Central Bank, and selling large negotiable CDs (NCDs).

Conditional Pricing

  • Banks use fees based on transaction activity, average balance over a period, and maturity in pricing deposits. Essentially banks are offering incentives/disincentives around certain use cases of the deposit.
  • This approach helps in managing the relationship with customers and maximizing the profit margin.

The Funds Gap

  • The difference between expected inflow and outflow (credit demands and deposits), determines a bank's need for nondeposit funds.
  • Projections of deposits and withdrawals are crucial in assessing funding gaps.
