IntraFi’s Bank Executive Business Outlook Survey Overview

IntraFi® launched its inaugural Bank Executive Business Outlook Survey nine years ago, in Q1 2015, to reinforce its commitment to the banking industry. The survey was designed to gather and share information about bank decision-makers’ experiences over the past year and their expectations for how the industry landscape may change over the coming year. Participation, which is limited to bank CEOs, presidents, and CFOs, has grown substantially since its inception. The survey for the latest quarter included responses from executives representing more than 10% of U.S. banks (many multiples of what other industry polls typically gather).
