Q3 2023 Bank Executive Business Outlook Survey

July 1, 2023

Although credit quality continues to hold steady, bankers are pessimistic about economic conditions for their institutions and are not expecting the Federal Reserve to begin lowering interest rates anytime soon.

In our third-quarter survey of nearly 600 unique bank respondents, bankers continue to be skeptical about economic conditions despite some signs the U.S. economy has remained resilient. Nearly half said economic conditions for their institutions deteriorated over the past 12 months, and only 12% said they expect that to improve in the year ahead.

Their views hold even though they have not seen a decline in credit quality so far. Fifty-nine percent of bank respondents said they do not expect to see higher delinquencies in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter, while nearly three-quarters said they do not expect higher charge-offs.

Deposit placement through an IntraFi service is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Deposits that are placed through an IntraFi service at FDIC-insured banks in IntraFi’s network are eligible for FDIC deposit insurance coverage at the network banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. To meet the conditions for pass-through FDIC deposit insurance, deposit accounts at FDIC-insured banks in IntraFi’s network that hold deposits placed using an IntraFi service are titled, and deposit account records are maintained, in accordance with FDIC regulations for pass-through coverage. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through an IntraFi service satisfies any restrictions on its deposits.
