Kasasa CEO Gabe Krajicek shares insights about the current situation for community financial institutions — their challenges, the importance of distinguishing between real growth and transient gains, and how strategic products and marketing support can drive long-term relationship-based growth.
Deposits are the most scarce they’ve been in over a decade, and major brands and fintechs continue to enter the game. Winning under these conditions is admittedly tough. But smart local banks and credit unions have incredible conditions to win in 2024 if they leverage their strengths.
In the midst of an epic funding gap crisis, growing low-cost core deposits is a must to survive. Taking a closer look at the advantages of high-yield checking accounts — and their unique COF discount — could be a key strategy to creating real growth in your deposit portfolio.
