THINK PIECE: Shifting Deposits Search Trends
At a Glance:
This report is a part of iQuanti’s research series: “Responding to COVID-19: Tactics for Financial Marketers”. This report focuses on the current DEPOSITS search trends in the banking sector in US and provides:
- Insights on shifting customer behavior trends in deposits.
- Tactics that bank marketers can implement to ensure marketing effectiveness during these uncertain times.
Some of our key findings from the report:
- We are seeing a hike in checking account search trends, though most of the interest is IRS linking related. When next stimulus packages get announced, we might see similar trends. Banks need to distinguish between actual rise in interest for product vs. customers looking to link their bank accounts with IRS.
- With the personal savings rate at an all-time high, we are seeing a higher demand for savings accounts, despite the low interest rates. However, the drop in interest rates for Certificate of Deposits had a more dire impact on its demand.
- During these volatile times, investors are increasing their cash position, and much of these cash positions find their way to the safety of FDIC-backed Money Market Accounts.
This report reflects our perspective as of early-July 2020.
