Q2 2021 Bank Executive Business Outlook Survey

April 1, 2021

The views of respondents representing small- and medium-sized community banks diverged on a number of key issues in this quarter's Bank Executive Business Outlook Survey.

On the question of whether the spike in housing prices this year poses a serious risk to the U.S. economy, half of executives at banks with assets of $1 billion or less answered in the affirmative compared to 38% of those at banks with assets of $1 billion to $10 billion.

Overall, 71% of all respondents noted improved economic conditions from Q1 2021. However, the percentage of respondents that expected overall economic conditions to improve in the 12 months ahead declined five points to 52%.

A list identifying IntraFi network banks can be found at www.IntraFi.com/network-banks.

Deposit placement through an IntraFi service is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. IntraFi is not an FDIC-insured bank, and deposit insurance covers the failure of an insured bank. Deposits placed through CDARS and ICS are placed at FDIC-insured banks in IntraFi’s network and are eligible for FDIC deposit insurance coverage at network banks. 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 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. 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.
