One of the lessons that was driven home at the recent American Banker Small Business Banking Conference in Nashville was the difference in marketing between large national banks and community banks, particularly deposit marketing. Most national and regional banks allocate marketing resources to recently acquired customers to get them to build deposit balances and purchase other products, while most community banks do not.

Community banks are striving to increase loan yield and maintain their cost of funding (COF). Unfortunately, pressure on COF is expected to remain, and loans will reprice slower than expected as borrowers with below-market rates will wait until the last maturity day to refinance their credits. We have created and used a novel structure to take advantage of the inverted yield curve to allow community banks to increase net interest margin (NIM) and fee income on these existing fixed-rate loans.
