The total US bank deposits have been steadily increasing over the years, reaching a record high of $14.8 trillion in 2020.

US bank deposits have seen a significant surge in recent years, with a growth rate of 5.5% from 2019 to 2020.

This growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of digital banking and mobile banking apps, which have made it easier for people to manage their finances on the go.

In 2020, the average US bank deposit balance was $5,500, with the majority of deposits held in checking and savings accounts.

Bank Deposit Statistics

Bank deposits have been on the rise, and it's a big deal. Deposits rose by a record $2 trillion since January, when the novel coronavirus first gained a foothold in the country.

The surge in deposits is largely due to the $610 billion Paycheck Protection Program, which had participants apply through their bank. This means the money landed first in bank accounts.

In April, deposits skyrocketed by nearly $866 billion, more than the previous record for an entire year. Deposits grew by another $604 billion in May.

About two-thirds of the money flowed to the nation's biggest banks, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. data published this week.

Domestic deposits at U.S. banks grew to a record $16.98 trillion in 1Q21, with a 17% annualized growth in the quarter. This comes atop 23% growth in 2020.

Non-interest bearing deposits (NIB) grew at a 36% annualized pace in 1Q21, while interest bearing (IB) deposits grew at a 10% annualized pace in 1Q21.

Here's a breakdown of the growth in deposits:

These gains follow 46% and 16% increases respectively in 2020.

Deposit Types and Growth

Domestic deposits at U.S. banks grew to a record $16.98 trillion in 1Q21, with a 17% annualized growth rate.

This growth rate is on top of the 23% growth seen in 2020, and marks a significant shift from the pre-pandemic levels. Non-interest bearing deposits (NIB) grew at a 36% annualized pace in 1Q21, outpacing interest bearing (IB) deposits which grew at a 10% annualized pace.

The largest banks saw their deposit share dip slightly, from 48.7% in 2020 to 48.2% today, while the top ten banks grew at a 14% annualized rate.

In dollar terms, JP Morgan and Bank of America were the two fastest growing banks, while E*Trade, Silicon Valley and Signature Bank led the pack in percentage terms.

Growth of Non-Interest Bearing Deposits Continues

Non-interest bearing deposits (NIB) are growing at a rapid pace, outstripping interest bearing deposits. In the first quarter of 2021, NIB grew at a 36% annualized pace.

This growth is part of a larger trend that began during the pandemic. In 2020, NIB increased by 46%, while interest bearing deposits grew by 16%. The shift towards NIB is significant, and it's having a notable impact on the way banks are funded.

Some banks are deriving a larger ratio of deposit funding from NIB than others. Silicon Valley, Comerica, City National, and Zions are among the banks that are leveraging NIB to a greater extent. On the other hand, many broker-dealer affiliated banks are relying heavily on interest bearing deposits, with some deriving 100% of their deposit funding from IB.

The overall share of interest bearing deposits has fallen to 70.6% of total domestic deposits, down from 71.7% at the end of last year. This is a significant shift from the pre-pandemic level of 76.1%.

Brokered Deposits

Brokered Deposits are a significant source of funding for many banks. They accounted for 7.1% of all U.S. deposits.

Six major banks dominate the brokered deposits market: TD Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, E*Trade, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs. Together, these banks sourced $485 billion via brokered deposits.

These six banks have a significant presence in the market, with a combined 44% share of all brokered deposits.

Largest Banks and Deposits

The largest U.S. banks have seen significant growth in deposits since the pandemic began. J.P. Morgan's deposit growth slowed down to 6% in the first quarter, but its annualized growth rate is still impressive at 26%.

Banks of all sizes have experienced growth, with the top ten banks seeing a slight dip in their deposit share from 48.7% in 2020 to 48.2% in the first quarter. This is partly due to the growth of smaller banks, which saw a 17% annualized rate of growth.
