Deposit Account Acquisition
The Sustainable Strategy to Growing Your Retail Core Deposits. Acquisition OpportunitiesAcquisition Strategies Must Evolve with Changing Market Conditions
Since the founding of our company in 2000, we have adjusted our approach to growing retail market share seven times. Each change was a direct result of changes we experienced in market conditions, and in every case, new opportunities have presented themselves. Typically, changes have been driven by negative factors driving markets, today is no exception.
The need for liquidity is a focus of many institutions resulting in a competitive environment for low cost core deposits.
When borrowing and interest rates increase, it can put the pinch on financial institutions that use borrowing as a source of liquidity. By working with Stellar to implement both our short-term and long-term deposit solutions, institutions have a proven alternative to rising borrowing rates.
