GROWTH Conference: Maximizing Margin Expansion in a Rising Rate Environment
The prospect of a rising interest rate cycle portends an opportunity for expansion of Net Interest Margin (NIM). However, NIM expansion is not a given, and the range of impact from one financial institution to another will be significant. Data analytics that reveal the intersection of portfolio and member relationship factors is fundamental to developing a strategy that produces the most positive impact on NIM.
Join us for this informative, thought-provoking session at GROWTH 2023 (Sept. 20-22) that seeks to answer this question: What is the best way to approach this unique historical challenge? We’ll dive deep into the data for an answer to this critical question, as we discuss these takeaways: key metrics for prioritizing deposit rate lag strategies; how to manage customer relationship retention as deposit rates adjust; a roadmap for putting data into action to manage deposit repricing risk; and case studies of institutions that are already succeeding in this endeavor.
