In Q2/24, the average return on equity (ROE) for the entire banking industry increased to 11.67% (from 11.11% in the previous quarter).

As a general statement, banks offer too many options for certificates of deposits (CDs). Consider that the average bank offers 12 different maturities, some “specials,” plus several different tiers of pricing within each maturity. We have seen banks with as many as 42 different CD options which is inefficient for every party. The problem is too many CD offerings can increase a bank’s cost, confuse customers, confuse employees and, worst of all – damage its overall deposit performance.
