Margin capture report: loan beta versus deposit beta

Compare a bank's loan beta with its deposit beta and rank the spread against its asset-band peers, from FFIEC filings. No account or key needed. Every number is labelled filed, derived, or assumed.

Example

STIFEL BANK&TRUST's loan beta of 0.62 against a deposit beta of 0.55 gives a spread of +0.07, ahead of 81% of $10B–$50B banks. Inputs: Rate cycle: 2022–23 hiking cycle. Loan beta 0.62 came from the bank's own filings, measured on 2022–23 hiking cycle (Dec 2021 to Jun 2024). Deposit beta 0.55 came from the bank's own filings, measured on 2022–23 hiking cycle (Dec 2021 to Jun 2024).

Filed: Reported directly in the bank's FFIEC Call Report. Derived: Calculated by OptimaYield from filed figures using the method described below. Assumed: An assumption you entered or a scenario input, not a reported figure.

This is a scenario built from the assumptions above, not a recommendation, price target, or regulatory conclusion.

How it is calculated

For each bank, loan beta and deposit beta are measured over the same disclosed rate cycle, using the same formula: the change in the yield or cost divided by the change in the Fed funds rate.

Beta spread is loan beta minus deposit beta. A positive spread means loan yields captured more of the rate move than deposit costs gave away. NII per +100bp weights each beta by its share of assets: (loan beta × loans/assets − deposit beta × interest-bearing deposits/assets) × 100 bp.

The peer table covers banks in the same reported asset band that have both betas over the selected cycle. Banks without both are listed nowhere in the ranking, never ranked on a partial number.

What it does not do

  • Only banks with enough filed history have their own betas (roughly the larger banks); others are not ranked and this report abstains for them rather than borrowing a peer figure.
  • Loan beta is measured on reported yield and lags for fixed-rate books. Spread comparisons are most meaningful between banks with similar loan mix.
  • Full-cycle quarterly-interval betas can be unstable when hikes and cuts offset; prefer the cumulative cycle windows.
  • First-order and static: securities, non-interest-bearing funding, hedges, and growth are not modelled.

Questions and answers

What does a positive beta spread mean?

A positive spread means the bank's loan yields moved with Fed rate changes more than its deposit costs did, so a rising-rate environment tended to widen its margin. A negative spread means deposit costs followed rates faster than loan yields.

Why compare against asset-band peers?

Betas depend heavily on funding mix and loan book, and both track bank size. Comparing within the same reported asset band keeps the comparison between banks with similar franchises.

Why does the report sometimes refuse to run for a bank?

A bank needs enough filed quarters spanning the chosen rate cycle for a beta to be measured. For newer or smaller filers there is not yet enough history, and this report shows peers instead of estimating.

Use it from code or an AI assistant

The same calculation is available as a free JSON and CSV API, an OpenAPI description, and a remote MCP server, so analysts, scripts, and AI assistants get identical numbers.
