The regional bank told analysts that it has studied how much debt it would need to raise based on an effective post-reform capital floor of 6% of risk-weighted assets, and has determined that that increase in capital would be manageable.

The Dallas-based company, which saw $3.7 billion of deposits withdrawn after Silicon Valley Bank failed, now predicts average deposits will fall 14% to 15% compared with last year. However, the pace of outflow is slowing, say the bank's executives.

The company says young consumers, steady credit quality and a robust travel recovery will offset a weaker economy for small businesses.

The Ohio-based regional bank continued to drive loan and deposit growth in the second quarter. But lending activity is expected to ease while funding costs remain high, tempering net interest income expectations for the full year.

Chairman and CEO Chris Gorman said Key's reduction efforts were prompted by an expectation big banks will be expected to operate with significantly lower loan-to-deposit ratios going forward.

The Columbus, Georgia, bank is selling a $1.3 billion portfolio as part of a plan to pay off higher-cost funding. Though there are rising concerns about the office sector, Synovus said the loans it's offloading have pristine credit quality.
