Fee income

Executives at the Minneapolis bank, who expect two Fed rate cuts this year, said they can rely on growth in noninterest income to soften the blow.

The Minneapolis bank reported growth across several lending and noninterest income categories in the second quarter, which offset net interest margin pressures and declining deposit service fees.

New York Attorney General Letitia James said there is “no basis to believe” that the overdraft rule has harmed small banks and credits unions.

To make a credit card top of wallet and build interchange income, credit unions must develop trust, provide great service and ensure the card works every time.

Credit unions collect more in fee income than their banking counterparts. That could become problematic as the political winds and consumer preferences shift.

The agency launched a review to gauge whether the regulation requiring consumers to opt in to overdraft protection “should be amended or rescinded” to minimize the effects on smaller financial institutions.

Cushion uses AI to help consumers negotiate refunds of overdraft and other fees. But it argues there's a bank play in its technology if bankers take the long view.

The Providence, R.I., bank reported increases in most fee-based lines and loan categories, and it continued to add deposits through its new digital franchise, Citizens Access.

The Minneapolis bank reported mid- to high-single-digit improvement in those categories, but total loan growth was curbed by declines in CRE and other credit types.
