The Birmingham, Alabama, bank said that its deposits fell by $3.3 billion last quarter, and it projected a decrease of up to $2 billion between April and June. Executives assured investors that sizable liquidity sources are available.

The Green Bay bank has seen stable performance since its recent strategy overhaul.

Elevated interest rates, economic uncertainty and financial sector fragility exposed by recent bank failures threaten to stunt lending activity.

The regional bank started making moves to protect deposits last year, which prevented steeper declines during a volatile first quarter, CEO Tim Spence says.

The Dallas-based bank expects some of the recent deposit outflows to return in the future.

Although the Columbus, Ohio-based regional emerged from the recent crisis relatively unscathed, management was still taking steps to shore up its balance sheet, including forgoing stock buybacks to strengthen a key capital metric.

Despite slower new-account growth, the card network had healthy overall sales, loan growth and deposit inflows in the first quarter. The performance gave credence to its ambitions to become a digital banking giant.

The Cleveland-based regional bank said that its net interest income fell 10% — and profits declined by an even larger percentage — as it paid more to retain depositors. Still, CEO Chris Gorman said the company is "well prepared to handle the deposit challenges in front of the market."

The Charlotte, North Carolina, company plans to fold the online consumer lending platform LightStream into its broader consumer business. On top of a recent pullback in bond trading, it may also make further reductions in its mortgage business and occupied real estate.

Paying higher rates to customers should help stem deposit outflows at the Salt Lake City bank. But it's expected to contribute to a projected 7% drop in net interest income during the second quarter.
