Savings Institutions & Other Depository Credit Intermediation in the US Industry Data and Analysis

Catarina Salazar
Analyst New York, United States August 2026

Savings institutions have contended with intensifying external competition over the past five years, losing deposits to nationally scaled commercial banks, money market mutual funds and financial technology platforms competing on onboarding speed and mobile functionality rather than branch presence. Digital account opening and online rate-comparison tools have cut switching costs, while federal deposit insurance removes quality differentiation between providers up to the coverage limit, leaving advertised rates to determine where household balances land. Sustained merger and acquisition activity has sharply reduced the number of enterprises as compliance obligations, multi-year core banking contracts, and cybersecurity requirements have overwhelmed the smallest institutions, concentrating the industry without making it more dynamic. Elevated mortgage rates suppressed origination and refinancing volumes for most of the period, while the qualified thrift lender test limited diversification away from residential exposure, leaving commercial and industrial lending and card services as the more reliable sources of yield. Revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 0.1% over the past five years and is expected to reach $76.9 billion in 2026, when revenue will rise by an estimated 2.2%.
