Basic Rate Sensitivity Analysis
The Basic Rate Sensitivity Analysis helps a credit union understand the historical behavior of deposit rates. This is one of the most important components in evaluating interest rate risk. This report estimates your credit union’s deposit rate sensitivities or betas that are unique to your credit union using call report data. It then compares your credit union’s deposit rate sensitivities to other credit unions in your county, state, and nation. Please click below if you would like a FREE copy of your Basic Rate Sensitivity Analysis along with a 10-15 minute consultation to show how this report can benefit your credit union.
