Lending Growth Slows at Major US Banks as Interest Rates Rise
  • 7 months ago
Rising interest rates in the US are curbing lending growth at big US banks in the third quarter. Revenue from lending fell at banks like JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America as rate increases cut demand for mortgages and other loans. Net interest margins, the difference between what banks pay on deposits and earn from loans, have risen but not enough to offset the hit to outstanding loan balances from higher rates and weaker demand. Net income still rose for most banks due to higher net interest income but the trajectory of lending growth has slowed noticeably.
