Deposits way up at ME, Investec, MacBank
2 February 2009 |
| |
| Investec, Members Equity Bank and Macquarie achieved strongest growth in household deposits in the three month to December 31 according to figures published by banking regulator APRA on Friday. Investec reported quarterly growth of 48 per cent; Members Equity Bank, 30 per cent and Macquarie, 26 per cent. ING Bank reported a decline in household deposits of four per cent over the quarter. HSBC Bank reported a decline of one per cent. Bank of Western Australia (now owned by Commonwealth Bank) reported growth of only one per cent over the quarter in household deposits and experienced an outflow of business deposits. Among the major banks the pattern of inflows was mixed. Commonwealth Bank and National Australia Bank recorded growth in business deposits of in excess of 10 per cent for the quarter, compared with system growth of six per cent. Those two banks recorded below average growth in household deposits, however. |
