National Context
What is the Loan-to-Deposit Ratio?
The Loan-to-Deposit Ratio measures the bank's loans outstanding as a percentage of its deposit base. It captures how aggressively the bank is deploying its core funding into lending vs. holding liquid securities.
Most US community banks report LTD between 65% and 90%. The industry has been gradually de-leveraging. LTD has fallen from ~80% to ~70% since 2007. Banks above 100% are funding loans with non-deposit sources, a more rate-sensitive and lower-quality funding mix.
