What is the Core Deposit Ratio?
The Core Deposit Ratio measures 'core' deposits (total deposits less time deposits over $250,000 and less brokered deposits of $250,000 or less) as a percentage of total deposits. Core deposits are the most stable, lowest-cost funding source available to a bank.
Most US community banks report core deposit ratios between 75% and 95%. Above 90% indicates a strong franchise, likely consumer-checking-heavy or relationship-banking-heavy. Below 70% indicates significant wholesale funding reliance (brokered deposits or large time deposits).
