Market Rates Insight Launches New Webinar Series for Banks to Improve Deposit Pricing Strategies

Nov. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- SAN ANSELMO, Calif. -- Market Rates Insight, Inc. (http://www.marketratesinsight.com), a leading pricing intelligence research firm that tracks rate and banking products for financial institutions, is launching a series of 15-minute webinars to reveal how banks and credit unions can improve their profits with new tactics such as deposit pricing, new product terms, and new tools and processes. The first of these free webinars on building profits with better deposit pricing will be presented twice on Thursday, November 3, at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. ET. Webinars on new products and tools and processes will be presented November 17 and December 8.

In the November 3 presentation, Pat Townsley, Market Rates Insight’s Vice President of Business Development, will demonstrate how smaller financial institutions use static comparative rate data to contrast and compare competitive pricing for their deposit products in a fluid pricing market. To compete with larger banks that retire and replace unprofitable products, smaller financial institutions can identify new ways to apply fluid reporting that follows market trends to stay ahead of their competitors.

The webinar series is free to any banking executive interested in competitive deposit rate research. For more information about the series and to register for the event, contact Pat Townsley at pat.townsley@marketratesinsight.com.
