At the webinar we emphasize the importance of beginning preparations towards rebuilding profitability and capital now that there will be less revenue due to customer relief recommendations established by the NCUA and FDIC, as well as lower interest income due to the Fed cutting rates.
We understand how important it is for your financial institution to increase the efficiency ratio and increase profitability. Two areas of focus that will help your efficiency ratio are non-interest income and non-interest expense. By increasing non-interest income and decreasing non-interest expense you will be able to increase the efficiency ratio while rebuilding some of the profitability and capital you may have lost amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and low interest rate environment.
