Accountant argues no savings bank can exist with deposits over a million
A New York accountant who analyzed failed savings banks writes that banks with deposits above one million dollars cannot be viable. With deposits at or below this level, the margin between interest paid and earned is too small to cover running expenses, even at 6 percent paid to depositors and 7 percent earned from investments. He notes even at hundred thousand dollar deposits the net income is insufficient to cover basic staff costs, suggesting any such bank would fail within years and require ongoing examiner oversight.
