The 2020 Summary of Deposits Survey showed deposit growth of 21.7 percent between June 2019 and June 2020, the largest one-year increase in nearly 80 years. The large year-overyear increase in deposits occurred primarily in the first two quarters of 2020, and was likely driven by reactions of individuals, businesses, and U.S. fiscal and monetary authorities to the COVID-19 pandemic. Deposits increased the most for noncommunity banks, midsize banks, banks with a mortgage lending specialization, and offices in metropolitan counties. The number of bank offices declined for the 11th consecutive year but at a lower rate than in the previous three years. The relatively low rate of decline in the number of offices was influenced by a low rate of closures among offices acquired through mergers. Further, the number of noncommunity bank offices and offices in metropolitan counties declined at low rates from June 2019 to June 2020 compared to previous years.
