What advantages do compensating balances have for banks?

In: Personal Finance [Edit categories]

Answer:

They will first allow the banker to balance its books. The bank is said to be in "balance". It will also allow for proper reconcilliation of related, offsettng accounts. A hypotication is levveraged debt by pledging a note and bank asset as collateral for a loan. For example, a $1,000 CD can stand as the assurance for a $1,000 loan. Bank regulators are less concered with the credit of the borrower for an obligation secured by compensating balances which is a compensating collateral account or certificate of deposit.
