(http://www.marketratesinsight.com), a leading pricing intelligence research firm that tracks rate and banking products for financial institutions, will reveal how top banking institutions use hidden tactics in pricing deposit products, and how smaller institutions can take advantage of these tactics to offer more competitive rates. The first of three free 20-minute executive webinars on The Top Three Deposit Pricing Tactics is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. ET this Wednesday, October 26.

In this presentation, Pat Townsley, Market Rates Insight's Vice President of Business Development will demonstrate how smaller financial institutions often view rigid comparative rate data to contrast and compare competitive pricing for their deposit products. This happens when larger banks retire those deposit products and replace them with new products with more profitable terms or tiers, and product misalignment occurs.

To combat these tactics, Mr. Townsley will show how institutions can apply fluid, reporting that follows changing market trends and conditions.

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 dot com dot
