Annual Survey of Community Banks

The 2024 CSBS Annual Survey of Community Banks is currently live!

This is the eleventh year of the survey, which looks at the views of community bankers on the state of community banking, the economy, regulation, and supervision.

If your bank has less than $10 billion in total assets, we encourage you to take this opportunity to share your perspectives.  

The survey results are presented each year at the Community Banking Research Conference, an event sponsored by CSBS, the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC, and throughout the year with state and federal policymakers. 

Survey Close Date: July 14, 2024

The survey takes approximately 25-35 minutes to complete, and responses may be entered during multiple sessions between now and July 14. For reference purposes, a PDF of the 2024 Annual Survey questions is available here.
