Annual Survey of Community Banks

Findings from the 2024 CSBS Annual Survey of Community Banks

This year’s Annual Survey of Community Banks, conducted by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and state financial regulators, was issued in the wake of the failure of the first two of three large regional banks in 2023, which triggered, among other things, an intense focus on bank liquidity, uninsured deposits and unrealized losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities.

The survey was distributed by the state financial regulators from April to July 2024 and aimed to identify current issues of relevance to community banks.
