The Changing Role of Bank Branching
Wednesday, March 27, 2024 | 3:30-5:15 p.m.
Speaker: Philip E. Strahan, Collins Chair in Finance, Carroll School of Management at Boston College
Dubois Center at UNC Charlotte Center City, Room 1104
320 E 9th St, Charlotte, NC 28202
Banks’ physical presence in local markets has traditionally been crucial both for their ability to raise deposits and support the payments system, as well as to supply credit and liquidity to customers. As such, regulation and deregulation of banks’ ability to extend their branch networks had large effects on credit supply, entrepreneurial outcomes, and economic growth. Moreover, banks’ ability to respond effectively to local shocks was mediated by the location and scope of their branch networks.
The critical role of branches, however, is being challenged by the advent of information technologies ("Fintech") which exploit modern telecommunications to supply both payments and credit services outside the traditional banking system. These changes have the potential to affect bank competitive behavior, financial stability, and the transmission of monetary policy, posing significant challenges for regulators and policy makers.
Dr. Philip E. Strahan, Collins Professor of Finance, Boston College, Carroll School of Management, will discuss new research which has begun to develop these implications, although many uncertainties remain.
