Just in - @ereborbank posted their 1st call report. In 7 weeks since opening, they've already hit $1.1 billion in deposits.
unprecedented growth for a de novo (or fintech)
For comparison
- Grasshopper Bank (also a tech-focused NYC de novo) took 7 years to reach the same number, and only got there via acquisition
- Square Financial Services, even with Block's enormous merchant base, sits at $495M after 5 years.
- Mercury took 4 years
- Chime took 6
At $1 billion this makes them ~1,000th largest bank in America (out of ~4,500).
If they want to be a top 100 bank, thats ~$20 billion of deposits. 5% of the way there in 7 weeks.
Next up...what do they do with those deposits? Will be watching how loans ramp from here!
@jasonlk Idn, I think it’s fine.
It depends on the leader, of course, and aligned incentives, but living under one roof helps keep new business accountable for long term value realization.
