In the banking industry, demand for products and services can exhibit seasonality. December is generally the least effective time for marketing bank products, while the period from the second week of September through October is often the most favorable. Loan demand typically increases in the spring in agricultural areas, with liquidation occurring in midsummer. Nationally, aggregate member bank loans tend to rise in late summer or early fall, peaking in December, followed by a substantial liquidation in the early months of the year until midsummer. These general banking industry trends likely influence Customers Bancorp, Inc.'s operations.
