2024 Q1 Insights Report

Published: July 24, 2024

The share of credit card balances past due reached the highest level since the start of the data series in 2012. Nominal credit card balances were still hovering near series highs, although total credit card balances and the number of credit card accounts held by large banks declined in the first quarter of 2024. The number of new credit card accounts and the total value of new credit card lines fell in the first quarter, which is typical for the quarter following year-end holiday spending.

For mortgages, first-lien originations reached their lowest levels since the start of the data series in 2012 as high housing costs and mortgage rates tempered demand. First-lien outstanding nominal balances decreased in the quarter for the first time since 2021. Mortgage loan balances and original loan sizes reached series highs for various cohorts of borrowers.

The respondent panel comprises U.S. bank holding companies, U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations, and covered savings and loan holding companies with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets. These institutions are required to report credit card or first-lien mortgage data if portfolio balances exceed $5 billion or are material relative to Tier 1 capital. Firms with over $100 billion in total consolidated assets that do not meet these thresholds may also voluntarily provide FR Y-14M data. The reporting provides users with aggregate data on credit card and first-lien mortgages including portfolio composition, credit performance, origination activities, credit card payment behavior, and credit card line utilization. This publication will be released on a quarterly frequency.
