2024 Q2 Insights Report

Published: October 9, 2024

Large banks have been tightening credit card underwriting for the past two years, with the median origination credit score for new card customers hitting an 11-year high in second quarter 2024. That has slowed industry growth, with card originations contracting on a year-over-year basis and card balances rising more slowly on a quarterly basis than in recent years. Card delinquency rates also improved from recent series highs, although seasonal factors are likely a contributor to that positive development.

Mortgage originations in second quarter 2024 fell 3.3 percent on a year-over-year basis and remain historically low. Mortgage portfolio credit quality is strong, with a median current credit score of 791 for large bank mortgage customers, and, in a notable contrast with credit cards, mortgage delinquency rates continue to hover around series lows.

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.
