Abstract
Are depositors sleepy? We challenge the traditional view of depositor sleepiness by introducing a new notion, depositor alertness, and find supporting evidence leveraging transactionlevel data from over a million U.S. depositors across major U.S. banks. Depositors shift their deposits across bank accounts more actively when the payment technology linked to their accounts is more efficient, which we define as the payment channel. Furthermore, depositors facing higher payment frictions are also more attuned to interest rate risk and shift their deposits more actively, which we define as the interest risk channel. Depositor alertness is particularly pronounced during periods of rate hikes but diminishes when rates fall. We further draw
causal evidence using a novel instrument: the exogenous exposure to fast payment technologies reduces transfer frictions, which consequently heightens depositor alertness. Our findings have significant policy implications, highlighting the impact of depositor behavior on bank funding costs and risks, especially amidst rapid developments in new payment technologies and during times of monetary tightening.
