<\/p>\"\"\n

An \u201ceye-popping\u201d $2 trillion in cash has been stashed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the country in January.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

This surge of money into banks has no precedent in history.<\/p>\n

Several factors have contributed to the cash surge, including $600 billion in government-sponsored loans to small businesses, direct checks to individuals, and expanded unemployment benefits. Additionally, Americans have had fewer options for spending their money while on lockdown.<\/p>\n

So, how long will the $2 trillion remain in the bank? That\u2019s uncertain and the subject of much debate.<\/p>\n

We do know that individuals rely on banks to keep their money safe from loss or theft, to make payments easily and inexpensively, and to maintain records of financial transactions.2<\/sup>\u00a0In general, however, individuals don\u2019t expect bank accounts to generate much interest income. In fact, the average interest rate for savings accounts is 0.1%.3,4<\/sup><\/p>\n

What\u2019s worse is that banks are not expected to adjust interest rates any time soon. Simply put, they don\u2019t need the money.5<\/sup><\/p>\n
