F.E. DiBacco, Inc. is a 35-year-old company that helps organizations reduce bank fees through a proprietary fee analysis process. They analyze all bank fees and product costs, identify opportunities to lower costs, and are paid a contingency fee based on client savings. Their five-step review process uses patented software to provide an in-depth analysis of all bank fees while minimizing client staff involvement. Bank fees are increasing as bank earnings shift from interest to fees, making DiBacco's specialized fee reduction services increasingly valuable for organizations.

3. How do banks price their services
• Bank fees are set on what the
market will bear.
• Not all bank fees are created equal.
• Banks typically increase fees both
vertically and horizontally.

4. The banking environment is ever changing
• Bank earnings are under pressure from:
– The current economic environment
– Banking regulators
– U.S. Congress and Senate
• The composition of bank earnings has shifted over the last 30
years from margin to fee income brought on by their need to:
– Reduce volatility in earnings from margin
– Reduce balance sheet growth and risk
– Reduce leverage and preserve capital
• Banking fees will continue to trend higher!!

5. Our process
• We offer specialized, in-depth and incisive analysis
of your current depository relationships and
identify opportunities to reduce fees being paid.
• Depository Diagnostics, internally developed and patented
bank fee analyzer software.
• Five step comprehensive review... more than just lowering fees:
1. Review – low and non-earning asset
2. Analyze – bank fees
3. Study – all product groups (ACH, LBX, WIRES, ETC.)
4. Drilldown – each subsidiary account
5. Diagnose – unit costs of product groups, ratios

6. The project funds itself
• Compensation is paid on a 100% contingency basis – fees
are calculated on realized savings and only paid when you
save money.
• The DiBacco team will provide a thorough analysis with
minimal involvement required from your staff.

7. Why can’t I do this myself
The answer is three-fold…
• First – our patented bank fee analyzer software “Depository
Diagnostics is proprietary and not available elsewhere.
• Second – Today’s demands on financial executives and their team
make it difficult to dedicate the time and resources necessary to sort
through the maze of line items to identify errors and overcharges, as
well as the identification of efficiencies.
• Third – The banking industry is in a constant state of change and we
are always up-to-date on the latest depository prices.

FED's patented system converts the Analysis Summary data, while it is benchmarking prices, into incisive spread sheets. Each item is clearly identified by Product Group, a grouping of one specific
service (see Product Group Grid) by color coding each cell. FED isolates the PG's to determine how the Processing, Manufactured, and Other Costs components are aligned within the PG. Each
component is highlighted by color coding the font. The combined data becomes the basis for performing thousands of calculations to determine each PG's component composition. If the processing
costs are less than 80%, then that PG needs attention. In essence, EVERY line item of EVERY Product Group of EVERY account of EVERY bank will be subjected to FED's diagnostic review.
