Bank Reconciliation Statement
DEFINITION of 'Bank Reconciliation Statement'
A form that allows individuals to compare their personal bank account records to the bank's
records of the individual's account balance in order to uncover any possible discrepancies.
NVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Bank Reconciliation Statement'
Since there are timing differences between when data is entered in the banks systems and when
data is entered in the individual's system, there is sometimes a normal discrepancy between
account balances. The goal of reconciliation is to determine if the discrepancy is due to error
rather than timing.
What net interest margin is typical for a
bank?
However, this was the lowest average net interest margin in more than 10 years. The net interest
margin for American banks in the first quarter of 2005 was 3.5%. A recent peak of 3.84% was
reached in the first quarter of 2010. On the surface, this suggests that a typical net interest margin
for American banks in the 21st century ranges between 3 and 4%.
Explaining Net Interest Margin
In finance, the net interest margin measures the difference between interest paid and interest
received, adjusted relative to the amount of interest-generating assets.
To illustrate, take the simple case where a bank made loans equal to $100 million in a year. From
those loans, it generated $5.5 million in interest income. It also paid out $2.5 million in interest
to its depositors.
