Agentic Run Stress Test

Loading the filings

The question: if AI agents moved a slice of your bank's deposits within one business day, could it pay, and what would it cost? Planning for that contingency is part of safety and soundness, even though the likelier cost of AI agents is paying depositors more to stay. The page sizes both, and the contagion that could follow one failure, on each bank's own June 30, 2026 filings; you set every assumption. For an ordinary quarter, see Deposit Runoff Scenarios.

Your bank: the contingency drill and the likelier cost Scenario estimate

The contingency drill: a run at your bank The likelier cost: paying depositors more to stay
No agent run has happened. Planning for one is part of safety and soundness: interagency guidance from July 2023 expects every bank to test its contingency borrowing lines and to revise its plan as conditions change. The runs are a drill, not a forecast; the 40% severe run is beyond any run on record.
Paying up: agents get depositors a market rate, so these deposits stay but cost the bank this much a year. The hike's beta does not apply to them.
Share of all deposits, insured or not, in steps of 0.5%.
How the bank pays
Borrowing keeps the balance sheet whole at a higher funding cost; selling spends cash, then sells securities, at a loss if they sit below cost.
In basis points (bp): 100 bp is 1 percentage point.
The deposit beta: how much of a rate rise the bank pays on to the deposits that stay. Its own is measured over the last year; set your ALCO's figure if it differs.

1. Can it pay on the day? Hour by hour

Pledged collateral counts only if it is already lodged with the FHLB or the Federal Reserve and the borrowing lines have been tested; the filings show neither.

2. What it costs over a year: return on equity

Return on equity at June 30, 2026, what each part of the scenario takes away, and what is left after a year.

3. Peers at the same setting

Return on equity at June 30, 2026 (grey ring) and after a year at this setting (navy dot), for the bank and its seven named peers (the Know Your Peers group). Medians on the cards are of its wider Statum peer group.

4. Every hike and run size

Return on equity after, at the beta set above. Each square is one hike and one run size (on a phone the grid is turned, run sizes across); the ringed square is the current setting. Red squares are below zero; every square carries its value.

How the simulator calculates
  • It is Scenario C of Deposit Runoff Scenarios with one beta: the rate hike reprices every interest-bearing deposit at the beta set here, and the agent run takes the set share of deposits within the hours set here. "Borrows it back" refills the run with wholesale money at the short rate plus the hike plus the extra cost set in Assumptions; "Sells securities" spends cash, then sells securities at the sale discount set in Assumptions.
  • Separately, noninterest-bearing deposits are paid the rate set in "Rate paid on noninterest-bearing deposits"; the beta does not apply to them, and nothing leaves because of it.
  • "A year's pre-tax income" is pre-tax income for the first half of 2026, doubled. Return on equity and on assets start from the published UBPR figures. Each change is a year's change in net income, after a 21% tax (none for an S corporation), over total equity or total assets at June 30.
  • The hour-by-hour chart spreads the run evenly over the hours set. Cash is cash and federal funds sold above the minimum the bank keeps; securities free to sell are those not pledged; pledged collateral counts only if the bank is ready to borrow against it that day.

Before the clock moves again: five steps for the board

  1. Measure how much of a one-day outflow cash on hand covers at 5%, 10% and 25% of deposits, compare it with peers, and find your bank's ring of the blast radius.
  2. Make the borrowing real: confirm the Federal Home Loan Bank and discount window arrangements, lodge the collateral now, and run a small test transaction, as the July 2023 guidance expects.
  3. Know which balances could move together: the largest uninsured accounts, operating accounts tied to a few commercial relationships, and deposits gathered through a single channel.
  4. Write the agent scenario into the contingency funding plan, with an outflow speed measured in hours, and take it to ALCO and the board.
  5. Decide which deposits you would pay up to keep, and at what rate, so repricing is a choice rather than a scramble.
