FIRST BUSEY CORP NV

Total deposits decreased by 3.2% to $9.96 billion as of March 31, 2024, compared to $10.29 billion as of December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, we moved $129.7 million of wealth management client funds that had previously been swept into interest-bearing money market accounts at Busey Bank back to money market investments managed by the Wealth Management division. Remaining decreases in total deposits were attributable to normal seasonal flows in our public fund accounts. The quality of our core deposit 4 franchise coupled with cash flows from our securities portfolio allows us to fund loan growth while limiting our reliance on higher cost wholesale funding alternatives. We focus on deepening our relationships with customers to maintain and protect our strong core deposit franchise. As of March 31, 2024, our average customer tenure was 16.6 years for retail customers and 12.4 years for commercial customers. Core deposits include non-brokered transaction accounts, money market and savings deposit accounts, and time deposits of $250,000 or less. Core deposits represented 96.7% of total deposits as of March 31, 2024, compared to 96.2% as of December 31, 2023. Our estimated amount of uninsured deposits was $3.63 billion as of March 31, 2024, compared to $3.81 billion as of December 31, 2023.
