Net interest income increased by $11.7 billion to $42.9 billion in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction, and lower rates paid on deposits.
Net interest margin increased by 96 bps to 7.84% in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction, and lower rates paid on deposits.
Our total company cumulative interest-bearing deposit beta increased to 23% as of December 31, 2025, from 11% as of December 31, 2024. We define cumulative deposit beta as the ratio of changes in the average rate paid on our average interest-bearing deposits to changes in the upper bound of the federal funds rate during the falling interest rate cycle.
