Deposits represented 48% and 49% of total liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Deposits increased $1.8 billion to $25.9 billion at December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, driven by
a $2.4 billion increase in money market and savings accounts. Deposits generally provide us the benefit of lower
interest costs, compared with wholesale funding alternatives.
During the first three quarters of 2007, the deposits balance increased $5.1 billion, primarily the result of the
growth in our Complete Savings Account. This product created measurable growth in cash from new and existing
customers; however, during the fourth quarter of 2007, we experienced a disruption in our customer base and the
customer deposit balances began to decline. We believe this disruption was due to the uncertainty surrounding
the Company in connection with the credit related losses in our institutional segment. While we continue to
anticipate credit related losses, primarily in our home equity loan portfolio, we believe our retail customer base
has stabilized, and will return to growth in 2008.
The deposits balance is a component of the total customer cash and deposits balance reported as a customer
activity metric of $33.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2007. The total customer cash and deposits
balance is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
