N2 - Do banks extract rent from depositors who hold older deposit accounts? This study addresses this question using product level data from the UK instant access (branch based) deposit market. In this context, two research questions related to the conditions necessary for differential pricing for existing and new customers are assessed. Specifically whether more mature deposit accounts have lower interest rates and does the newest deposit account in a firm portfolio pay an interest rate premium? Empirical support is provided for both questions, with interest rate setting for new and existing deposit accounts also found to be influenced by firm type
