Deposits don't need to have interest paid. It's entirely possible for the money to simply sit there and not be invested in anything.

Four questions - where does a bank store cash? What is the IORB and what are its underlying assumptions? What is the overhead cost in banking? What is the cost of ACH and a wire? I don’t contend you can just have money sit there. I also don’t contend that it was stupid in hindsight to be this levered to duration. But there is an overhead cost in banking.
