He added that while the shift in preferences will not change he volume of deposits, the shift poses challenges for deposit management and could increase funding costs for banks. Rao was speaking at the Mint BFSI summit here on Friday.<br \/>\u201cCustomer behaviour and preferences are undergoing profound changes while global ecosystems and external factors such as third-party dependencies and technology shifts are growing increasingly complex, reshaping the business landscape.\u201d<br \/>He also cautioned against over-reliance on wholesale funding, stating that \u201cbanks heavily reliant on wholesale funding are more vulnerable to rollover risks and outflows in times of economic stress.\u201d He urged banks to \u201cdevelop more sophisticated stress-testing methodologies that evaluate their ability to withstand extreme scenarios\u201d, and to maintain adequate liquidity buffers to mitigate these risks. Rao also addressed the role of NBFCs in the financial system, acknowledging that \u201ctheir activities also involve a significant amount of maturity, liquidity, and credit transformation.\u201d<br \/>He stressed the need for NBFCs to diversify their funding sources.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
