The Board designed this survey to
determine from what sources small businesses and consumers in a
particular geographical area obtain financial services. The Board
uses this information to define relevant banking markets for
specific merger and acquisition applications and to evaluate
changes in competition that would result from proposed
transactions, including purchase and assumption agreements. The
event-generated survey is conducted by telephone and has been used
no more than once per year since 1990.
