Corporate card and debit card fees for the current quarter totaled $17.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Merchant fees grew by 6.1% due to higher transaction volumes, and totaled $6.4 million for the quarter.

Deposit account fees declined $814 thousand, or 3.9%, compared to last year as overdraft fees declined by $1.7 million, but were offset by growth in various other deposit fees of $892 thousand, or 38.5%. Capital market fees for the current quarter increased slightly to $5.0 million, while consumer brokerage services revenue decreased by $304 thousand, or 10.6%, due to declines in life insurance revenue. Loan fees and sales revenue was down $369 thousand, or 17.8%, from the same period last year mainly due to a decline in gains on student loan sales and lower mortgage banking revenue, partly offset by higher commercial loan commitment fees. Other non-interest income for the current quarter increased $2.5 million over the same quarter last year and included higher tax credit sales income and lease-related fees.

Capital market fees increased $2.2 million, or 22.5%, as a result of growth in sales of mainly fixed income securities to correspondent banks and other commercial customers. Consumer brokerage services revenue decreased by $441 thousand, or 8.0%, mainly due to a decline in variable annuity commissions and life insurance income, partly offset by growth in advisory fees. Loan fees and sales decreased $632 thousand, or 16.2%, due to a decline in mortgage banking revenue. Other non-interest income increased by $886 thousand, or 5.9%, mainly due to higher tax credit sales income and lease-related fees, partly offset by lower fees on interest rate swap sales.
