On a year-over-year basis, credit and debit card revenue went up 8.2% to $344 million. Trust and investment management fees also increased 8.2% to $411 million due to business growth and favorable market conditions.

Mortgage banking revenue was down 18.3% year over year to $174 million, mainly due to lower mortgage production and the adverse impact on gain on sale margins due to excess industry capacity. Commercial products revenue was down by 10% to $216 million, mainly due to lower corporate bond underwriting fees and loan syndication fees.

Average total loans were $281.07 billion, up from the linked quarter's $278.62 billion and the year-ago period's $277.63 billion. Average total deposits were $330.12 billion, compared with $334.82 billion in the second quarter and $335.15 billion in the year-ago quarter.
