It’s the number of accounts vendors love, not the balances

As of 11:00 AM Central Standard Time on February 15, 2006, Art Gillis updated the Number of U.S. Bank Accounts Model as shown below. But first, some caveats.

This is not a first-time exercise, thus having the benefit of corrections made in previous attempts to arrive at projections. However, extrapolations, made based on a sample size of a few hundred client banks, may not produce perfect results.
Gillis relied on his own tools and judgment. No one contributed to this exercise. Not even google.com.
Gillis had a very comfortable eight hours of sleep last night. He dreamt of cultivating his garden in the Spring, even though weather reports indicated a two-foot cover of snow in the Northeast.
Gillis had his usual breakfast of orange juice, English muffin and coffee, then drove six miles to the office.
He was in a perfect mood to address the model.
