(Reuters) - A slew of banks in the United States reported deposit outflows in the first quarter, compared with the fourth quarter, after customers sought the refuge of "too-big-to-fail" institutions and money market funds for higher yields.

The closure of two U.S. regional banks in March shook investor confidence and set off fears over deposit safety after small banks shed $177.5 billion in deposits in March from the previous month, according to data from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

These lenders will be compelled to lift deposit rates to attract customers, analysts worry, raising costs of one of the cheapest sources of funding.
