half

Indeed, Kuhlmann says its customer-attrition rates are half that of other banks, but rising rates will "put that to the test."

Выражение half that of other banks - означает ли оно, что темпы потери клиентов НАПОЛОВИНУ МЕНЬШЕ, чем в других банках? (т.е. составляют половину потерь клиентов в других банках?) Правильно ли я понимаю?

Весь контекст:
Rising short-term interest rates present another hurdle, even though they're likely to attract more customers. Because long-term rates aren't climbing at the same pace, income from ING's loans and investments, mostly in mortgage securities, won't rise as fast, squeezing the bank's already tight profit margins. Many large banks delay hiking the rates they pay on deposits to get more mileage out of rate spreads, but online banks don't have that luxury, says Eric Reinford, an analyst at SNL. Indeed, Kuhlmann says its customer-attrition rates are half that of other banks, but rising rates will "put that to the test."

Заранее спасибо.

Да. Дословно: "составляют половину от этого показателя у других банков".
