Deposit insurance

FDIC insured

The standard deposit insurance limit of $250,000 applies per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category, meaning how an account is owned. The grade compares the bank with banks of similar size. It does not determine deposit insurance coverage.

FDIC institution record

Ratios behind the grade

The raw ratio and percentile, its position among reporting peers, are separate numbers. A higher percentile means a more favorable comparison with reporting institutions of the same type and similar size. It accounts for each ratio’s direction, rather than indicating a larger raw ratio or a personal insurance percentage.

Deposits above the insured limit

18.3%
Peer percentile86.4 / 100

18.3 percent of deposits exceed the FDIC insurance limit, better than 86.4 percent of banks with $1 billion to $10 billion in assets. A lower uninsured share means less depositor money could face losses if the institution closes.

Unrealized bond losses vs equity

0.0%
Peer percentile70.4 / 100

0.0 percent of equity is the gap between recorded and current market values of bonds intended to be held to maturity, with negative gaps shown as zero. 70.4 percent of similar banks have a larger gap, and this paper loss becomes real only if the bonds are sold before maturity.

Commercial real estate vs capital

261.0%

Basis: total risk-based capital

Peer percentile33.9 / 100

Commercial real estate loans equal 261.0 percent of total risk-based capital, covering construction, non-owner-occupied commercial and multifamily loans but excluding owner-occupied property; the ratio can exceed 100 percent. 33.9 percent of similar banks have a higher concentration; losses in one lending type can affect more of the bank’s finances at once.

Problem loans vs capital (Texas ratio)

4.4%
Peer percentile42.3 / 100

The Texas ratio is 4.4 percent, comparing seriously overdue loans and foreclosed real estate with equity and funds set aside for loan losses. This is better than 42.3 percent of similar banks.

Core capital vs assets

12.4%
Peer percentile80.8 / 100

12.4 percent of total assets is tier 1 capital, meaning funds provided by the bank’s owners rather than deposits and borrowings. Its core capital ratio is better than 80.8 percent of similar banks, providing a larger cushion to absorb losses before depositors are affected.

Brokered deposits

10.0%
Peer percentile20.2 / 100

Brokered deposits, gathered through third-party deposit brokers, make up 10.0 percent of total deposits and are sensitive to interest rates. 20.2 percent of similar banks have a higher share, though some banks use this funding deliberately.

Return on assets

1.45%
Peer percentile66.0 / 100

Return on assets is 1.45 percent, measuring annualized net income as a share of average assets. This return is better than 66.0 percent of similar institutions, while profits add to capital and losses reduce it.
