Ratios behind the grade

Deposits above the insured limit

19.5%
Percentile83.9

19.5 percent of deposits exceed the FDIC insurance limit, better than 83.9 percent of banks over $100 billion in assets. A lower uninsured share means less depositor money could face losses if the institution closes.

24.6%
Percentile9.7

24.6 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. 9.7 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

40.2%
