Scores from 0 to 100 compare banks within separate groups based on total assets. The state lists sort these scores; “Safest” is not an absolute ranking of risk or a recommendation. Trust institutions, which manage assets for others, and banks that do not lend remain included. Their business models can affect reported ratios.
