Values are as filed. NA means the line is not applicable to this filer or was not reported for the quarter; it never means zero. Uninsured deposits are the bank's own estimate and are reported only by banks with $1 billion or more in assets. Banks that use the community bank leverage ratio do not report risk-based capital, so those headroom rows are NA for them. Capital headroom is the filed ratio less the regulatory minimum, in percentage points. The asset-tier median is the median for the 127 banks with total assets of $10 billion to $100 billion in 2026Q2, this bank included; it is NA where fewer than 5 of them report the line or the line is not yet benchmarked. Ratio changes are in basis points (bp) or percentage points (pp); dollar changes are in percent.
