Automated conditions triggered on this bank's latest filing. Advisory only; see the source metric pages for full context. Each flag is tagged Regulatory when it cites an official supervisory threshold, or BRR analysis when it's our own band, informed by our data and models.
Loans outstanding are at or above total deposits. The bank reports little borrowing or brokered funding, so the difference is carried mainly by equity and other liabilities. Worth watching if loan growth continues to outpace deposits. Industry heuristic, not a supervisory threshold.
Commercial real estate loans are between 200% and 300% of total capital. The 200% line is a BankRegReports watch band, not a supervisory threshold; the 2006 interagency guidance level is 300%. BankRegReports early-warning band below the 300% guidance.
