Eastern Bank: Efficiency Ratio
Data as of · sourced from FFIEC call reports. How we update
Eastern Bank reported an efficiency ratio of 48.91% as of Q2 2026, ranking #699 of 3,608 U.S. banks (81st percentile). That is down 1.92 percentage points from 50.82% a year earlier, and below the 53.45% median of the 122 Regional Banks ($10B–$100B in assets). The efficiency ratio measures non-interest operating expense against net revenue. A lower ratio means the bank converts more of each revenue dollar into pre-tax income.

National Context
What is the Efficiency Ratio?
A bank's efficiency ratio is its noninterest expense divided by its revenue, net interest income plus noninterest income. It shows how many cents the bank spends to earn each dollar of revenue, so a lower ratio is better.
Compare banks of similar size and business model. Very small banks rarely run below 60% because fixed costs are spread over less revenue, and fee-heavy banks with trust or mortgage businesses carry higher expense against their revenue. The trend matters as much as the level: a rising ratio means expenses are growing faster than revenue. A very low ratio can also mean underinvestment in staff or systems.
