Methodology & disclaimer
This safety analysis is generated from the bank's most recent quarterly FFIEC call report and UBPR filings, evaluated against published supervisory thresholds (Prompt Corrective Action capital tiers, supervisory NPL bands, and the Texas Ratio historical failure threshold). Peer-tier averages reflect every FDIC-insured bank in the same asset-size cohort; industry averages span the full set of FDIC-insured commercial banks. ML failure-probability output is a model estimate, not a credit rating. This page is not investment advice and is not a substitute for professional analysis. FDIC insurance covers deposits up to $250,000 per depositor per ownership category at any FDIC-insured bank — including this one — regardless of the bank's safety profile.
