Data as of · peers are US banks in the same asset tier. How we update
This page benchmarks The Peoples Bank of Chestertown, MD against its peer group of 2731 similarly-sized US banks as of Q3 2025. The peer group is every US bank in the same asset tier (banks with $100M to $1B in assets). The credit quality page compares against a shorter list, the 10 nearest banks by size in the same tier, so its peer medians can differ from the ones here. For each metric the bank's value is shown next to the peer-group median and the bank's percentile within the group, the same peer-benchmarking regulators use to judge whether a bank is an outlier. Best quarter means the bank is among the strongest 25% of its peers on that measure.
How to read the peer columns: Peer median is the middle bank of the peer group. The percentile is the share of the other banks in the group with a lower value, so a high percentile is good for return on assets and bad for the efficiency ratio. The tag says which it is: better half or worse half, with the best and worst quarters marked. Measures with no better direction, such as loans to deposits and growth, carry no tag.
