Data as of · sourced from FFIEC call reports. How we update
This bank has more than $10 billion in assets. The score covers every FDIC-insured bank in the latest run, but the model was trained on community and regional banks and its accuracy above roughly $10 billion in assets is not established, so a low score is not evidence of safety. The page therefore shows no score or tier for it.
