Data as of · peers are US banks in the same asset tier. How we update

This page benchmarks Universal Bank of West Covina, CA against its peer group of 2757 similarly-sized US banks as of Q2 2026. For each metric the bank's value is shown next to the peer-group average and the bank's percentile rank and quartile within the cohort, the same peer-benchmarking regulators use to judge whether a bank is an outlier. Top quartile means the bank ranks in the strongest 25% of its peers on that measure.

How to read the two peer columns: Peer avg is the simple mean of the peer group. The percentile is the share of peers this bank outperforms, and the tag beside it compares the bank with the median peer: above means the bank is in the better half, top means the best quarter. A skewed group can pull the mean away from the median, so a bank can sit behind the peer average and still rank above the median peer.
