Texas Banks: Highest Auto Loan Charge-Offs
American Bank, N.A. has the highest auto loan net charge-off rate of the 13 ranked banks headquartered in Texas, at 6.74% as of September 30, 2026. The median among the 13 ranked Texas banks is 0.18%, against 0.39% for all US banks. That top value sits far outside the middle half of ranked banks (0.13% to 0.59%). A rate this far from the middle usually comes from a few large problem loans or from lending to borrowers with lower credit scores, so read it beside the bank's dollar amounts and its trend.

Which banks are ranked
This list ranks the 13 banks headquartered in Texas that meet every rule below, using each bank's latest FFIEC call report (data as of September 30, 2026).
- Banks with at least $100M in total assets, so a ratio on a very small balance sheet cannot lead the list.
- Banks with at least $25M in automobile loans, so a rate on a few loans cannot lead the list.
- Lending institutions only: charters with loans under 5% of assets, mostly trust and custody banks, are not ranked.
- Charters the regulator has closed, merged or converted are excluded.
- Each bank charter ranks on its own; holding companies are not combined.
What moves the auto loan net charge-off rate
Auto charge-offs rise when borrowers fall behind and the repossessed vehicle sells for less than the loan balance, so used-car prices matter as much as borrower credit. Lenders that buy loans through dealers, lend to borrowers with lower credit scores or offer long terms run higher rates. The rate is net of what the bank recovers from selling repossessed cars, so a fall in used-car prices can raise it even when delinquency is flat.
