Ohio Banks: Highest Credit Card Charge-Offs
First Financial Bank has the highest credit card net charge-off rate of the 6 ranked banks headquartered in Ohio, at 7.44% as of September 30, 2026. The median among the 6 ranked Ohio banks is 3.45%, against 3.72% for all US banks. That top value sits far outside the middle half of ranked banks (3.30% to 3.76%). 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 6 banks headquartered in Ohio 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 credit card 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 credit card net charge-off rate
Card charge-offs follow delinquency by about six months, because a card balance must be written off once it is 180 days past due. They run far above other loan types because the loans are unsecured, so several percent a year is normal for a large issuer. Issuers that serve borrowers with lower credit scores, and small banks that run a partner card program, can run well above that. Recoveries from collections and debt sales lower the net figure.
