What every field in the lender record means, its unit, and the filing field it comes from. Call report fields are as of June 30, 2026.

By Research desk, The Lender Report · Updated November 8, 2026

How to read the numbers

  • Money is whole US dollars. Percentages are on a 0 to 100 scale.
  • Dates are year, month and day. A quarter is named by its last day.
  • Null means not reported by the source. Zero means the source said zero. We never treat one as the other.
  • Bank balances are what is held. Loans made come only from HMDA and SBA files, and from credit unions' own originations.
  • HMDA carries a year, never a date. HMDA amounts are the midpoint of a $10,000 band.
  • SBA figures count loans by SBA approval date. Net figures leave out those later cancelled.
  • Legal lending limit and member business loan figures are estimates, computed by the formulas on the methodology page.
  • Credit union concentration ratios use net worth, so they cannot be compared to the bank figure.

The lender record

The fields on each lender's page and in the API and MCP answer.

Fields in the lender record
FieldTypeWhat it means
lr_idstringThe public identifier
slugstringThe lender's permanent URL slug. It never changes, even if the lender is renamed.
namestringClean display name. ALL CAPS fixed, stray spacing and encoding artifacts fixed, nothing invented. NCUA omits the words "Credit Union" from most names, so when the regulator name lacks them, " Credit Union" is appended. "Federal" is never added.
legal_namestringThe name exactly as the source filed it
aliasesstring[]Trade names, and other names the same lender files under in HMDA, SBA or merged rows
type, type_labelstringbank, savings, credit_union, nonbank, depository_inactive
subtypestring or nullcdc for an SBA Certified Development Company, mortgage_subsidiary for a bank-owned mortgage company, otherwise null
status, status_detailstringactive, no_2026_call_report (no June 2026 call report on file), or inactive_since_report (filed June 2026, ended in FDIC records afterward)
page_staterich: two or more kinds of loan evidence. some: one kind. balances_only: book balances or nothing.
idsobject{fdic_cert, ncua_charter, rssd, lei, other_leis[]} strings or null. A depository_inactive row carries the cert or charter of the institution it was tied to, when known. lei and other_leis are LEIs that GLEIF's registry id (the FDIC certificate or NCUA charter it registers the LEI under) or the lender's name and state confirm; an LEI never appears on two lenders, and FDIC's own LEI field is used only when it passes the same check. A lender with no confirmed LEI has lei null
regulatorobject{code, label}
regulator_urlstring or nullFDIC BankFind or NCUA profile
hqobject{address, city, state, zip, phone, phone_source, website}. Credit unions: phone is the NCUA record and phone_source is null. Banks and savings institutions: phone is the main number read from the lender's own website and phone_source is {url, retrieved, method, kind, label}: url the page it was read from, retrieved the date (YYYY-MM-DD), method one of home_tel_link, home_structured_data, home_labeled_text, contact_tel_link, contact_structured_data, contact_labeled_text, kind always lender_site, label the words to print ("From the lender's website"). FDIC publishes no phone, so a bank whose site did not give an unambiguous main number has phone null and phone_source null.
holding_companyobject or null{name, legal_name}
establishedobject{date, year}. Either can be null
balance_sheetobjectAssets, loans, deposits, equity or net worth, and for banks tier 1 capital and allowance, with the as-of date.
book, book_as_of, book_totalsobjectBalances held by category with year-over-year change. Bank balances are what is held, not loans made.
loans_madeHMDA multifamily and investor, SBA 7(a) and 504, and credit union originations, each as counts and medians with period and source.
capacityobjectConcentration ratios and size estimates. Our arithmetic from filings, not a rating and not a statement about safety.
officesobjectOffice count and states, from the FDIC or NCUA office files.
flagsobjectRules of thumb on public data, such as multifamily or construction. Not statements from the lender.
peersarray
factsarrayOne-sentence statements with source and date, safe to quote.
notesstring[]Caveats specific to this lender. Plain sentences for a reader; no file names
signalsobjectSBA processing and channel signals from public files, published only for cells of 5 or more.
affiliationsobject
evidence_kindsobjectWhich public records show this lender making loans: book, HMDA, SBA, credit union originations, FHA, CMBS.
loan_sizesobjectReported loan-size buckets and medians, where filings carry them. Full access only.
statesarrayEvery state where the lender has an office or recorded loans.
top_counties, top_metros, top_naicsarrayMarkets and industries with cells of 5 or more only.
recent_loansarrayUp to 25 recorded loans, coarsened as described on the methodology page.
timelinearrayPlain sentences about changes over time, each with source and date.
historyarrayBook by quarter, up to 12 quarters, oldest first. Quarters not filed are absent.
source, as_of, cite_as, license, is_paid, labelOn every record from the API and MCP server: its source and date, a ready citation, the license line, and whether any lender paid to change what is shown.

Our own ratio, not the 2006 interagency guidance test. That guidance (December 12, 2006; banks only) divides by total risk-based capital (Call Report Schedule RC-R), also counts loans that finance commercial real estate but are not secured by real estate (Schedule RC-C Memorandum item 3), and its 300% criterion applies only with 50% or more growth in commercial real estate loans over the prior 36 months. This figure uses a different capital base, leaves out those unsecured loans and applies no growth condition. The guidance sets no limit on lending
Construction concentration%Derivedconstruction / same denominator (tier 1 capital + allowance for banks, net worth for credit unions). Our own ratio, not the 2006 interagency guidance test, which compares construction, land development and other land loans (Schedule RC-C item 1a) with total risk-based capital at 100%.
