Capacity. Not a rating
Our calculation from public filings, as of June 30, 2026. Not a rating, and not a statement about safety or deposits.
| Measure | This lender | Its peers | How it is worked out | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated largest single loan | $5.75M | $3.30M to $8.26M across 8 peers | Estimate: 15% of tier 1 capital plus allowance. A further 10% is allowed with readily marketable collateral, and state-chartered banks follow state limits. Not a limit the lender has stated. | FDIC call report, 12 CFR 32.3, Jun 30, 2026 |
| CRE to capital | 128.2% | 120.8% to 242.8% across 8 peers | (Construction + multifamily + non-owner-occupied CRE loans) divided by tier 1 capital plus allowance. | FDIC call report, |
| Construction to capital | 83.7% | 46.7% to 119.1% across 8 peers | Construction loans divided by tier 1 capital plus allowance. | FDIC call report, |
| Loans to deposits | 72.4% | 68.3% to 90.1% across 8 peers | Total loans divided by total deposits. | FDIC call report, |
| Unused CRE commitments | $8.16M | $2.70M to $31.2M across 8 peers | Commitments to lend on commercial real estate that are not yet drawn, up 23.4% from a year earlier. | FDIC call report, |
| Loans to assets | 65.2% | 61.5% to 78.5% across 8 peers | Total loans divided by total assets. | FDIC call report, |
Our calculation: construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential loans, divided by tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. It is not the test in the 2006 interagency guidance on commercial real estate concentrations (December 12, 2006; OCC Bulletin 2006-46, Federal Reserve SR 07-1). That guidance measures against total risk-based capital, also counts loans that finance commercial real estate but are not secured by real estate, and looks more closely when construction and land loans reach 100% of that capital, or commercial real estate loans reach 300% of it and have grown 50% or more in the prior 36 months. This figure uses a different capital base, leaves out the unsecured loans and applies no growth condition. The guidance sets no limit on lending. Not a rating, and not a statement about safety or deposits.
