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 | $310M | $84.6M to $530M 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 | 340.3% | 0.0% to 309.4% across 8 peers | (Construction + multifamily + non-owner-occupied CRE loans) divided by tier 1 capital plus allowance. | FDIC call report, |
| Construction to capital | 16.9% | 0.0% to 52.8% across 8 peers | Construction loans divided by tier 1 capital plus allowance. | FDIC call report, |
| Loans to deposits | 75.1% | 73.2% to 100.5% across 8 peers | Total loans divided by total deposits. | FDIC call report, |
| Unused CRE commitments | $352M | $0 to $1.65B across 8 peers | Commitments to lend on commercial real estate that are not yet drawn, up 40.9% from a year earlier. | FDIC call report, |
| Loans to assets | 63.9% | 56.7% to 86.5% 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.
Loan channel and SBA processing
Public record only
- Of 100 multifamily loans with a known channel in 2024 to 2025, 53 (53.0%) came through a third party. HMDA,
Third party includes correspondents as well as brokers. No figure here means no evidence, not a refusal.

- Whether it is taking new loans today, or on what terms.
- How much of its book it made recently. Call reports carry balances, not loans made.
- Which of its commercial real estate is office, retail, industrial or hotel. Call reports do not split the book by property type.
- How its 1-4 family loans divide between owner-occupied and investor.
- Whether it takes brokers on any given deal. The public record shows only that some loans came through a third party.

- FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 30, 2026
Figures come from public records and show the source and date beside them. Public records can be late, incomplete or wrong. A past loan does not mean a lender will make the same kind of loan today. Confirm anything important with the lender.
See something wrong? Write to desk@lender.report or use the correction form. We reply within 2 business days and fix confirmed errors within 10. We correct our own mistakes at once. Where the public record itself is wrong, we show the lender's correction beside it and tell you how to ask the agency to fix the source. Correction form. Names identify institutions and imply no affiliation.
We publish data about lenders and sell advertising. We are not a bank or lender, and we do not make credit decisions, take applications, negotiate terms or arrange loans through this site. Using this site creates no broker, advisory or fiduciary relationship. Commercial-purpose loans only. Nothing here is an offer to lend or a promise that any lender will offer you a loan.
