Bank Northwest (FDIC cert 16601) is a community bank — $206M in total assets, $175M in deposits, serving the Hamilton, Missouri area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.

Tier 1 capital ratio is not disclosed in the most recent Call Report — unusual but possible for new institutions or those filing under specific regulatory exemptions. Asset quality is clean: non-performing loan ratio of 0.09% is below 0.5% — well within the healthy range for U.S. community and regional banks. Clean NPL ratios reflect either disciplined underwriting, a low-credit-risk loan mix, or both. Liquidity is in the normal range: 15.3% liquid assets relative to total assets — adequate for standard operating needs and routine deposit outflows.

Profitability is strong: return on assets of 2.81% is well above the 1.0% benchmark most analysts use as the threshold for a healthy bank. Strong ROA usually reflects disciplined cost management, healthy net interest margins, or both. Health-score trend is declining materially over the most recent quarters. Declining trends warrant attention — banks in this pattern often face follow-on regulatory engagement and elevated supervisory scrutiny. Bank Northwest carries a composite BankHealth grade of C (50/100) as of the 2024-06 Call Report filing. The grade combines capital ratios (Tier 1), asset quality (non-performing loans), liquidity, and profitability into a single signal.
