Bank of China (FDIC cert 33653) is a large bank with $41.3B in total assets and $19.5B in deposits, headquartered in New York, New York. Banks at this scale typically operate across multiple states and face enhanced regulatory scrutiny under the federal banking-supervisory framework.

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 elevated: non-performing loan ratio of 3.00% runs above 2%, suggesting the loan book carries more credit risk than peer banks. Elevated NPL can reflect specific portfolio concentrations or broader credit-cycle pressure. Liquidity is very high: 60.4% of assets in liquid form, well above peer norms. Very high liquidity sometimes reflects a bank still building out its loan portfolio or one operating under specific regulatory liquidity requirements.

Profitability is minimal: ROA of 0.00% indicates the bank is barely profitable on an assets basis. Multiple quarters of minimal profitability eventually challenge capital growth and regulatory standing. 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 of China carries a composite BankHealth grade of D (39/100) 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.
