Bank of the Rockies (FDIC cert 2205) is a community bank — $252M in total assets, $203M in deposits, serving the Helena, Montana area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.

Capital position is adequate: Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.45% meets the 8% well-capitalized threshold but does not provide substantial buffer above it. Adequate capital is regulatory-acceptable but leaves less room for absorbing unexpected losses. Asset quality is clean: non-performing loan ratio of 0.22% 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: 22.1% liquid assets relative to total assets — adequate for standard operating needs and routine deposit outflows.

Profitability is solid: ROA of 1.38% sits at or near the 1% benchmark for healthy U.S. banks. Net interest income, fee income, and operating efficiency are all in workable shape. Health-score trend is mildly negative across recent quarters. Mild declines can reflect either specific quarterly events (large one-time provisions, deposit shifts) or the early stages of broader pressure. Bank of the Rockies carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (79/100) 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.
