Bank of Western Oklahoma (FDIC cert 4087) is a community bank — $385M in total assets, $348M in deposits, serving the Elk City, Oklahoma 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 10.91% 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 elevated: non-performing loan ratio of 2.43% 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 thin: 14.6% liquid-asset ratio. Banks with thin liquidity buffers can face stress during deposit-outflow events or asset-quality shocks.

Profitability is strong: return on assets of 2.95% 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 of Western Oklahoma carries a composite BankHealth grade of C (59/100) 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.
