Headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, the bank maintains a Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.06% (Well-Capitalized) and a nonperforming loan ratio of 0.11%.

Commencement Bank (FDIC cert 58446) is a community bank — $597M in total assets, $535M in deposits, serving the Tacoma, Washington area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.

Capital position is strong: Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.06% sits comfortably above the 8% well-capitalized regulatory threshold and the 10% well-capitalized-plus floor for community banks. Strong capital is the first line of defense against unexpected loan losses. Asset quality is clean: non-performing loan ratio of 0.11% 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: 17.3% liquid assets relative to total assets — adequate for standard operating needs and routine deposit outflows.

Profitability is thin: ROA of 0.60% runs below the 1% benchmark. Thin margins can reflect cyclical net-interest-margin pressure, elevated provisions for loan losses, or operating-cost inefficiency. 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. Commencement Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (73/100) 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.
