First Exchange Bank

White Hall, West Virginia · FDIC Cert #13020

This is the FDIC profile for First Exchange Bank, an FDIC-insured bank (Certificate #13020) with $387M in total assets and $340M in total deposits per its most recent FDIC Call Report filing (Q2 2024). Headquartered in White Hall, West Virginia, the bank maintains a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.66% (Well-Capitalized) and a nonperforming loan ratio of 0.83%. BankHealthData assigns a composite Health Grade of C (58/100) based on quarterly FDIC filings. All deposits up to $250,000 per depositor per ownership category are FDIC insured.

First Exchange Bank (FDIC cert 13020) is a community bank — $387M in total assets, $340M in deposits, serving the White Hall, West Virginia 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 8.66% 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 normal: non-performing loan ratio of 0.83% sits in the typical 0.5-2% range for healthy U.S. banks. Some NPL is unavoidable in any meaningful lending portfolio. Liquidity is in the normal range: 16.2% liquid assets relative to total assets — adequate for standard operating needs and routine deposit outflows.

Profitability is thin: ROA of 0.55% 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 mildly positive across the recent-quarters window. The directional signal is favorable but not dramatic. First Exchange Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of C (58/100) 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.
