Liberty State Bank (FDIC cert 17096) is a community bank — $133M in total assets, $119M in deposits, serving the Powers Lake, North Dakota 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 13.87% 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 0.00% 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 very high: 54.3% 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 strong: return on assets of 1.56% 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 mildly positive across the recent-quarters window. The directional signal is favorable but not dramatic. Liberty State Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of A (95/100) 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.
