Northwest Bank of Rockford (FDIC cert 20666) is a community bank — $434M in total assets, $371M in deposits, serving the Rockford, Illinois 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 9.39% 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 3.62% 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 in the normal range: 19.5% liquid assets relative to total assets — adequate for standard operating needs and routine deposit outflows.

Profitability is strong: return on assets of 1.57% 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. Northwest Bank of Rockford carries a composite BankHealth grade of C (51/100) 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.
