Prime Meridian Bank (FDIC cert 58694) is a community bank — $893M in total assets, $792M in deposits, serving the Tallahassee, Florida 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 13.29% 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 0.44% 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: 15.2% liquid assets relative to total assets — adequate for standard operating needs and routine deposit outflows.

Profitability is solid: ROA of 1.19% sits at or near the 1% benchmark for healthy U.S. banks. Net interest income, fee income, and operating efficiency are all in workable shape. 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. Prime Meridian Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (75/100) 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.
