Banks in Los Angeles, California

19 FDIC-insured banks call Los Angeles home, with $214.1B in combined assets. The local cohort posts an average Bank Health Score of 81/100 against a Tier 1 capital ratio of 34.76% and an NPL ratio of 0.50%.

Los Angeles, California hosts 19 FDIC-insured banks headquartered locally, with an average BankHealth composite score of 81/100. The largest local bank by assets is Deutsche Bank National Tr Co. City-level banking concentration reflects historical headquarters geography. Many U.S. cities host community banks chartered specifically for local commercial-lending needs, alongside branch operations of national banks that don't appear in the headquartered-here count.

For local depositors, the BankHealth grade is most useful as a triage signal across the locally-headquartered options. Branch-only banks (headquartered elsewhere) appear on the per-bank pages of their parent institution rather than on this city page.

For Los Angeles Depositors

FDIC insurance protects deposits at every bank on this list up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category — identical coverage regardless of where the bank is located or how it scores on this page. The Bank Health Score is a relative ranking of regulatory cushion, not a guarantee of safety. Confirm your bank's FDIC status and your specific coverage at FDIC.gov before making decisions.

For depositors who hold combined balances above $250,000 across multiple accounts at a single bank, the FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) calculates exactly which dollars are insured. Account titling — joint, individual, retirement — affects coverage. Federal regulators publishing rules at the OCC and the FDIC update guidance periodically; FDIC.gov is the authoritative source.

How These Scores Are Calculated

Every bank on this page earns a Bank Health Score from four FDIC Call Report inputs: Tier 1 capital ratio (35%), NPL ratio inverted (30%), liquidity ratio (25%), and return on assets (10%). The composite is reported as a 0–100 score and an A–F letter grade. Data flows from the FDIC BankFind API and the FFIEC Call Report archive. Read the full methodology.
