Updated June 2026 · FDIC Call Report Q2 2024

Small Banks

623 U.S. banks fit the small banks definition, holding $37.1B in combined assets. The cohort posts an average Bank Health Score of 83/100, with a Tier 1 capital ratio averaging 30.35% and an NPL ratio of 0.93%.

What Defines This Tier

Small banks — under $100 million in assets — are the long tail of U.S. banking: thrifts, savings institutions, and tiny community banks often serving rural or specialized populations. Many qualify for the simplified Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework. Because their balance sheets are concentrated and their capital base is small in absolute terms, even modest credit shocks can move ratios materially quarter-to-quarter — but they also tend to run conservatively, with high capital ratios and low leverage.

Strengths and Risks in This Tier

Strengths in this tier: extremely conservative balance sheets, very high capital ratios (often well into the teens), and direct accountability to local depositors. Their small absolute size makes them easier to supervise and easier to resolve cleanly if needed.

Risks to watch: extreme loan concentration (a few large credits dominating the book), lack of diversification across product lines, and key-person risk in management. The flip side of conservative balance sheets is that small banks have less margin to absorb a single bad credit. Earnings can also be lumpy quarter-to-quarter from a single loan-loss provision.

For depositors: FDIC insurance protects deposits up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category — the same coverage at any FDIC-insured institution regardless of size. The Bank Health Score is a relative ranking of regulatory cushion, not a guarantee. Confirm coverage limits directly at FDIC.gov before making changes.

How These Scores Are Calculated

Every bank in this list earns a Bank Health Score from four FDIC Call Report inputs: Tier 1 capital ratio (35%), nonperforming-loan ratio inverted (30%), liquidity ratio (25%), and return on assets (10%). Data flows from the FDIC BankFind API and the FFIEC Call Report archive. Read the full methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a "small banks" bank?

Banks with under $100M in assets, the smallest FDIC-insured institutions. The FDIC and federal regulators draw size lines based on consolidated total assets reported on the quarterly Call Report. Currently 623 institutions fit this definition.

What is the average health score for small banks?

Across 623 institutions in the Small Banks tier, the average Bank Health Score is 83/100 — squarely in A territory and stronger than the industry median. The tier as a whole is well-capitalized, with low loan losses and ample liquidity. A-graded banks: 420. B-graded: 144. D or F-graded: 11.

What are the typical strengths of banks in this tier?

Strengths in this tier: extremely conservative balance sheets, very high capital ratios (often well into the teens), and direct accountability to local depositors. Their small absolute size makes them easier to supervise and easier to resolve cleanly if needed.

What should I watch for when reviewing a bank in this tier?

Risks to watch: extreme loan concentration (a few large credits dominating the book), lack of diversification across product lines, and key-person risk in management. The flip side of conservative balance sheets is that small banks have less margin to absorb a single bad credit. Earnings can also be lumpy quarter-to-quarter from a single loan-loss provision.

Are deposits at small banks insured the same way?

Yes. FDIC deposit insurance is identical at every FDIC-insured institution regardless of size — $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category. Verify your bank's FDIC status and your specific coverage at FDIC.gov.
