Institutions running below well-capitalized capital thresholds

Institutions that tripped a regulatory capital-pressure flag this quarter. Banks raise the flag when Tier 1 leverage drops below 5% or total risk-based capital drops below 10%; credit unions raise it when the net worth ratio drops below 7%. Within flagged institutions, those running well above their size-cohort peer median on nonperforming loans surface first.

Methodology

Banks (FDIC-insured) are flagged when the Tier 1 leverage ratio drops below 5% OR the total risk-based capital ratio drops below 10%. Credit unions (NCUA-chartered) are flagged when the net worth ratio drops below 7% (the NCUA "well capitalized" line). Flagged institutions are then ranked by how far their nonperforming-loan ratio sits above the median for their size cohort. For banks: Tier 1 leverage ratio — FDIC BankFind RBC1AAJ; total risk-based capital ratio — FDIC BankFind RBCRWAJ. Capital ratios still come from BankFind; only the nonperforming-loan figures moved to direct call-report sourcing. Bank nonperforming-loan ratio: numerator — FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-N line 9, 90+ days past due col B (RCFD1407 / RCON1407) plus nonaccrual col C (RCFD1403 / RCON1403); denominator — Schedule RC-C line 12 total loans (RCFD2122 / RCON2122). For credit unions: net worth ratio — NCUA ACCT_998 (reported in hundredths of a percent and converted to a percentage). Credit-union delinquency ratio — NCUA ACCT_041B divided by total loans, ACCT_025B. Comparing banks with credit unions: the capital flag uses different regulatory thresholds for each (Tier 1 / total risk-based capital for banks, net worth ratio for credit unions). The peer ranking compares bank "non-current" loans (90+ days past due or nonaccrual) with credit-union "60+ days delinquent" loans — the closest measures the two filings share, not exact equivalents. Methodology updated 2026-03-31: the bank nonperforming-loan figures used in the peer ranking now come directly from FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-N rather than an approximation derived from BankFind ratios. The capital-flag thresholds (5%, 10%, 7%) are unchanged. Read the methodology update note at /blog/npl-explorer-fdic-cdr-direct-sourcing.
