Banks with the steepest multi-quarter rise in 1-4 family — 1st lien charge-offs

Banks whose category-specific charge-off rate is rising fastest over the trailing two years, measured by linear-regression slope of the year-to-date charge-off ratio. Acceleration in charge-offs is a leading indicator of credit-portfolio deterioration that typically precedes nonperforming-loan ratio spikes by one to three quarters.

Q4 202525 institutions
In Q4 2025, 25 institutions reported charge-offs in the 1-4 family — 1st lien category. COLONIAL SAVINGS FA in TX led with a charge-off ratio of 931.2%, rising +77.0 per quarter, while SCRIBNER BANK in NE and INFINITY BANK in CA posted 14.4% and 10.1% respectively.

Methodology

This card ranks banks whose trailing two-year trend slope of category-specific year-to-date charge-off ratio meets or exceeds 0.001 per quarter (approximately 0.4 percentage points per year of rising charge-off velocity). The ratio is computed inline as charge_off_volume_ytd divided by loan_balance per (institution, quarter, category). The slope is then computed via Postgres regr_slope() over up to eight quarter-end observations within the trailing two-year window (t in quarter units; y = decimal charge-off ratio). Banks with fewer than two observations are excluded by regr_slope null-handling. Field sources: FFIEC Call Report Schedule RI-B Part I per-category charge-off codes (RIAD4635 family at the institution-total level; RIADC234, RIADC235, RIAD5411, RIAD3588, RIADC895, RIADC897, RIADC891, RIADC893, RIAD4638, RIADB514 / RIADK129 / RIADK205 for individual leaves; all pinned in lib/call-report/cdr-fields.js). Per-category charge-off volume is stored in call_report_metrics_by_category.charge_off_volume_ytd with source='fdic_cdr'; loan_balance in the same row provides the denominator. Acceleration in charge-offs typically precedes nonperforming-loan ratio spikes by one to three quarters; this card surfaces the leading-edge signal. Categories below ten qualifying banks per quarter render no landing (compute-cards skips snapshot generation; route returns 404 per spec § Empty-category filter).
