Where allowance coverage of nonperforming loans is thinning

Institutions whose loss allowance is small relative to the nonperforming-loan balance they are carrying. Low coverage means future write-downs will erode capital directly rather than being absorbed by the allowance buffer.

Q2 202650 institutions
50 institutions held an allowance below the coverage threshold relative to their nonperforming-loan balance in Q2 2026. Top by rank: LOCAL 697 (IN, 3.4%), MIDFIRST BANK (OK, 3.5%), ENTERPRISE BANK (PA, 5.1%).

Methodology

Allowance coverage of nonperforming loans is an institution's loss allowance (Allowance for Credit Losses / ALLL) divided by its nonperforming-loan balance. Coverage below 100% means the existing reserve cannot fully absorb the problem loans already identified — further deterioration flows straight through earnings and capital. This card ranks banks and credit unions together, lowest coverage first, and surfaces the top 50 whose coverage is at or below 50% (0.5) and whose nonperforming loans total at least $1,000,000 — a floor that filters out small portfolios where tiny denominators produce noisy ratios. For banks (FDIC-insured): allowance — FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-R Part II item 6, Allowance for credit losses (RCFD3123 / RCON3123); nonperforming volume — Schedule RC-N line 9, 90+ days past due col B (RCFD1407 / RCON1407) plus nonaccrual col C (RCFD1403 / RCON1403). For credit unions: allowance for credit losses on loans and leases — NCUA ACCT_AS0048 (CECL), or ACCT_719 for credit unions not on CECL; 60+ days delinquent — NCUA ACCT_041B. Comparing banks with credit unions: bank "non-current" loans (90+ days past due or nonaccrual) and credit-union "60+ days delinquent" loans are the closest measures the two filings share, not exact equivalents. Methodology updated 2026-03-31: the bank nonperforming-loan figure now comes directly from FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-N. Earlier quarters used an approximation derived from BankFind ratios. Read the methodology update note at /blog/npl-explorer-fdic-cdr-direct-sourcing. Methodology updated 2026-09-27: credit-union allowances now come from the CECL account (ACCT_AS0048). Earlier snapshots read only ACCT_719, which CECL adopters report as zero, so they showed near-zero coverage for most credit unions. Methodology updated 2026-09-28: institutions that report no allowance are excluded. These are mostly U.S. branches of foreign banks, which hold loss reserves at the parent bank rather than in the branch. Banks holding large volumes of government-guaranteed mortgages (such as loans repurchased from Ginnie Mae pools) can rank low here because guaranteed loans need little allowance.
