Warning flags
These are factual readings from FDIC fields. A flag is a reason to read the number, not a finding that the bank is unsafe.
- Uninsured deposits are at least half of depositsFDIC's estimated uninsured deposits were $15,542,933,000, which is 52.0% of total deposits ($29,883,644,000). We flag this at half. That is a reading aid on this site, not an FDIC limit. The uninsured figure is an estimate for domestic offices, so it will not always match total deposits exactly.
Held-to-maturity unrealized losses are not flagged. The FDIC file does not publish a held-to-maturity cost that we can subtract from fair value without guessing.
