Side-by-side comparison

Sterling Bank beside its official FFIEC UBPR peers

FFIEC averages are the regulator-published values after excluding the top and bottom 5%. Where the registered metric formula differs from UBPR, the comparison uses the median of reported registry values within the official FFIEC membership and labels it accordingly. Neither basis rates, ranks, or predicts the bank. Missing values remain Not reported.

Expanded distributions use the site’s registered Call Report formula; a displayed FFIEC percentile is used only where the formulas align.
