Uniform Bank Performance Reports (UBPR)

Uniform Bank Performance Reports (UBPR) are now available in electronic format through the FFIEC website at www.ffiec.gov. UBPRs for all commercial banks and FDIC insured savings banks are available at no charge when they are obtained from the website. The UBPR is a financial analysis tool used by federal and state bank supervisors and the banking industry. By making the UBPR available on line, the FFIEC intends to expand public access to financial information about banks.

UBPRs are available on the website for all commercial and FDIC insured savings banks that are currently in operation as well as any that closed in the last five years. The financial information available spans 5 years and includes 20 consecutive quarters of data. The website offers several features for easy identification of specific institutions. All UBPR pages may be viewed, printed or downloaded. Definitional questions may be answered by using the online copy of The Users Guide for the UBPR.

Individual printed copies of the UBPR will continue to be sent to banks each quarter. The general public may for a fee obtain printed copies of the UBPR and related reports by calling 1-800-945-2186.

Questions, comments or suggestions about the online UBPR are welcome and may be sent to the FFIEC via e-mail.
