The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s BankFind and Call Reports data. Quarterly Call Report financials for every FDIC-insured bank in the US (~4,500 institutions), plus failed bank lists, branch maps, and supervisory designations. Free, no auth.

Why this matters for AI agents

For bank-level due diligence, deposit-flight risk monitoring, or “is this regional bank in trouble?” questions, FDIC Call Report data is the source. It’s how the FDIC and Fed themselves measure bank health: capital ratios, loan delinquencies, deposit composition, asset quality.

Common flows:

• Bank lookup. Find a specific institution by name or RSSD ID, get its key financials.
• Health snapshot. Capital adequacy ratios (Tier 1, leverage), nonperforming loan rates, allowance coverage, asset/deposit growth.
• Regional / sector aggregation. Aggregate by state, asset size class, or business model (community, regional, money-center).
• Failure / merger history. Search the FDIC’s failed bank list (since 2000) for context on regional patterns.

Used by the fintech_bank_health_check compound.

Auth

None. FDIC’s BankFind and Call Report APIs are fully public, free, no key.

Update cadence

Banks file Call Reports quarterly with a regulatory deadline of ~30 days after quarter-end. Public release follows within a few additional weeks. So Q1 data publicly visible by mid-May, Q2 by mid-August, etc. Pipeworx caches with TTLs aligned to release windows.

Bank identifiers

For cross-source linking (Fed + FDIC + OCC), RSSD ID is the canonical key. Use it whenever you have a choice.

Common pitfalls

• Call Report consolidation level. Reports come at the bank-holding-company (BHC) level OR the individual-bank level. They don’t aggregate cleanly — totals at one level can differ from sums at the other due to inter-affiliate transactions.
• Non-FDIC institutions. Credit unions are NCUA-regulated, not FDIC. They don’t appear here. Investment banks (without an insured depository subsidiary) also don’t.
• Failed banks vs. unwound banks. FDIC failure list = formal receivership. Other institutions exit the industry via voluntary liquidation, merger, or charter conversion — those don’t appear as “failed.”
• Capital ratio interpretation. A bank’s Tier 1 ratio of 11% is fine in normal times but stretched if loan losses spike. Look at trend, not just snapshot.
• Deposit concentration. “Uninsured deposits” (>$250k) is a critical risk metric. Find it in the call report; raw “total deposits” alone misses the deposit-flight-risk story (cf. SVB).
