INTRODUCTION |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Historical Statistics on Banking (HSOB) is intended to be a reference and source document for those interested in banking history and in performing analyses on major trends in banking. It contains both structure and financial data on insured commercial banks and savings institutions from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's inception in 1934 to the present as well as bank failures and assistance transactions. Its primary goal is to provide comprehensive industry data about FDIC-insured depository institutions. In addition to the HSOB, the FDIC offers other products that may provide more detail and analysis for current and historical data. These products include data for individual institutions, summary level data and peer group analysis. These products can be found under the Bank Data and Statistics or the Research and Analysis pages on the FDIC's web site, www.fdic.gov.

CONTENTS |
Commercial Bank Reports and Savings Institution Reports are grouped into three categories:
Failures & Assistance
Transactions |
DATA SOURCES |
The structure and financial data sources used in the preparation of the publication are: Annual Reports of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 1934 - current Assets and Liabilities, Commercial and Mutual Savings Banks, 1934 - 1983 Bank Operating Statistics, 1968 - 1983 FDIC's Research Information System (RIS), 1984 - current The primary sources of financial data for the publications listed above are the Reports of Income and Condition submitted by FDIC-insured institutions to the Federal commercial bank regulators and the Thrift Financial Reports submitted by the FDIC-insured savings institutions that were regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision(1984-2011). Structure data are based on information contained in the FDIC financial institution structure data base (SIMS). |
METHODOLOGY |
In order to provide the most recent and accurate data, all financial data at both the national and state levels from 1984 to the present have been obtained from the FDIC's Research Information System (RIS). The data in the data base reflects revisions and amendments made subsequent to publication in the hard copy sources. All other data has been obtained from the other four sources listed above. When using published data, both structure and financial values were obtained from the latest edition reflecting the data for a particular year. For example, the 1965 Annual Report was the source for much of the 1957 data that appear in the publication. Since not all data, particularly at the state level, were revised and republished in later editions of the sources, multiple sources for the same year had to be used. The effect of using two sources occasionally results in differences in aggregate values for the data. These differences are not considered significant for the intended use and purpose of the publication |
COMPARABILITY OF DATA |
Reporting requirements and instructions have changed considerably over the period covered by this publication. Where possible, adjustments have been made to account for these differences to make the values adhere as closely as possible to current requirements and instructions. The notes accompanying the tables are an integral part of the publication and provide information on adjustments made to source data and on reporting differences over time. |
LEVEL OF CONSOLIDATION |
All data from 1934 to 1973 represent a consolidation of all domestic operations of the institutions and, where available, operations in what is designated "Other Areas" in source publications. "Other areas" are represented by Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and all other U.S. Territories and possessions. With some exceptions, primarily at the state level, all financial data from 1974 to the present represent the consolidation of domestic and foreign operations, including operations in "other areas". |
VALIDATION |
Every attempt has been made to assure the accuracy and integrity of the data contained in the publication. Any inconsistency brought to our attention will be investigated and corrected or explained in future editions. |
EXCLUSIONS |
Data on depository institutions not insured by the FDIC are not included in this publication. Institutions in the following categories are excluded, although such institutions may perform many of the same functions as FDIC-insured depository institutions:
