Beacon Bank & Trust
Boston, Massachusetts · $22.20B in assets · beside the 5 other New England banks over $10B (the state alone holds too few in the band to rank)
The filing
Beacon Bank & Trust is the smallest of the 6 New England banks over $10B, with $22.20B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 95.6% of deposits, the highest in the cohort against a median of 85.6%, and equity is 11.4% of assets, 3rd of 6. Loans grew +229.1% in the year, the fastest in the cohort, and deposits grew 302.0%; the cohort's median loan growth is +18.4%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.90% of the book, 5th of 6 against a median of 0.66%; 0.83% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 1.5 times. Net charge-offs are 0.31% of loans, 5th of 6. Commercial real estate is 43.8% of loans, 5th of 6 against a median of 35.2%, and 336% of capital, above the 300% screen, with construction at 16% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +179.1% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 1.07%, 4th of 6 against a median of 1.09%, on an efficiency ratio of 59.9%, 3rd of 6. Five years ago it was 1.44%. The question is what the concentration does under a commercial real estate stress, and how much of it is owner-occupied (owner-occupied nonresidential is 10.0% of loans).
