CIBC Bank USA
Chicago, Illinois · $66.50B in assets · beside the 11 other the Great Lakes states banks over $10B (the state alone holds too few in the band to rank)
The filing
CIBC Bank USA is the third largest of the 12 the Great Lakes states banks nearest its size over $10B, with $66.50B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 84.2% of deposits, 3rd of 12 against a median of 89.7%, and equity is 17.4% of assets, the highest in the cohort. Loans grew +14.6% in the year, 7th of 12, and deposits grew 8.1%; the cohort's median loan growth is +15.1%.
Noncurrent loans are 1.35% of the book, the highest in the cohort against a median of 0.76%; 0.12% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 0.8 times. Net charge-offs are 0.25% of loans, 9th of 12. Commercial real estate is 32.3% of loans, 8th of 12 against a median of 28.7%, and 149% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 23% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.53%, 3rd of 12 against a median of 1.43%, on an efficiency ratio of 36.8%, the lowest in the cohort. Five years ago it was 1.21%. The question is where the nonperforming loans sit by category, and whether the allowance and the capital behind them hold under a loss path.
