MidFirst Bank
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma · $42.83B in assets · beside the 11 other the Southwest banks over $10B (the state alone holds too few in the band to rank)
The filing
MidFirst Bank is the fourth largest of the 12 the Southwest banks nearest its size over $10B, with $42.83B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 132.4% of deposits, the highest in the cohort against a median of 80.3%, and equity is 9.8% of assets, 8th of 12. Loans grew +1.7% in the year, 9th of 12, and deposits grew 2.4%; the cohort's median loan growth is +5.6%.
Noncurrent loans are 18.31% of the book, the highest in the cohort against a median of 0.90%; 5.08% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 0.0 times. Commercial real estate is 19.6% of loans, 4th of 12 against a median of 27.7%, and 161% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 26% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.44%, 4th of 12 against a median of 1.25%, on an efficiency ratio of 52.9%, 6th of 12. Five years ago it was 2.80%. The question is where the nonperforming loans sit by category, and whether the allowance and the capital behind them hold under a loss path.
