The filing
National Exchange Bank & Trust is the largest of the 12 Wisconsin banks nearest its size between $1B and $3B, with $2.89B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 75.3% of deposits, 2nd of 12 against a median of 94.6%, and equity is 19.8% of assets, the highest in the cohort. Loans grew +1.1% in the year, 10th of 12, and deposits fell 2.9%; the cohort's median loan growth is +4.0%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.37% of the book, 5th of 12 against a median of 0.54%; 0.11% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 8.1 times. Commercial real estate is 46.5% of loans, 7th of 12 against a median of 45.7%, and 133% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 25% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.67%, 3rd of 12 against a median of 1.30%, on an efficiency ratio of 49.4%, the lowest in the cohort. Five years ago it was 1.20%. The question this shape raises is what the liquidity earns, and what a rate path does to the securities book and the deposit base.
