Using FDIC data, they took into account pretax return-on-assets (ROA) figures from the past three years, with the most recent year weighted at 3x, second most recent year at 2x and third most recent year at 1x. They then divided the community banks into three broad segments based on asset size and ranked each segment based on a three-year weighted average ROA. A bank must have a rating of C or higher by Kroll Bond Ratings (formerly LACE) to be considered for ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About ICBA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Independent Community Bankers of America creates and promotes an environment where community banks flourish.
