Quick Ways to Learn More About

The Safety & Soundness of Your Bank…Our Bank…Any Bank

One of the most efficient ways to learn a bit more about the financial health of any Bank, Thrift, Saving & Loan or Credit Union is to take the time to visit one of the private firms dedicated specifically to rating companies in the financial industry.  As stated in a recent Los Angeles Times article “Savvy consumers can turn to ratings generated by private firms that wade through the oceans of numbers that banks report to regulators.”

The article also notes that the FDIC website (www.FDIC.gov/bank/individual/bank/index.html) provides a complete list of these private companies.  Below is an abbreviated list including those that seem most “consumer friendly” (as many of the firms included on the FDIC list are expensive and oriented more toward the “financial professionals” market).  We have also indicated where Mission Valley Bank falls within each rating system.

In-depth analysis of Mission Valley Bank (and all other Insured Financial Institutions) can be found at www.FDIC.gov.  You will find easy to use buttons that will guide you to detailed information on Deposit Insurance, Consumer Protection, Industry Analysis and much more.
