Company Information: Banks and Financial Institutions

Banks and their data are integral to the world economy. Unlike other industries, trust in financial institutions have far reaching effects on all sorts of economies, politics and societies. It's for this reason that the stability of banks is closely monitored through analysis, rankings and credit ratings.

CBS Library gives access to some more specialized databases on banks and financial institutions.

Banks Regulatory Database (via WRDS)
Contains five databases providing accounting data for bank holding companies, commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loans institutions. The source of the data comes from the required regulatory forms filed for supervising purposes.

• The Commercial Bank Database, from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (FRB Chicago), contains data of all banks filing the Report of Condition and Income (named "Call Report") that are regulated by the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Comptroller of the Currency.
• The Bank Holding Companies Database collects financial data from bank holding companies included in the FRY-9 reports
• The FDIC/OTS Deposit Database collects deposit data on each office of every FDIC-insured bank and savings association
• The Merger Description Database from the FRB Chicago provides acquisition/merger data and other useful records about circumstances under which a financial institution ceased to exist
• The Research Information System (RIS) Database contains financial data and history of all entities filing the Call Report and some savings institutions filing the OTS Thrift Financial Report (TFR).
