How To Rank
Your Local Bank



Thirty-two financial institutions based in San Diego were insured by the FDIC at year-end 2005. Changes from last year include the merger of Legacy Bank with Landmark National Bank, and the merger of Rancho Bernardo Community Bank with Escondido-based Community National Bank.

Established banks number 22. These banks are ranked by return on assets (ROA), a common measure of bank's profitability.

First Coronado Bank was added to the list of de novo banks. It opened in October, 2005. Six banks are three years old or younger.

Security Business Bank, Landmark National Bank, and Torrey Pines Bank moved from the de novo category to the list of established banks.
