“We are pleased to once again be recognized by Forbes in this prestigious ranking. This acknowledgment speaks to our commitment to providing the highest quality service to our loyal Florida customers,” said Kent Ellert President & CEO, Florida Community Bank. “We will continue to exceed our customers’ expectations and overall, thrive as the leading commercial bank in Florida.”

Forbes' ranking of the 100 largest banks was born from the financial crisis of the late 2000s when credit quality was cratering. Banks are healthier since the financial crisis for a decade now, but there is still a wide variance in the financial condition of the largest financial institutions. The “Best Banks in America” Forbes ranking is based on the following metrics: growth, profitability, capital adequacy and asset quality, include return on average tangible equity, return on average assets, net interest margin, efficiency ratio and net charge-offs as a percent of total loans.

Assets from $2.6 trillion JPMorgan Chase to First Financial Bancorp with $8.8 billion are carefully examined for the ranking. The data comes courtesy of S&P Global Market Intelligence, but the rankings are done solely by Forbes.

Other factors include nonperforming assets as a percent of assets, risk-based capital ratio and reserves as a percent of nonperforming assets. Each of the metrics is weighted equally in the final rankings.
