Three Florida banks, including two separate ones based in Hillsborough County, made a new list from S&P Global Market Intelligence on the top 100 performing community banks nationwide.
Plant City-based Hillsboro Bank is ranked No. 44, while Tampa-based Central Bank is No. 66. Coconut Grove-based Biscayne Bank is No. 96 on the list. All the banks were included on S&P Global’s list of the top 100 community banks under $1 billion in assets for 2017; Winter Haven-based CenterState Bank made S&P Global’s 2017 Top 100 list of top-performing community banks with assets between $1 billion and $10 billion, ranked No. 21.
One of the highlights of the rankings is a sign of the economy’s resilience, in that banks are lending more money. Loan growth on an annual basis is up 26.4% at Hillsboro Bank and 23.4% at Central Bank.
S&P ranked the banks using six financial performance metrics: pretax return on average tangible common equity; net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans; efficiency ratio; adjusted Texas ratio, which is loan-quality metric; net interest margin; and loan growth.
The bank's data includes the following metrics:
