Community bank also ranked #15 in the United States among peer class with assets between $250 and $499 million nationwide

Endeavor Bank (“Bank”) (OTC Pink: EDVR) is ranked first in California and fifteenth in the nation by CB Resource, an independent company that provides consulting, risk management, and planning solutions to banks across the country.

The Bank was recognized in CB Resource’s CB Top Ten™ report for the second quarter of 2022. These rankings highlight Endeavor Bank as a top performer among its peer class of C-Corp banks with assets ranging between $250 and $499 million.

“Endeavor Bank is tremendously grateful to be ranked #1 in California following a successful year of growth in 2021 and into this year,” said Endeavor CEO Dan Yates. “It is because of the continued support from our employees, shareholders, clients, and community that we are able to provide local business owners with customized, consultative service that supports their unique goals and business models.”

The CB Top Ten is a community bank performance scorecard that identifies the banks in the top decile within each peer subset, which are determined by asset size and corporation type. Performance ratings and rankings are determined by a comprehensive evaluation of banks’ key performance indicators, including asset growth, ROAA, ROAE, net interest margin, efficiency ratio, non-performing assets, non-interest-bearing deposits, and non-interest income.

“We are proud to be recognized as a top-performing bank by CB Resource,” said Endeavor Bank President Steve Sefton. “To be ranked so highly among our peers on both a state and national scale this early in our formation is a testament to our unique ownership structure and deep involvement in our community.”
