How often is BankProspector data updated?

All bank and credit union data in BankProspector is updated nightly. While institutions file official call reports quarterly, they may also submit updates or amendments throughout the quarter. We pull in all available changes once per day.

How often do banks file call reports?

Banks file call reports quarterly, with occasional amendments. Reporting periods are:

• January – March

When do banks file new call reports?

Banks begin filing call reports on the 15th of the month following the end of each quarter, with most submissions completed by month-end. Larger institutions may have up to 5 additional days.

BankProspector displays the most recent complete quarter. During reporting periods, we continue showing the prior quarter until approximately 95% of institutions have reported.

• Q3: October 15 – November 5
• Q4: January 15 – February 

How can I see different call report quarters in BankProspector?

If the number of reporting banks appears low, it likely means the latest quarter is still being updated.

You can switch between reporting periods using the quarter tabs at the top of the Bank Search page (e.g., Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4).Note that changing the reporting period will apply to all pages.
