BankProspector - Bank Trends

What Is Bank Trends?

The Bank Trends section provides a high-level view of overall banking industry health, with a focus on distressed asset activity over time.

It helps you understand what’s happening across the market—without needing to analyze individual banks one by one.


What You’re Seeing

Bank Trends highlights key indicators such as:

  • Total Non-Performing Loans (NPL)
  • Average NPL % across institutions
  • NPL growth over time
  • Number of banks above key thresholds (e.g., >10% NPL)

You can also view:

  • Trends across multiple quarters
  • Breakdowns by asset type (residential, commercial, consumer)
  • Delinquent vs. nonaccrual loan composition

How to Think About It

Bank Trends is a market-level view, not a deal list.

It helps answer questions like:

  • Is distress increasing or stabilizing?
  • Which asset types are under pressure?
  • Are more banks moving into higher-risk categories?

Why It Matters

Understanding these trends can help you:

  • Decide where to focus your prospecting
  • Identify when opportunities may be increasing
  • Approach banks with better context

How It Fits With the Platform

  • Bank Trends = Macro (market insight)
  • Bank Search = Micro (deal sourcing)

Most users will use Bank Trends to understand the market, then use Bank Search to find specific opportunities.


Where People Get Stuck

It’s easy to view the data—but harder to know what to do with it.

Knowing:

  • Which trends matter
  • How they translate into opportunities
  • When to take action

…comes with experience and process.
