Who leads the table?

The five banks at the top of the table at Q2 2026 were Beal Bank USA (8.19%, NV), Bank of Stockton (6.08%, CA), Comenity Bank (4.96%, DE), WebBank (4.68%, UT) and WEX Bank (4.30%, UT). 7 of the top 10 were also in the top 10 in Q1 2026. 4 of the top 10 have their head office in Utah.

How are the values spread?

Half of the 500 banks have a value between 1.02% and 1.60% (the middle two quarters of the table); one in ten is above 1.99% and one in ten below 0.67%. A year earlier, at Q2 2025, the median was 1.09% across 528 banks. The median rose from 1.26% in Q1 2026 to 1.30% in Q2 2026.

14 values lie far from the rest of the table (more than three times the spread of the middle half beyond it): Beal Bank USA (8.19%); Bank of Stockton (6.08%); Comenity Bank (4.96%); WebBank (4.68%); WEX Bank (4.30%); State Bank of Texas (4.24%) and others. Values like these usually come from special-purpose banks, such as trust, custody, credit card or payment banks, whose balance sheets differ from lending banks; compare them with care.
