Just found out after submitting all my personal information:

"Western also allows one free outgoing wire per month."
"External transfers from Western State Bank Online Banking: After 60 days you will have access to External Transfer where you can add up to five external accounts and transfer money back and forth. The limits are $5,000 per day ($10,000 per 30-day period) transferred in and $10,000 per day ($20,000 per 30-day period) transferred out."

Not a good fit if you have a little bit of savings.

Texas Ratio
Western State Bank U.S. Bank Average
4.88% 4.48%

The Texas Ratio compares the bank’s non performing assets (non-performing loans and real estate owned) with its tangible common equity and its loan loss reserves. A lower Texas ratio indicates better coverage of problem loans. The closer the Texas Ratio is to 1-to-1 or 100%, the less capital and reserves a bank has to absorb its loan losses.

As of June 30, 2024, Western State Bank had $13,965,000 in non-current loans and $0 in owned real estate. To cover these potential losses it had $251,448,000 in equity and $34,730,000 in loans loss reserves. That gives it a Texas Ratio of 4.88%.

Return on Equity
Western State Bank U.S. Bank Average
14.73% 10.46%

Western State Bank has a Return on Equity of 14.73% versus the BestCashCow average of 10.46%. Return on equity measures how efficiently a bank is making money from its capital. A bank with a consistently high ROE can be considered well run. A bank with a consistently low ROE can be considered poorly run.

Capitalization
Western State Bank U.S. Bank Average
11.28% 10.84%

Western State Bank has a Capitalization of 11.28% versus the BestCashCow average of 10.84. Capitalization measures how much equity capital a bank has to underpin loans and other assets on its balance sheet. The higher the capitalization number the more secure a bank is considered.

Western State Bank Balance Sheet Analysis

As of June 30, 2024, Western State Bank had assets of $2,229,124,000, loans of $2,013,727,000, and deposits of $1,933,632,000. Long-term increases in deposits shows a bank's ability to raise funds to grow its loans and assets. Loan and asset growth may rise or fall depending on a bank's strategy for growth. Sharp rises and falls in assets, deposits, and loans can be problematic, indicating a loosening of lending standards, or financial distress leading to reduced lending. A big change in these figured can also be from a bank acquisition or merger.

    Western State Bank is an outstanding bank, but like others I found they would not honor online rates in the branch.

  • January 6, 2023 |

    I did not find this rate anywhere. They knew nothing about it at branch in Fargo.

  • November 12, 2020 | | Replies 1

    Rate has remained competitive and they are easy to work with.
