A Portrait of First District Banks


Abstract: This Regional Brief sketches a portrait of the banks in the Federal Reserve System’s First Federal Reserve District, which includes all of New England except Connecticut’s Fairfield County. It highlights a few characteristics that distinguish the district’s banking industry, noting that, relative to the rest of the United States, larger shares of the region’s banks are state (Federal Reserve System) member banks, state savings banks, and cooperative banks, and the share of banks classified as community banks is twice as large.

Keywords: New England; community banks; small business credit;
