I found CFG Bank while searching for high APYs and went with them since they consistently offers some of the best rates in the country. I’ve had a great experience with my personal money market account. Unlike other banks that only reward new customers, CFG keeps rates competitive. Glad I made the switch

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 December 31, 2024, CFG Bank had $220,004,000 in non-current loans and $18,784,000 in owned real estate. To cover these potential losses it had $560,377,000 in equity and $57,552,000 in loans loss reserves. That gives it a Texas Ratio of 38.64%.

CFG Bank Balance Sheet Analysis
As of December 31, 2024, CFG Bank had assets of $5,398,812,000, loans of $3,616,825,000, and deposits of $4,740,372,000. 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.

I was considering opening a CD with this bank but I'm having second thoughts due to the many NEGETATIVE reviews. I'm seeking an on line bank with competitive rates and GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

So frustrating trying to open and fund an account. No return phone calls, couldn’t add funds. Giving up and taking my money elsewhere! If it’s difficult depositing money, I can only imagine trying to withdraw money!! Don’t waste your time!

Don't waste your time. No one returns calls. We waited for a week and never heard back from them. If you cannot get your money into the bank I can only imagine the hassles getting it out. If you read these reviews its clear they do not have the capacity to actually be an online bank.

Online application only good for opening a CD. I had trouble trying to establish an High Yield Saving Account. Their online application process kept initiating a CD account. I was unable to create a saving account and their service reps were not helpful in providing guidance for me to establish an savings account. Another factor to be aware of is transferring funds to external accounts takes forever to process. The only thing they have going is the high rates on their CD accounts.
