Texas Ratio
| Mechanics Bank | U.S. Bank Average |
|---|---|
| 2.4% | 3.96% |
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 December 31, 2024, Mechanics Bank had $39,822,000 in non-current loans and $17,011,000 in owned real estate. To cover these potential losses it had $2,235,605,000 in equity and $133,778,000 in loans loss reserves. That gives it a Texas Ratio of 2.4%.

|---|---|
| 9.42% | 12.20% |
Mechanics Bank has a Return on Equity of 9.42% versus the BestCashCow average of 12.20%. 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.

|---|---|
| 12.77% | 10.76% |

Mechanics Bank Balance Sheet Analysis
As of December 31, 2023, Mechanics Bank had assets of $17,505,527,000, loans of $10,648,149,000, and deposits of $14,301,874,000. 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.

Customer Reviews for Mechanics Bank
kristinalouise
December 6, 2018 |
I have to say, as a local business owner, I purposefully chose to work with a 'local business bank'. I moved my checking over when I incorporated and assumed that I would go to them when my needs increased. Well, sure enough, my needs increased (trying to open an office space in Downtown). I went to Mechanic's (of course!) and got directed to someone in finance where they informed me "not to bother submitting an application because they categorically do not work with real estate professionals". Oh, well excuse me. I am an entrepreneur who owns three businesses, I just happen to also be a (very productive) Realtor in town. They have access to all my financials (including a paid off credit card). Needless to say, I will not be doing business with a company that discriminates against me based on my PROFESSION (are you kidding me?). Shame on this bank for not evaluating BUSINESS OWNERS on financials, history, merit and deposit. What a damn shame. Maybe you should make sure they don't discriminate against whatever it is that you happen to do (they have a list, which she rattled off to me verbally) before you decide to bank with this institution.
