IBANYS member banks rated "Safest in the nation!"
Using the time-tested 'Texas Ratio,' investigatinganswers.com found just over 350 banks in the U.S. that appear to be the safest. These banks all had a perfect Texas ratio of 0.0, making them theoretically the least likely to fail in the country. We are proud to report that out of the 17 New York State banks that made the list, 6 are IBANYS members.
This distinction is of great honor, and we are so proud of our members!
Those "safest" IBANYS members are:
- Gold Coast Bank
- Greene County Commercial Bank
- Pathfinder Commercial Bank
- Pioneer Bank
- Sunnyside Federal Savings and Loan
- Watertown Savings Bank
