Bank assets in Alaska

About this data

Quarterly financials for every FDIC-insured bank chartered in Alaska, via the FDIC BankFind Suite API. Only five banks are AK-chartered — First National Bank Alaska, Northrim Bank, First Bank (Ketchikan), Mt. McKinley Bank (Fairbanks), and Denali State Bank (Fairbanks) — so this is a small, clean panel of assets, deposits, and lending that complements the credit-union data for a full picture of Alaska depository institutions. Headline series: total assets and deposits per bank and statewide.

Known issues & gotchas

• The documented host 301-redirects: banks.data.fdic.gov/api/... now redirects to https://api.fdic.gov/banks/... (verified 2026-08-06). The redirect currently works transparently for clients that follow redirects, but build the connector against api.fdic.gov/banks (or follow redirects explicitly) and watch for the old host being retired.
• Amounts are in thousands of dollars — a classic unit mixup. FNBA's ASSET of 5,083,974 is $5.08B, not $5M.
• STALP:AK = chartered in Alaska, not operating in Alaska. Out-of-state banks with big AK footprints (Wells Fargo, KeyBank, Glacier Bank's First National-competitor branches) are invisible here. This series is "Alaska's home-grown banks," not "banking in Alaska" — for AK deposit market share including outside banks, use the /api/sod endpoint filtered on branch state instead.
• Bank count is small and stable (5), but any merger/acquisition of an AK charter would drop an institution — alert if the quarterly institution set changes.
• The API paginates (default limit is small); pass limit explicitly and page if pulling full history.
