Sunnyside Federal logo Irvington NYSunnyside Federal Savings and Loan has just been named one of the 359 safest banks in America out of more than 7,300 banks in a recent study conducted by financial education website, www.investinganswers.com.

 

InvestingAnswers.com recently conducted a study of more than 7,300 banks to see which banks had the lowest risk of failure. They derived the chances of failure through the Texas Ratio in which the closer the Texas Ratio gets to zero, the lower the bank’s risk of failure. Only 359 banks in America, including Sunnyside Federal Savings and Loan, ended up with a perfect score of 0.0.

The Texas Ratio was developed by Gerard Cassidy, a financial wizard at RBC Capital Markets, who used it to correctly predict bank failures in Texas during the 1980s recession, and again in New England during the recession of the early 1990s. The ratio is considered an excellent source at predicting bank failures along with finding the banks that are the furthest from failure.
