About

Public bank data, made useful.

Every US bank files quarterly with the FFIEC. Those filings, the call reports, contain everything you need to know about a bank's financial health, loan portfolio, and peer position. They're free. They're public. And until now, they were impossible to use without a spreadsheet and a weekend.

Why this exists

Bank analysts, examiners, and consultants pay tens of thousands for institutional terminals. Small business owners and loan brokers get nothing, they're left Googling "best banks for SBA loans" and scrolling through ad-funded listicles that don't account for what the bank actually lends on.

BankingLENS fixes both sides of that gap with the same dataset. Bank Peer Intel is for the analyst side, peer benchmarking, scorecards, ratio trends. Borrower Assist is for the operator side, match your scenario to banks already lending in your space, with contact info and outreach guidance.

Both tools are built directly on FFIEC public bulk data. No proprietary databases. No black-box scoring. Every metric ties back to a specific call-report line item.

Founder, Data Clarity LLC

Micah Linberger started his career as a CPA at a large firm. He moved into business analytics for a manufacturer and brand house, then into data engineering, ingestion, and security work. While consulting on a simple analytics project for a local bank, he came across the FFIEC call-report dataset and started building tools to make it more usable. BankingLENS is the result. Bank Peer Intel and Borrower Assist both run on the same FFIEC pipeline. The work combines an accounting background with data engineering, applied to a public dataset every US bank files quarterly.
