C3bank continues to think outside the box by partnering with key firms like Blooma to develop AI based tools to lead the new generation of banking.

Traditionally, lenders spend a lot of time manually gathering the data that factors into a potential deal. Blooma allows banks to outsource that process to its AI engines. It taps into third party databases to extract information about local real estate markets and scours the web for other relevant information, such as neighborhood crime statistics and negative news.

C3bank received a 5-star rating from independent rating agency BauerFinancial. The agency designates the bank as “Superior”, its highest rating, and features institutions with such a ranking on the BauerFinancial Recommended Report. C3bank will also be featured in the August issue of Jumbo Rate News published weekly by BauerFinancial. The issue features the top 50 banks in the nation as determined by quality loan growth. Each bank is required to be considered “well-capitalized”, considered “sound”, and have at least an "Excellent" star rating by the BauerFinancial. BauerFinancial star ratings classify each institution based upon a complex formula factoring in current and historical data. The first level of evaluation is the capital level of the institution followed by other relevant data including, but not limited, to: profitability, historical trends, loan delinquencies, repossessed assets, reserves, regulatory compliance, proposed regulations and asset quality. Negative trends are projected forward to compensate for the lag time in the data. BauerFinancial employs conservative measures when assigning these ratings and consequently our analysis may be lower than those supplied by other analysts or the institutions themselves. More than 30 years of experience has shown this to be a prudent course of action.
