🏦 FDIC Bank Data Scraper

🚀 Export every FDIC-insured US bank in seconds. Filter 4,500+ active institutions by state, active status, and assets. No API key, no registration, no manual data wrangling.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-21 · 📊 16 fields per record · 🏦 4,500+ active banks · 🗺️ All 50 US states · 📊 Assets, deposits and financials included

The FDIC Bank Data Scraper exports the official FDIC BankFind Suite database and returns 16 fields per record, including the FDIC certificate number, institution class, geographic coordinates, assets, deposits, net income, and founding date. The underlying dataset is the authoritative US government registry of all FDIC-insured institutions, maintained and published by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The catalog covers every FDIC-insured bank and thrift in the United States, from the largest national associations down to community credit unions. This Actor makes that data downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. All filters run server-side, so you skip the pipeline engineering entirely.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Fintech teams, compliance analysts, risk researchers, data scientists, journalists, CRE investors, academic economists	Bank due diligence, competitive analysis, state-level market mapping, financial research, regulatory compliance checks, branch location mapping

📋 What the FDIC Bank Data Scraper does

Three filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🏦 Full US export. Every FDIC-insured institution in the country sorted by total assets.
• 📍 State filter. Restrict to one state abbreviation like CA, TX, NY, or FL.
• ✅ Active-only toggle. Return only currently operating banks, or include all historical records and closed institutions.

Each record includes the FDIC certificate number (unique identifier), bank name, city, state, address, ZIP code, institution class, founding date, total assets, total deposits, net income, active status, and GPS coordinates.

💡 Why it matters: accurate FDIC bank data powers compliance screening, CRE underwriting, fintech market analysis, and academic research. Building your own pipeline means handling paginated government APIs, managing field mappings, and refreshing by hand. This Actor skips all of that and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.

⚠️ Good to Know: financial figures (assets, deposits, net income) are reported in thousands of US dollars as filed with the FDIC. A value of 3752662000 means approximately $3.75 trillion. Established dates reflect the original charter date and may differ from the date of current ownership.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Configure your state filter and active-only toggle in the input form, click Start, and the Actor queries the official FDIC BankFind Suite API with your filters and emits one clean structured record per institution. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup.

📏 How accurate is the data?

All data is sourced directly from the official FDIC BankFind Suite API. Financial figures (assets, deposits, net income) reflect the most recent Call Report filed with the FDIC. Geographic coordinates are provided by the FDIC and are accurate to the registered address.

🔁 How often is the dataset refreshed?

The FDIC updates the BankFind Suite database on a rolling basis as institutions file reports. Every run of this Actor fetches the latest data, so your dataset reflects current FDIC filings as of run time.

🗂️ What does the institution class code mean?

The institutionClass field uses FDIC charter codes: N = National bank supervised by OCC, SM = State member bank supervised by Federal Reserve, NM = State nonmember bank supervised by FDIC, SB = Savings bank, SA = Savings association, OI = US branches of foreign banks.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval (daily, weekly, monthly) and keep a downstream database in sync with the latest FDIC filings.

⚖️ Is this data legal to use?

Yes. The FDIC BankFind Suite API provides publicly available government data. No terms of service restrict access to this information for research, analysis, or commercial use.

💼 Can I use this data commercially?

Yes. The underlying bank data is published by the US federal government and is in the public domain. You are responsible for complying with any downstream regulatory requirements in your own product.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor?

No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and gives you access to scheduling, higher concurrency, and datasets covering all 4,500+ US banks.

🔢 What do the asset and deposit numbers mean?

Financial figures are denominated in thousands of US dollars as filed on bank Call Reports. Divide by 1,000 to get millions, or by 1,000,000 to get billions.

🔁 What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted?

Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, you can inspect the log in the Runs tab, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved so you never lose progress.

🏦 Does it include credit unions?

The FDIC BankFind Suite covers FDIC-insured depository institutions - banks and thrifts. Credit unions are regulated by the NCUA and are not included in this dataset.
