Credit quality
Allowance coverage and provisioning across the six banks, with the consumer
credit series that lead them. Each panel is one bank on its own axis; the dashed line behind the
allowance panels is the median of the six.
Allowance for credit losses, as a share of loans
JPM
1.70% of loans
BAC
1.08% of loans
WFC
1.35% of loans
C
2.52% of loans
GS
0.83% of loans
MS also tracked
0.43% of loans
Bank
Median of the six
Each panel has its own y-axis: coverage ranges from well under 1% to over 2.5%
across these banks, and a shared axis would flatten five of the six into straight lines.

Provision for credit losses, by quarter

WFC

GS

Bars below the zero line are net releases. Goldman Sachs released $2,123m in Q4 2025 — that figure is recovered
arithmetically from the full year and is corroborated by its allowance moving from $4,508m to $2,148m over the same quarter.

What leads them
Consumer credit and unemployment
Credit card delinquency rate and the unemployment rate, both in percent.

Card delinquencies have historically led net charge-offs by roughly two
quarters. That lag is an observation about the series, not a forecast of any bank's results.
Net charge-off rate, Y-9C basis
JPM
0.59% annualized
BAC

WFC

Annualized net charge-offs over quarterly-average loans, computed from each
holding company's FR Y-9C regulatory filing — one consistent definition across all six banks.
This is not the headline rate each bank quotes, which is computed on its own loan-book slices.
Formula and basis.
Charge-off rates broken out by loan book (card, commercial, mortgage) are not on
this page: they are not reliably tagged in XBRL and live only in each bank's financial
supplement, and nothing here is parsed from those documents. The aggregate net charge-off rate
above comes from the FR Y-9C regulatory filing instead.
