The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) database contains financial data and history of all entities filing the Report Of Condition and Income (Call Report) and some savings institutions filing the OTS Thrift Financial Report (TFR). These entities include Commercial banks, savings banks, or savings and loans. FDIC files include structure data, financial time series data, complex derived integers data, ratio data, and merger history data. Further information can be found on the WRDS website (see links below).
FDIC data is available to NYU on the WRDS Web query site, with data manuals and user’s guides. SAS datasets and sample SAS programs are available in the WRDS cloud (wrds.wharton.upenn.edu).
