By Bill Parry

An Astoria-based bank has been named one of the Top 200 Healthiest Banks in America by DepositAccounts.com, a website that monitors and informs consumers about how well financial institutions perform. Quontic Bank made the list at No. 88 of the 6,199 federally insured banks in the United States.

The website also gave Quontic Bank an “A-plus” health grade for its overall financial strength. The bank, headquartered at 31-05 Broadway, stood out in all of the primary evaluation categories, including capitalization, deposit growth and loan to reserve ratios, DepositAccounts.com said.

“This ranking shows that despite our relatively small size, Quontic Bank ranks among the top 2 percent of all federally insured banks in the entire country,” Quontic Bank CEO Steven Schnall said. “We are proud of this distinction.”
