JERICHO, N.Y., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Esquire Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ESQ) (“Esquire”), the parent company for Esquire Bank, National Association (“Esquire Bank” or the “Bank”) (collectively “Esquire”), today announced the Bank’s inclusion in S&P Global Market Intelligence’s annual U.S. Community Bank Deposit Rankings for the third consecutive year. This year’s rankings recognize the top 100 deposit franchises among banks with less than $3 billion in assets based on data as of June 30, 2026.
S&P Global Market Intelligence launched the U.S. Community Bank Deposit Rankings in 2024 to identify banks with the most valuable and resilient deposit franchises. The rankings are based on a weighted average of eight key metrics, including noninterest-bearing deposit concentration, cost of interest-bearing deposits, deposit betas, deposit efficiency and overall growth, placing a premium on stable funding and efficient operations.
The recognition comes amid a period of sustained momentum for Esquire and reflects the strength of its deposit franchise ahead of its recent acquisition of Signature Bancorporation, Inc., the parent company of Signature Bank of Chicago (“Signature”). Following the Signature closing on August 1, 2026, the combined company has approximately $4.8 billion in assets, $3.3 billion in loans and $4.0 billion in deposits.
“Earning this recognition for the third consecutive year underscores the strength of our deposit franchise and the long-term client relationships that underpin our business,” said Andrew C. Sagliocca, Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “By deeply understanding the national markets and clients we serve, we have built long-term relationships that allow our clients to grow, while concurrently generating strong organic deposit growth. The Signature merger extends both our client-centric approaches to a larger, more diversified client base, positioning Esquire for future industry leading growth.”
