Peer group, and who names ECB Bancorp, Inc. /MD/ as a peer
Companies that benchmark against ECBK
1 company names ECBK as a compensation peer
- Provident Bancorp, Inc.PVBCFY2024
Each company listed discloses ECBK in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named ECBK in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
Chief executive pay against the peer group
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.
