Lending capacity measures, with peers

Estimated largest single loan$53.2M$14.0M to $86.0M across 8 peersEstimate: 15% of tier 1 capital plus allowance. A further 10% is allowed with readily marketable collateral, and state-chartered banks follow state limits. Not a limit the lender has stated.FDIC call report, 12 CFR 32.3, Jun 30, 2026

Loans to assets71.6%53.1% to 86.1% across 8 peersTotal loans divided by total assets.FDIC call report,

Our calculation: construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential loans, divided by tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. It is not the test in the 2006 interagency guidance on commercial real estate concentrations (December 12, 2006; OCC Bulletin 2006-46, Federal Reserve SR 07-1). That guidance measures against total risk-based capital, also counts loans that finance commercial real estate but are not secured by real estate, and looks more closely when construction and land loans reach 100% of that capital, or commercial real estate loans reach 300% of it and have grown 50% or more in the prior 36 months. This figure uses a different capital base, leaves out the unsecured loans and applies no growth condition. The guidance sets no limit on lending. Not a rating, and not a statement about safety or deposits.

Loan channel and SBA processing

  • Of 114 1-4 unit investor loans with a known channel in 2025, 1 (0.9%) came through a third party. HMDA,
