Big loans for its size
Similar lenders (state member banks making between half and twice as many loans) had a typical loan of $175,000. Coastal Heritage Bank made fewer loans than many of them, 74, yet its $52.9 million in lending was higher than more than four in five. Jumbo loans (larger than the conforming limit) were 15.7% of its loans against 1.8%, which could reflect home prices in its Boston-area markets.
