Fewer loans, larger dollars
Loans fell 12% to 56, while the typical similar lender (state non-member banks making between half and twice as many loans) grew 7% and the whole market 10%. Yet dollars lent rose from $13.9 million to $24.6 million, higher than about seven in ten peers. A few larger loans can do this at such a small volume, so one year is a thin basis for a trend.
