A sharp rebound
Originations rose 71% to 87, higher than nearly all similar lenders (national banks making between half and twice as many loans), whose typical growth was 6%, against 10% for the whole market. Lending dollars about doubled, from $19.5 million to $40.8 million. The 2024 figure of 51 was its lowest since 2018, so part of the jump is a return to its 2018 and 2019 level.
