Growth centred on one city
Originations rose 81%, faster than about nine in ten similar lenders (state member banks making between half and twice as many loans), whose typical growth was 6%. In Lubbock it now ranks 28 of 341 lenders, behind Texas Tech Federal Credit Union and Alliance Credit Union. Dollar lending rose to $21.8 million from $6.6 million. With 47 loans, a few large ones can move these figures a long way, so one year does not establish a trend.
