HomeTrust Bank, a North Carolina bank ranked 7 of 422 lenders in Asheville, grew 23% in 2025 while similar lenders grew 2%, and its loans were larger than at most of them.
Grew faster than about nine in ten similar lenders
Originations rose 23% to 1,925, while similar lenders (state member banks making between half and twice as many loans) grew 2% and the whole market 10%; its growth was higher than about nine in ten of them. Dollar volume rose to $675.2 million from $442.7 million. It remains below the 3,851 loans it made in 2021.
Larger loans, beyond its home state
Its typical loan was $305,000, up from $215,000 a year earlier and higher than about nine in ten similar lenders, whose typical loan was $195,000. It lent in 19 states, and has lent in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad and San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont since 2019. Other-purpose loans were its largest category, at 38.2%.
A smaller share in Asheville
It held 2.4% of the Asheville market, down from 3.1%, behind Berkadia Commercial Mortgage and State Employees' Credit Union. The fall could reflect stronger years for competitors or growth that went to markets outside Asheville.
Fewer LMI borrowers, more majority-minority areas
LMI (low- and moderate-income) borrowers received 13.9% of its loans, against 26.5% at similar lenders, among the lowest tenth, and 12.0% went to LMI areas, against 15.7%. Its larger loans and lending outside North Carolina could account for this. Its share in majority-minority areas, 14.2% against 8.7%, was higher than about seven in ten.
