Fewer loans while peers grew
Originations fell 9% to 974, while similar lenders (state member banks making between half and twice as many loans) rose 7% and the whole market 10%; its growth was lower than more than nine in ten peers'. Purchases were 57.0% of its loans, so it may have gained little from refinancing; that is one possible reason. It made 2,470 loans in 2020.
