A fall after a peak year
Similar lenders (national banks making between half and twice as many loans) grew 6% and the whole market 10%; LCNB's change was lower than nearly all of them. Its 770 loans in 2024 were far above the 311 of 2023, and 523 is still above 2023 and above the 436 of similar lenders. Its 2024 merger with EAGLE.bank may have added to that peak.
