Big loans in a small-loan business
Jumbo loans (larger than the conforming limit) were 13.9% of its lending, against 0.0% at the typical similar lender (a credit union making between half and twice as many loans), more than at nearly all of them. Five years before they were 5.7%. Beside its many small home-improvement and other-purpose loans, its typical loan of $125,000 understates the size of part of its lending.
