Our analysis, 2025
Connect Bank, a small Arkansas bank, is a manufactured-home lender: such homes took 37.2% of its loans, the highest share among similar lenders.
Manufactured homes took 37.2% of its loans, against 0.0% at the typical similar lender (state member banks making between half and twice as many loans). Its typical loan was $55,000, against $185,000, the lowest among them. Its 43 loans came to $4.8 million, against $16.7 million.
Originations rose 23%, from 35 to 43, against 6% at similar lenders and 10% for the whole market. It reported 53 loans in 2019. It filed no report for 2020 to 2022; those years are gaps in the record, not years without lending.
Majority-minority areas took 25.6% of its loans, against 7.2% at similar lenders, higher than about four in five of them. Purchases were 46.5% of its loans and refinances 39.5%.
