Its typical loan was $645,000, against $175,000 at similar lenders: state member banks making between half and twice as many loans. That is larger than at nearly all of them. Jumbo loans, those larger than the conforming limit, were 13.2% of its lending, against 1.5% for peers. In non-metro Massachusetts it ranks seventh of 232 lenders, behind JPMorgan Chase Bank and The Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank.
