Our analysis, 2025
Signature Bank of Arkansas grew its mortgage lending by 28% in 2025, far faster than similar banks, and makes bigger loans than they do.
It made 422 loans, up from 329, faster than more than four in five similar lenders, meaning state member banks making between half and twice as many loans. Their typical growth was 6% and the whole market's 10%. Its count has climbed from a low of 232 in 2023.
Its typical loan was $265,000, against $185,000 at similar lenders, and its $196.4 million in loans was more than four in five of them made. Purchase loans were 69.0% of the total and refinances 27.0%. Loans above the conforming limit (jumbo loans) were 3.7%, about double the share at similar lenders.
Borrowers with low or moderate incomes (LMI) took 18.1% of its loans, up from 14.3% but lower than at almost nine in ten similar lenders, where the typical share was 28.1%. Its larger loans suggest a lender serving buyers of pricier homes, which may explain part of the gap. In poorer neighborhoods its share, 17.6%, was close to similar lenders'.
Its share of lending rose in Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, its biggest market, where Arvest Bank leads. In Fort Smith its share rose to 1.2% from 0.8%. It turned down 3.3% of home-purchase applications, lower than at similar lenders, at 7.2%.
Similar lenders: same lender type, originations between half and twice the lender's in the data year. Written from the 2025 HMDA data and checked figure by figure against it.
