The loan portfolio grew by $46 million and deposits increased by $240 million over 2019. Wealth management revenue grew nearly 3% over the previous year. The Tier 1 capital ratio is 8.09% and continues to exceed well-capitalized regulatory requirements. “Our loan growth was achieved with the same conservative credit standards that have served us well for more than a century,” said Eldred. “The historic low interest rates drove the mortgage loan originations to a record breaking $244 million.”
“2020 was a challenging year due to the pandemic, but our employee family was there to help every step of the way,” said McCoy. “During the first round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020, we helped 665 businesses secure nearly $78 million in funding which impacted more than 9,600 local jobs.
