Consumer Lending
The bank originates home equity loans, home equity lines of credit and other consumer loans, primarily through its branch network and client service center.

Residential Lending
The bank originates residential mortgages throughout its various markets referred from retail branches and through a network of mortgage loan officers. All mortgages, regardless of being sold or held in the bank’s portfolio, are generally underwritten to secondary market industry standards for prime mortgages. For loans originated for investment, the bank requires pricing adjustments commensurate with the risk, and the real estate taken as collateral results in the bank holding a first lien on the property.
