Franklin Savings Bank
Franklin, New Hampshire · $931M in assets · beside the 9 other New Hampshire banks between $300M and $1B
The filing
Franklin Savings Bank holds the most equity of the twelve New England banks between $300M and $1B, 17.9% of assets against a median of 9.6%. Maine alone has two banks in the band, so the cohort is regional. Return on assets is 1.00%, third of twelve, on an efficiency ratio of 69.0%, fourth.
Noncurrent loans are 1.36% of the book, ninth of twelve against a median of 0.70%, and the allowance covers them 0.6 times where the median is 1.9. A further 0.57% is 30 to 89 days past due, tenth. Commercial real estate is 16.2% of loans, second lowest in the group.
Loans stand at 112% of deposits, the highest in the cohort. Capital this deep changes what the credit numbers mean, and where the allowance sits against the delinquency pipeline is the question a board asks before an examiner does.
SBA 7(a), FY2008 to FY2026
