Kennebunk Savings Bank
Kennebunk, Maine · $2.17B in assets · beside the 9 other Maine banks between $1B and $3B
The filing
Kennebunk Savings grew loans 15.3% in the year to June 2026, the fastest of the ten Maine banks between $1B and $3B, against a cohort median of 5.2%. Deposits grew 2.2% over the same year, and loans now stand at 107% of deposits, seventh of ten.
The book is 52.7% commercial real estate and 9.7% construction, the highest shares in the cohort against medians of 36.0% and 5.5%. Credit quality does not yet show it: noncurrent loans are 0.10% of the book and the allowance covers them 10.6 times, third of ten on both.
Equity is 8.8% of assets, the lowest in the cohort. Fast growth on a concentrated book with the least capital behind it is the shape the 2006 interagency CRE guidance was written about, and the question a board asks next is what the 2008 to 2012 loss curves do to that capital at this mix.
SBA 7(a), FY2008 to FY2026
Kennebunk Savings Bank is the 14th largest 7(a) lender into Maine of 130, with $30M across 170 loans, 2.4% of everything approved in the state (Bangor Savings Bank leads with $138M). 8 of its 13 markets have had no approvals since before FY2023: an absence in the record, not a stated withdrawal.
