The filing
Oxford Bank is the second largest of the 12 Michigan banks nearest its size between $300M and $1B, with $931M in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 92.4% of deposits, 10th of 12 against a median of 81.3%, and equity is 12.3% of assets, 4th of 12. Loans grew +13.8% in the year, 5th of 12, and deposits grew 6.7%; the cohort's median loan growth is +9.2%.
Noncurrent loans are 2.26% of the book, the highest in the cohort against a median of 0.63%; 0.02% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 0.6 times. Commercial real estate is 22.5% of loans, 4th of 12 against a median of 26.1%, and 136% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 35% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 0.97%, 10th of 12 against a median of 1.46%, on an efficiency ratio of 71.6%, 10th of 12. Five years ago it was 1.74%. The question is where the nonperforming loans sit by category, and whether the allowance and the capital behind them hold under a loss path.
