  • •A serious SBA operation: this year's production is ~4% of the whole loan book. Your file gets experienced hands without specialist wait-lists. That makes First Financial Bank more SBA-focused than 93% of the banks on our record.
  • •Deposits grew last quarter — more raw lending capacity than the quarter before.
  • •Return on assets of 1.09% — above the ~1% mark generally considered strong for a bank. How any of this translates to your rate is a question for the loan officer — pricing is set deal by deal.
