Questions to ask when you contact them
Based on what their website said when we read it on 2 Nov 2026, and what it left out. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.
- Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
Their website does not say which area they serve. - What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
No loan amounts are stated on their website. - What is the APR, including fees, on your home mortgages?
Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare. - What interest rate and fees should I expect on your small-business loans?
Their website does not state a rate for this. - Is there a minimum credit score, and do you consider borrowers with little or no credit history?
Their website does not say what credit history they accept. - Do you need collateral, a business plan or a minimum time in business?
Their website does not say what they require. - What documents will you need from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
Their website describes some application steps (above); ask for the full document list.
Write down the answers, who you spoke to and the date, and ask for the terms in writing before you sign.

How it compares
Computed from public data| Measure | This lender | Compared with |
|---|---|---|
| Total assets (Call Report, 30 Jun 2026) | $565.8 million | Larger than 63% of the 82 other certified banks and bank holding companies in Mississippi (median $408.8 million). |
| Loans as a share of assets | 62% | Median of the same 82 banks and bank holding companies: 62%. A higher share means more of its balance sheet is lent out. |
| Loans held, 30 Jun 2025 → 30 Jun 2026 | $326.9 million → $353.2 million (+8%) | Median change of 82 other certified banks and bank holding companies in Mississippi: +9%. Rank by loans held among these 83: 35 → 35. |
How these comparisons were worked out
| Measure | Peer group (this lender left out) | Peers | Where this lender sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Call Report total assets | other certified banks and bank holding companies in Mississippi | 82 | larger than 63% |
| Loans held then vs now | certified banks and bank holding companies in Mississippi reporting both dates | 82 | rank 35 → 35 of 83 |
“Larger than X%” = the share of the peer group with a smaller value. Ranks count from the largest. Peer groups use the lender's home state when it has at least 5 peers, otherwise the whole country. Full definitions: methodology.
For comparison, not an offer and not a rating. Past records show what this lender did, not what you would be offered. Peer groups and sources: methodology. Assets and loans: FFIEC and NCUA Call Reports (see the loan-mix section).
