The increase in interest rates has impacted financial institutions resulting in higher costs of funding and lower fair values for investment securities. Three large regional banks have been closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) mainly due to liquidity concerns, resulting from interest rate risk issues and large concentrations of uninsured corporate deposits. The liquidity issues were unique to the way these banks operated and don’t believe are reflective of our Company. The Company maintains strong capital and liquidity, and a stable, conservative deposit portfolio with a majority of deposits being retail-based and FDIC insured. The Company spends significant time each month monitoring interest rate and concentration risks through asset/liability management and lending strategies that involve a relationship-based banking model that the Company believes offers stability and consistency.
