Independent Banker, an award-winning magazine of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), announced its rankings of the top community bank loan producers for 2020 in the July issue.

“The community banks featured on Independent Banker’s Top Lenders listings demonstrate that innovation and expertise go hand in hand to deliver exceptional customer experiences that generate bottom-line results,” ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey said. “ICBA is pleased to recognize these banks and their highly accomplished staff on an outstanding performance this year as they continue to build a culture of success."

The “ICBA’s Top Lenders 2020” feature reveals the secret to these community banks’ success as agricultural, commercial, and consumer and mortgage lenders. It showcases their commitment, ingenuity, and skill in adapting to market dynamics and evolving customer needs. Recognized community bankers embody the entrepreneurial spirit of community banking, follow established industry fundamentals, and embrace innovation for the benefit of their local customers and communities.

The annual Top Lenders list is based on the strength of competitive banking services and operational efficiencies using FDIC data for 2019. Scores were determined by combining the average of the bank’s percentile rank for lending concentration and for loan growth over the past year in each lending category and asset size and adjusted for loan charge-o?s at certain percentile thresholds.
