Community Bancorp reported a $18.6 million increase in its loan portfolio during Q1 2026, driven by residential, commercial real estate, municipal, and commercial & industrial loans, supporting higher interest income despite a decline in deposits. The bank’s funding strategy remains grounded in core deposits complemented by alternative funding sources like reciprocal CDARS/ICS programs. Its capital position strengthened with equity rising to $116.8 million—well above regulatory requirements—while the company continues to manage interest rate risk and credit exposures through independent loan reviews and prudent underwriting practices. Growth momentum is balanced with risks linked to geographic concentration and deposit fluctuations in a challenging rate environment.
