WHAT'S A BANK'S
LENDING LIMIT?
Banks have been in business for hundreds of
years. Long experience has shown why banks fail.
A bank can make many small mistakes in lending
and still survive but it can’t make many large er
rors and survive.
Therefore, to protect depositors, banking
laws set limits on how much a bank may lend to
any one borrower.
Our capital and surplus is $160,000, and our
lending limit is $30,000, which is acceptable to the
Territorial Banking Board and to the Federal De
posit Insurance Corporation. It is reasonable. We
do not exceed it and do not want to. If borrowers
need more than $30,000, loans can be arranged
with other banks with our cooperation.
Banking laws are to protect the public, not.
the banks. They are fair and just and should be
obeyed.
