Svp, Commercial Banking Leader
CurrentCF Bank is a pure commercial lending focused bank that has an entrepreneurial atmosphere. "Bank Director" selected the top 10 banks in each peer group based on several metrics including a profitability score, calculated based on ROAA and ROAE. Credit quality, as well as year-over-year growth in pre-provision net revenue from 2019 to 2020, was also examined as well as five-year total shareholder return, from 2015 to 2020, to recognize banks building long-term value.Once the top 10 were selected, Bank Director dove further into four distinct subcategories that contribute to overall performance: leadership, board, innovation, and growth. Each institution’s rank for these categories was factored into the final score, with the growth category receiving double weight due to its potential to drive future earnings.CF Bankshares tied for 4th overall of banks under $10B in assets and ranked even stronger for the Growth Strategy subcategory, landing in 2nd place, outperforming banks 5 times their size!
