The end of 2017 wasn’t quite the strongest quarter, but overall 2017 was a really good year for commercial loans. Just recently, Bank Financial Corporation released their impressive numbers from 2017 and many others in the industry shared the same success.

With a 20 percent increase from last year, Bank Financial Corporation recorded a net income of $9 million dollars. There was a decline in the 4^th quarter from previous years, but it was mainly due to accelerated payments and also prepayments of leases. On top of that, the reduction of wholesale deposits did cause a decline in total deposits in the 4^th quarter, but 2017 still saw an overall increase.

Commercial loans and industrial loans san an increase in $53.5 million dollars in 2017. Also, seeing increases, multi-family residential real estate loans increased by $45.5 million dollars and middle market commercial leases grew by $18.1 million dollars. Bank Financial Corporation wasn’t the only company that saw an increase throughout 2017. Many in the industry also saw just as impressive numbers when it comes to all the different types of loans.

It was a favorable year for Bank Financial Corporation set a new record with commercial related loan balances of $1.22 billion dollars. The total retail and commercial deposits didn’t grow, but it also didn’t decline either, leading to stability throughout the year. Stability isn’t the best scenario, but it is a lot better than seeing a decline. Which is why many in the industry are hoping that the numbers continue to increase or at least be stable as we continue into 2018.

Bank Financial Corporation thanks the positive trends due to a new organization structure.

With such a great year with accelerated growth with commercial loans, Bank Financial Corporation has given credit to the success to new key business plan objectives that they were able to execute for a successful year. The company is hoping to continue to improve and become more efficient throughout the new year. The company was able to organize their plans to successfully deliver the business that their consumers are looking for.

The momentum from 2017 is expected to continue through 2018.

Due to the successful year, Bank Financial Corporation has been able to obtain new customers, acquire new account types and even expand relationships with existing customers. Bank Financial Corporation is the holding company for Bank Financial National Bank, who currently have 19 offices across the United States and offer things like commercial loans.
