Arvest Bank Performance Tests Performance Levels Lending Test* Investment Test Service Test Outstanding High Satisfactory X X Low Satisfactory X Needs to Improve Substantial Noncompliance *Note: The Lending Test is weighted more heavily than the Investment and Service Tests when arriving at an overall rating. The major factors supporting the institution’s rating include the following: • The bank’s lending levels reflect good responsiveness to assessment area credit needs. • The bank makes a substantial majority of loans inside its designated assessment areas. • The overall geographic distribution of the loans reflects good penetration throughout the bank’s assessment areas. • Given the product lines offered, the distribution of borrowers reflects good penetration among customers of different income levels and businesses/farms of different sizes. • Overall, the bank makes an adequate level of community development loans. • The bank makes a significant level of qualified community development investments and grants, occasionally in a leadership position. • Delivery systems are accessible to the bank’s geographies and individuals of different income levels in its assessment areas. Changes in branch locations have not adversely affected the accessibility of delivery systems, and services do not vary in a way that inconveniences its assessment areas, particularly low- and moderate-income (LMI) geographies and/or LMI individuals. • The bank provides an adequate level of qualified community development services. 1 Arvest Bank CRA Performance Evaluation Fayetteville, Arkansas September 21, 2015 INSTITUTION DESCRIPTION
