LONG BEACH, Calif. --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach (OTCQX: FMBL) today reported financial results for the second quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2023.
“For 116 years, our first priority has always been, and continues to be, safeguarding our clients’ deposits through challenging economic times. F&M continues to accomplish this priority with capital levels far in excess of minimum regulatory requirements and a quality loan portfolio, which are testaments to our commitment to safety and soundness, as shown by our second quarter results,” said Henry Walker, president of Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach. “The current turbulence facing the banking sector is not the first and will not be the last. The rapid rise in interest rates over the prior year will challenge earnings for the banking sector and for Farmers & Merchants Bank in the near-term, but it will not challenge the safety of F&M for our depositors.”
