On February 1, 2023, REDWOOD CAPITAL BANCORP (OTCQB:RWCB), the only locally owned and operated community bank holding company in Humboldt County, announced unaudited financial results for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2022. Redwood Capital Bank, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, reported record earnings and unprecedented loan growth.
President and CEO John Dalby stated, “In 2022, Redwood Capital Bank again received the ‘5-Star’ rating from Bauer Financial and ‘Super Premier Performing’ from The Findley Reports. These very prestigious awards are presented by two of the most well-known and respected financial rating agencies within the banking trade. We are honored to have received these awards and believe they are a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire team.”
Total assets as of December 31, 2022, were $521 million and total deposits stood at $471 million as of December 31, 2022. Total loans as of December 31, 2022, net of unearned income, were $379.5 million, an increase of 6% over the September 30, 2022 figure of $359.2 million and a 14% increase over the December 31, 2021 total loans of $332.3 million.
