Renasant Bank
HMDA reporter, headquartered in Johns Creek, Georgia. Record for calendar year 2024.
HMDA data alone cannot be used to determine whether a lender is complying with fair lending laws. The data do not include some legitimate credit risk considerations for loan approval and loan pricing decisions. Figures are from the 2024 public HMDA loan/application register; cells under 25 applications are withheld.
In 2024, Renasant Bank filed HMDA records for 10,161 applications and 7,420 originations in 12 states, worth $2.0bn.
Its denial rate, the share of decided applications the lender denied, was 10.7%, below the national rate of 24.3% and below the Mississippi rate of 30.2%. 1,151 applications were withdrawn by the applicant and 34 files were closed for incompleteness; those are not counted in the denial rate.
The median rate spread on its originated loans, the difference between the loan's APR and the average prime offer rate, was 0.3 percentage points (national median 0.3); 1.6% of its originations had a spread of 1.5 points or more.
By loan purpose the originations were mostly home purchase (64%) and refinancing (19%); by loan type, conventional (76%) and FHA (15%).
The largest volumes were in Mississippi (1,657 originations), Georgia (1,639 originations) and Alabama (1,708 originations).
