Arvest Bank: above all franchise loans in 3 of 5 rated years

Arvest Bank: above all franchise loans in 3 of 5 rated yearsArvest Bank charge-off rate by loan vintage. 24 approval years, 1994 to 2022; the 5 with at least 10 resolved loans are plotted, against all franchise loans approved the same year. Their rates run from 0.0% to 33.3%.

Hollow rings on the axis: years with fewer than 10 resolved loans, not rated (too few to judge; recent years are too early to judge while loans are still being repaid). Their numbers are in the table.
