Pinnacle Bank: below all franchise loans in 7 of 9 rated years

Pinnacle Bank: below all franchise loans in 7 of 9 rated yearsPinnacle Bank charge-off rate by loan vintage. 24 approval years, 1995 to 2022; the 9 with at least 10 resolved loans are plotted, against all franchise loans approved the same year. Their rates run from 0.0% to 19.2%.

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.
