Four community banks report increased earnings in Q3
Despite low interest rate environment, some find ways to boost total assets

By Linn Parish
Of the Journal of Business

Four community bank companies that have a presence in the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene area have reported increases in third-quarter net income.

Two of those banks had posted a loss during the third quarter of 2011.

While all are reporting challenges in the current low interest rate environment, a couple have experienced an uptick in mortgage-loan originations, suggesting a resurgence of the housing market.
