Fleetwood S. Hassell, President of the Bank of South Carolina, stated, “An interest rate environment rivaling that of the Great Recession has continued to impact our margins and thus our profits for the second quarter. We are, however, encouraged by the outstanding contribution from our mortgage operation and the robust deposit growth already experienced this year. Asset quality remains strong as we have not, to-date, experienced a important number of requests from borrowers for payment deferrals or other accommodations. Our exposure to the hospitality and retail markets is minimal.
Our participation in the Payroll Protection Program resulted in the origination of 266 loans totaling over $37M. We are extremely proud of the effort put forth by our employees to serve the needs of Lowcountry businesses and not-for-profit organizations during these difficult times.
We remain well capitalized and continue to reward our shareholders, having paid quarterly cash dividends in 123 of the last 125 quarters. I am encouraged that, in the last half of this year, we will continue to serve and support our consumers with the goal for all to remain healthy.”
