Founded in 1884 as Oxford Savings and headquartered at 60 South Washington Street in Oxford, Michigan, the bank converted to Oxford Bank in 1985 and became a publicly traded entity in 2016, establishing itself as the oldest commercial bank in Oakland County with a focus on full-relationship banking for individuals, businesses, and communities across its primary market. In recent periods, the company has demonstrated robust balance sheet growth, with total assets reaching $859.51 million as of June 30, 2025, up from $823.87 million at March 31, 2025, driven by expansions in loans to $635.01 million and deposits to $721.36 million, alongside a net interest margin of 5.22% year-to-date through the second quarter. Earnings for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $2.78 million, or $1.13 per share, reflecting year-over-year improvement from strengthened net interest income amid disciplined lending and deposit relationship strategies, while investments in technology infrastructure, including a new treasury management platform and forthcoming smart safes, enhance client experiences and operational efficiency. The company maintains strong capital positions, with Tier 1 capital at 14.29% of risk-weighted assets as of June 30, 2025, and continues to prioritize credit quality through robust collateral, government guarantees like SBA programs, and a diversified portfolio mitigating concentration risks in real estate and geography.
