Disciplined Credit Underwriting: Maintaining a conservative approach to lending practices, resulting in strong asset quality and reduced loan loss exposure across their portfolio.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Risk: The bank's net interest margin and profitability are highly sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates, which can impact asset yields and funding costs.
Credit Quality Deterioration Risk: Defaults on loans within its portfolio, particularly in real estate and commercial lending, could lead to significant loan losses and impact asset quality.
Liquidity Management Risk: Inability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet funding obligations, such as deposit withdrawals or loan demand, could disrupt operations and increase funding costs.
