Umpqua Bank’s market share for deposits in Jackson County has grown to 14.78% of the county’s almost $2.8 billion in deposits.
With a string of recent acquisitions, Umpqua Bank now has the largest market share of deposits in Jackson County.
Umpqua holds 14.78% of the county’s almost $2.8 billion in deposits.
“Under the circumstances we’ve seen in the banking industry the past couple of years, it’s a testimony to Umpqua’s strength and safety and a response to our culture and what we do in the community,” said Neal Brown, Umpqua’s executive vice president and regional community bank manager. “It’s been a tough two or three years and the fact we’re stronger than we were three years ago may be a reflection of what we’ve seen in the numbers.”

They are also taking out fewer loans out of uncertainty and using more of their cash (that would otherwise be in bank accounts).”
