The net interest margin increased by twenty-six basis points to 3.37% for the first nine months of 2021, compared to 3.11% for the first nine months of 2020.
Changes to the net interest margin were impacted by the changes in the yield on average earning assets, primarily lower yields on loans, offset by lower cost of funds.

This increase was primarily related to higher levels of interchange fee income and mortgage loan fee income.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses decreased by $425,456 or 16.19% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021. While expenses related to salaries and benefits increased quarter-over-quarter due to growth opportunities the bank has experienced, this increase was offset by the reduction in data processing expenses associated with the core data processor conversion that occurred during the second quarter of 2021.
Noninterest expenses increased by $422,730 or 23.76% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020. Period-over-period noninterest expenses increased as a result of new positions in 2021, the strategic decision to increase advertising efforts throughout our market area and the costs related to reorganization of the bank into a holding company.
