According to Wide Bay, lending increased by 17.7 per cent to $266 million for the six-month period.
It said demand for loans had been steady and that demand has continued into 2008.
Wide Bay also said its policy for non-involvement with higher risk low doc sub-prime loans and reverse mortgages had proven to be a correct decision by its directors.
“Almost all of the [Wide Bay] loan book carries full mortgage insurance,” the mutual said.
“The focus for the next few months will be to continue the strong lending program and growth of the loan book.”
