The filing reports total assets of $1.89 billion, an increase from $1.62 billion in the previous year, primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and securities available-for-sale.

The company's net interest income increased to $99.9 million from $83.8 million, driven by higher interest income from loans and securities.
Esquire Financial reported a provision for credit losses of $4.7 million, slightly higher than the $4.5 million reported in the prior year.
Noninterest income decreased to $24.9 million from $29.8 million, with the decline attributed to a decrease in payment processing income and a nonrecurring gain on equity investments in the prior year.
Total noninterest expense increased to $60.8 million from $53.1 million, due to higher employee compensation and benefits, data processing costs, and advertising expenses.
The company’s total deposits increased to $1.64 billion from $1.41 billion, with a focus on acquiring core deposit relationships.
