The issue with being a small bank is that it is relatively easy to get a Satisfactory CRA rating (as compared to ISB or Large Bank) but almost impossible to obtain an Outstanding.
Your CD lending really doesn't help you as far as the Satisfactory goes unless you have a unique challenge in meeting your Assessment Area In/Out percentage. I know of one small bank with only one branch located in a very small, sparsely populated non-MSA county, so the majority of their loans were outside of that Assessment Area. Because of this situation, the bank's numerous community development activities were considered.
You can present these loans to the examienrs, and they will probably note them in your Evaluation, but unless it the number and dollar amounts are extraordinary, you'll probably still end up with a Satisfactory.
