The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, was 1.31%, 1.31%, and 1.25%, respectively. We recorded a $4.3 million provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, and $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Non-interest income decreased $804,000, or 9.0%, to $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 from $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, and decreased $447,000, or 5.2%, on a linked quarter basis. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $271,000, or 14.3%, to $2.2 million from the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023, and increased $21,000, or 1.0%, on a linked quarter basis.

The increase in the linked quarter is primarily attributed to higher incentive accruals.

The year-over-year increase is primarily attributed to new leases that began after the third quarter of 2022.

The FDIC increased the assessment rate by two basis points beginning in the first quarter of 2023. Other operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $2.8 million, or 26.3%, to $7.8 million from $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, and increased $1.6 million, or 25.7%, on a linked-quarter basis. During the third quarter of 2022 we reached a preliminary settlement on a lawsuit and wrote down the value of a private investment resulting in charges of $3.1 million, or $2.4 million net of income tax. The efficiency ratio was 38.64% during the third quarter of 2023 compared to 31.54% during the third quarter of 2022 and 35.02% during the second quarter of 2023.
Income tax expense decreased $4.5 million, or 34.4%, to $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, mostly due to lower pretax net income.
