What we don't know
- Whether any lender on this list is taking new loans today.
- Loans made by lenders outside the file this list reads, and loans the file does not cover.
- Anything about a lender that the file does not carry. A lender can appear in the wrong place if its filing is wrong.
SBA figures are approvals. A cancelled approval is excluded here; the reason for a cancellation is unknown.
A ranking is a plain sort of one published measure for one period. It is not a rating of any lender, and a lender can appear in the wrong place if a filing is wrong.
SBA does not require you to use an agent or broker for a loan application. SBA has not reviewed or endorsed this site.
Source and date appear beside each figure. Banks report balances, not loans made. Loans made come only from HMDA and SBA files. We do not audit filings and can make errors joining them. Report a problem
Figures come from public records and show the source and date beside them. Public records can be late, incomplete or wrong. A past loan does not mean a lender will make the same kind of loan today. Confirm anything important with the lender.
