  • : First published, with the data built on this date.

For banks the book shown is nonfarm nonresidential loans of $1M or less. For credit unions it is the non-owner-occupied commercial real estate book, where the average loan is $1M or less.

Small-balance commercial real estate means loans of about $1M or less. A lender with many of them often works with smaller borrowers.

This is a rule of thumb on public filings. It is not a statement from any lender about what it will lend on.

Growth appears only where a book grew over the 12 months. Each lender's own page has its full record.

A lender counts here if it has a small-balance commercial real estate book (banks: 40% or more of it in loans of $1M or less; credit unions: an average non-owner-occupied loan of $1M or less) and has an office in Alabama. Lenders that merged or stopped filing are left out.

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.
