Reading the record
What Altra Federal Credit Union’s numbers say
Altra Federal Credit Union sits in the long tail of the SBA lending field, having approved 140 loans for a gross total of $37.2M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $96,300 is well below the $180,000 national median, typical of a lender leaning on SBA Express and smaller working-capital facilities.
The median initial note rate across its 7(a) approvals is 6.00%, 0.75 points below the national median of 6.75%. Rate medians drawn across fifteen years reflect the mix of loan sizes and vintages a lender wrote as much as its pricing posture - a lender that grew fastest during a high-rate stretch will look expensive here even if its spread was ordinary.
Of its FY2010-FY2019 approvals that have reached a terminal status, 9.6% were charged off, 2.0 points above the national figure of 7.6%. Read that as a description of the credit box a lender chose, not as a verdict on it: lenders serving newer businesses and thinner files will always show higher losses than those writing large, collateralised acquisition loans.
Roughly 8% of its approvals went to businesses the SBA classified as new rather than existing, against 11% nationally.
