Reading the record

What Citizens State Bank of New Castle’s numbers say

Citizens State Bank of New Castle sits in the long tail of the SBA lending field, having approved 195 loans for a gross total of $59.8M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $150,000 is close to the $180,000 national median.

The median initial note rate across its 7(a) approvals is 8.00%, 1.25 points above 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, 3.9% were charged off, 3.7 points below 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 37% of its approvals with a recorded business age went to startups or businesses two years old or less, against 27% nationally - a meaningfully greater appetite for startups than the average SBA lender.
