Reading the record

What JPMorgan Chase Bank’s numbers say

JPMorgan Chase Bank sits near the top of the SBA lending field, having approved 44,082 loans for a gross total of $8.49B since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $95,000 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 7.40%, 0.65 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, 7.8% were charged off, right at the national figure. 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 2% of its approvals went to businesses the SBA classified as new rather than existing, against 11% nationally - a book weighted toward established operators.
