Reading the record

What Star Bank’s numbers say

Star Bank sits in the long tail of the SBA lending field, having approved 30 loans for a gross total of $2.6M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $47,750 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 6.75%, essentially the national median. 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.

Roughly 8% of its approvals went to businesses the SBA classified as new rather than existing, against 11% nationally.
