Reading the record
What Unity National Bank of Houston’s numbers say
Unity National Bank of Houston sits in the long tail of the SBA lending field, having approved 46 loans for a gross total of $27.3M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $307,500 is substantially larger than the $180,000 national median, a pattern that usually signals a focus on real-estate-backed or acquisition deals rather than small working-capital notes.
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.
Roughly 58% 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.
