# SBA Express lender badges **Short answer:** A lender earns a badge by ranking in the top 10 in a state by SBA Express loans in SBA's file, with at least 10 loans. Badges are free and are computed only from that file. They are never for sale. Canonical page: https://www.sbaexpress.loans/badges/ Data as of: 2026-06-30 Last checked: 2026-11-09 ## How a lender earns a badge A lender earns a badge in a state when both of these are true for the SBA Express loans in SBA's loan file: - It ranks in the top 10 in that state by number of SBA Express loans. - It made at least 10 SBA Express loans in that state. The count covers loans approved from FY2024 through June 30, 2026, the date of SBA's newest file. Loans SBA marks as cancelled are removed. Only loans with the processing method 'SBA Express Program' count, so Export Express and other 7(a) loans do not. State is where the business is, which is the project state in the file. Ties in loans are broken by approved dollars. Lenders that match on both share a rank. A closed bank keeps its place in the order, but gets no badge, because a badge describes a lender you can use today. ## Badges are never for sale A badge cannot be bought. No fee, partnership, referral arrangement or advertising can earn one, keep one or change a rank. Lenders do not apply. Janover Capital LLC earns referral fees from partners, as our [advertiser disclosure](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/advertiser-disclosure/) says, and those partners get no treatment here that any other lender does not get. The rank is arithmetic on SBA's public file. Anyone can check it against the file. ## What a badge means A badge means a lender made many SBA Express loans in a state. It does not mean it is the best lender for you, that it offers the lowest rate, or that it will approve your loan. The file lists approved loans only, so it cannot show approval odds. For more on a lender, see its page in [the lender list](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/sba-express-lenders/). Rank moves as SBA posts new quarterly files. We rebuild the badges with each file. If a lender falls out of the top 10, its badge URL keeps working, but the image stops showing a rank and says to see current figures instead. ## Examples Each badge shows its rank, the state and the count behind the rank. ![The Huntington National Bank is the No. 1 SBA Express lender in Ohio by loans approved, FY2024 through June 30, 2026, ranked from SBA's loan file by sbaexpress.loans.](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/badges/the-huntington-national-bank-ohio.svg) The Huntington National Bank: No. 1 in Ohio.

Live badge, the same file a lender embeds. ## Embed code Each lender page with a badge lists its embed code. Copy it into your site's HTML. The code below is the live example for The Huntington National Bank. ``` The Huntington National Bank is the No. 1 SBA Express lender in Ohio by loans approved, FY2024 through June 30, 2026, ranked from SBA's loan file by sbaexpress.loans. ``` Please keep the image as published. Do not change the rank, the text or the colors, and do not add words that say the SBA endorses you. The badge file changes when the data changes, so it always shows the current rank. ## The No. 1 lender in each state **Highest-ranked lender with a badge in each place, FY2024 to the file date** |
