How charge-offs are counted
We count only loans approved October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2022 (FY2020 to FY2022). Newer loans have not had time to go bad. A charge-off means the lender wrote the loan off as a loss. The rate by loans is charged-off loans divided by approved loans. The rate by dollars is the charged-off balance divided by approved dollars. Both run through June 30, 2026.
The two rates can differ widely for a lender that writes many small loans. A small loan adds one to the count but little to the dollars.
