| --- | --- | --- |
| Through SBA Express | 80.0% | 35.8% |

A line of credit lets a business draw money, repay it and draw again. SBA's file flags these loans as revolving.

What SBA Express means

An SBA Express loan can be up to $500,000. On these loans, the lender makes the credit decision without prior SBA review.

## Starting rates and spread over Prime

The median starting rate on this lender's loans approved from October 2023 to June 2026 was 9.70%. The median spread was 2 percentage points over Prime. For all lenders the medians were 10.25% and 2.75 percentage points over Prime.

Both its median starting rate and its median spread were lower than the all-lender medians.

The starting rate follows Prime on the day a loan was approved. The spread over Prime is the steadier way to compare lenders and years. Spread is measured on variable-rate loans only.

SBA's ceiling on variable rates

For variable-rate loans, SBA caps the rate at Prime plus 3.0 to 6.5 percentage points, depending on loan size. Today's ceilings by loan size are on the [rates page](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/rates/).

## Loans by year

From FY2024 to FY2025, the number of loans fell 36% (14 to 9). Across all lenders it rose 2.4%.

SBA loans approved by fiscal year

- FY2020: Fewer than 5
- FY2021: Fewer than 5
- FY2022: 8
- FY2023: 5
- FY2024: 14
- FY2025: 9
- FY2026 (through June 30): Fewer than 5

SBA's fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30. FY2026 covers October 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 only. Fewer than 5 marks a year whose count we do not publish.

## Charge-offs

0.0%: Charged off, by loans

0.0%: Charged off, by dollars

12: Loans approved FY2020 to FY2022

Planters Bank and Trust Company approved 12 loans from October 2019 to September 2022. By June 30, 2026, none had been charged off. By loans that is lower than the 3.6% for all lenders. By dollars the rate was 0.0%, against 0.9% for all lenders.

That is a small group, so one or two losses move the rate a lot. Treat it as a rough guide.

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.

SBA's file covers approved loans only. This says nothing about how often applications are approved.

How to read this

Counts come from SBA's 7(a) loan-level data release, as of June 30, 2026. The file lists loans SBA approved. It does not list declined applications, so it cannot show approval odds. We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans. A lender's past loans do not describe its current credit policy. Recent loans were approved October 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The full file starts October 1, 2019. SBA's fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30. Express counts SBA Express and Export Express loans. Spread over Prime is measured on variable-rate loans. This lender has 25 loans in the period shown, so its medians and shares can swing on a few loans. [How we build these pages](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/method/).
