This site is not Stearns Bank

sbaexpress.loans is not Stearns Bank, and Stearns Bank did not provide, review or pay for this page. Janover Capital LLC runs this site. Every figure on this page comes from SBA's public 7(a) loan file, not from Stearns Bank.

These are the 71 SBA 7(a) loans Stearns Bank made in Minnesota approved October 2019 to June 2026. Each figure is set against all of its loans in the U.S. over the same period. State is where the business is, not where the lender is based. The file lists loans SBA approved, so it shows what the lender has done and not what it will do for you. Every state page for this lender uses this same period, so the pages can be compared with each other.

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 We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans.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. Location is the borrower's address in the file. Loans are those approved October 1, 2019 to June 30, 2026. SBA's fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30. Each figure is set against the national figure for the same period. A gap is called clear when it is large enough to matter and unlikely to be chance for this many loans. A comparison with no clear gap in the loans is not published. Express counts SBA Express and Export Express loans. Lines of credit are loans SBA's file flags as revolving. How we build these pages.
