| --- | --- | --- |
| Through SBA Express | 11.3% | 38.5% |

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

SBA's file gives no starting-rate median across several years. Prime moved too much between 2019 and 2026 for one figure to mean anything.

United Prairie Bank approved 97 loans from October 2019 to June 2026. The median spread on those loans was 1.24 percentage points over Prime, against 2.6 percentage points over Prime for all lenders.

Fewer than 5 loans were approved from October 2023 to June 2026, so there is no recent starting rate to show.

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

SBA loans approved by fiscal year

- FY2020: 32
- FY2021: 57
- FY2022: Fewer than 5
- FY2023: Fewer than 5
- FY2024: 0
- FY2025: 0
- 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 Fewer than 5 marks a year whose count we do not publish.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

90: Loans approved FY2020 to FY2022

United Prairie Bank approved 90 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.

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.
