Banner Bank: SBA Lending Record

What SBA's own loan files show about Banner Bank as an SBA lender, and how a lender's record bears on a feasibility study.

Banner as holder

Banner Bank holds 2,505 loans for FY2017 to FY2026. At Banner, the gross dollars approved are $588.1 million. Not one of the 2,505 at Banner is an SBA 504 loan; all 2,505 are SBA 7(a). Banner: state of record Washington. Banner is shown as holder of 2,505 loans at last record, or now. At Banner, SBA stands behind the 2,505. A loan Banner passed on no longer shows under Banner.

Banner: named classes

2,042 of the 2,505 loans at Banner are unplaced. That limits Banner's class view. Banner: full-service restaurant first, at 112, limited-service restaurant at 58, then coffee shop and snack bar at 46. Further at Banner: beverage manufacturing at 38, then rehabilitation and therapy clinic at 29, next automotive mechanical repair at 24. Last at Banner: dental office at 23, gas station and truck stop at 17, then medical office at 16. Also at Banner: fitness center at 16; beauty salon at 15, grocery store at 13. With 2,042 unplaced loans in front, Banner offers class evidence for part of 2,505.

Banner: states

The largest state for Banner is Washington at 1,280 loans, then California with 609 and Oregon with 461. The Banner table continues through Idaho at 139 and Alaska at 5. For Banner, 2,505 loans show holdings, not a lending territory.

Banner: the floors

Banner's FY2017 to FY2024 approvals: 5.0% or more cancelled, a floor among 2,505. Banner ceiling: 5.7%, counting undisbursed loans as cancelled. For Banner, 1,308 loans were disbursed in FY2017 to FY2021; 3.1% or more are charged off to date, 2.4% inside five years of approval. 3.1% at Banner is a floor. Open Banner loans can still be charged off.

Banner: how to read it

The Banner record gives a book's shape. 2,505 loans mark where Banner holds SBA loans. 5.0% cancelled marks where Banner approvals fell away, a floor for 2,505. Neither figure decides a Banner request. A Banner request has own demand and cost. The Banner study should say which of the 2,505 loans resemble the project. For Banner, it should name differences. 2,505 loans, read plainly, give Banner a fair view. A floor of 5.0% is history for Banner, not a forecast.

Banner: study to bring

A borrower weighing Banner should treat 2,505 loans as context, not a promise from Banner. In full-service restaurant, Banner shows 112 loans as a reference point. Banner: the study tests sales per seat. Banner needs labour cost tested too. Show Banner coverage in a slow year too. Banner needs an appraisal that supports it. Banner offers just 2,042 unplaced loans for an unnamed type. Banner's study makes the case. Banner holds 1,280 loans in Washington. Elsewhere, Banner holdings need a reason. Cancelled at Banner: a floor of 5.0%. Approval is not funding. A Banner study should hold up under delay.

SBA loans held by Banner Bank

SBA guarantees these loans; the lender does not. The lender's name and every figure come from the U.S. Small Business Administration's public 7(a) and 504 FOIA file (data.sba.gov).

7(a) lender is the bank or lender the loan is currently assigned to (or last held it), as SBA records it; 504 lender is the Certified Development Company (CDC). 504 third-party (first-lien) lenders are free text with no identifier and are not credited.

Cancellation and charge-off

Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor)5.0%
The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling)5.7%
Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor)3.1%
Charged off within five years of approval2.4%
Loans in that cohort1,308

Both rates are floors. SBA withholds the status of open loans, so a loan counts as charged off only once SBA reports it; a rate needs at least 30 loans in its cohort and is otherwise not reported.
