SBA loans held by City National Bank

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.

Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor)19.2%
The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling)19.2%
Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor)0.00%
Charged off within five years of approval0.00%

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.
