SBA loans held by First Commonwealth 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.
| Loans approved, FY2017 to FY2026 | 1,513 |
|---|---|
| Gross dollars approved | $1.03 billion |
| SBA 7(a) loans | 1,513 |
| SBA 504 loans | 0 |
Cancellation and charge-off
| Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor) | 12.1% |
|---|---|
| The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling) | 12.7% |
| Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor) | 4.4% |
| Charged off within five years of approval | 1.8% |
| Loans in that cohort | 564 |
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.
