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.

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.
