Open Bank: floors and study

FY2017 to FY2024 approvals: 6.5% cancelled after approval, a floor. Ceiling 6.5%, identical to the floor. 1.5% of the 749 loans disbursed in FY2017 to FY2021 show as charged off, a floor. Open Bank's five-year charge-off rate is held back. Loan Analytics' small-group standard keeps it out where groups are small. Do not read it as zero; the page does not guess. 6.5% cancelled means approval is not funding. 1.5% charged off in 749 loans: cash flow must hold. At Open Bank, test one is site demand. At Open Bank, test two is full project cost. For Open Bank, test three is debt service coverage. At Open Bank, test four is the appraisal.

Open Bank's book gives a lender $2.09 billion gross across 1,384 loans. Open Bank's file hands a borrower 1,384 holdings and no terms. The 1,384 loans cannot show how Open Bank would treat a request. 294 Hotel and motel loans come first. Open Bank shows holdings and little else. Open Bank borrowers need a study that stands alone. The record stops at 1,384 loans held by Open Bank.

SBA loans held by Open 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)6.5%
The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling)6.5%
Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor)1.5%

Loans in that cohort749

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.
