Most Active SBA Banks in 2019 – Mid-year review

The SBA just recently received the most active SBA banks for the first half of 2019. The familiar suspects – Live Oak,  Wells Fargo, and Huntington Bank top the list in terms of loan volume. Live Oak Bank,  was well ahead of second place Wells Fargo in terms of loan volume. Live Oak achieved this goal with an average loan size of almost $1.5 million. Live Oak is more comfortable doing bigger loans than some of its banking peers as its SBA bank loans focus only on a dozen of so niches. When ranking loan activity by number of loans approved, Huntington Bank actually issued appropriately four times as many loans as Live Oak.

The top 100 most active are below. If you are looking for a small business SBA loan for your business, there is no better place to look than than this table of the most active SBA banks for 7(a) loans:
