  • Iowa SBA Top Lender - Women-Owned Businesses

  • Iowa SBA Top Lender – Exporting

  • Iowa SBA Turnaround Lender of the Year

Among SBA 7(a) lenders in the state, LSB ranked second for both number of loans made to Iowa businesses (30) and dollar amount ($15.1 million). LSB made the highest number of SBA loans among Iowa-chartered banks.

In total, including 7(a) loans made to businesses outside of Iowa, LSB made 37 loans totaling more than $19 million.

In addition, LSB made 681 Paycheck Protection Program loans (PPP) to Iowa businesses, representing a $78 million injection into local communities. PPP loans were newly created in 2020 as part of the federal government’s CARES Act coronavirus emergency relief.

This is the second year LSB has achieved high marks in the SBA lending arena. In FYE 2019, it was the top SBA lender in Iowa in terms of total dollar volume, providing more than $15.5 million in capital Infusion.

During the past three years, LSB has expanded its commercial lending team to include a dedicated small business lending staff with expertise in SBA lending programs.

“We want to earn our spot as the best small business lender in Iowa, and eventually, use our expertise to become an SBA lender at the national level."

Additionally, as a result of its fintech partnerships, LSB serves more than two million customers around the nation through its digital payment platform used by fintech companies such as Square, Qapital, Acorns and Q2.
