  • •SBA is a sideline here — this year's production is a rounding error against the loan book. Your deal competes with everything else they'd rather fund; a specialist bank will usually move faster. That makes Bell Bank more SBA-focused than 44% of the banks on our record.
  • •Deposits shrank last quarter — worth asking early how much new-loan appetite they have right now.
  • •Return on assets of 0.93% — under the ~1% mark generally considered strong for a bank. How any of this translates to your rate is a question for the loan officer — pricing is set deal by deal.
