CBC National Bank named “Top Community Bank SBA Lender in North Florida for Fiscal Year 2015”

May 23, 2016

CBC National Bank, headquartered in Fernandina Beach and with branches in Fernandina Beach, Ocala and The Villages, Fla., and Beaufort and Port Royal, S.C., today announced that the bank has again been recognized as the No. 1 ranked community bank U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) lender in the north Florida district in total dollar volume and number of loans (and was ranked No. 2 in the state).

“I want to thank and congratulate the lenders that have made outstanding contributions in the North Florida area,” said Wilfredo J. Gonzalez, North Florida District Director. “We have increased lending in the district over the past few years, and I hope to see that growth continue. Our lenders help small businesses create and maintain jobs, and that has a direct impact on local communities.”

Fiscal Year 2015 Lender Award Winners were recognized at the 24th Annual Small Business Week Celebration on May 5, 2016, in Jacksonville at the University of North Florida’s University Center. The event was hosted by the Small Business Development Center.

In October, the U.S. Small Business Administration named the bank’s SBA lending division among the 100 most active SBA 7(a) lenders of fiscal year 2015. CBC National Bank ranked 69th nationally in lending volume, funding 48 loans totaling $57,860,500.

The bank also launched a new Georgia SBA lending operation in October to serve the needs of the growing market for SBA loans in the metropolitan Atlanta and Georgia markets, and will continue to ramp up that operation throughout 2016.

“Our SBA lending division continues to demonstrate outstanding performance in meeting the vital needs of small-business customers,” said Charles Wagner, president of CBC National Bank. “Being named again as the top community bank SBA lender in North Florida and among the 100 most active SBA lenders for fiscal year 2015 is well-deserved recognition for our organization.”
