The six banks named Central Bank

SBA's file gives each loan an originating-lender location ID. Matching those IDs by name, state and city to bank regulators' 2020–21 call-report rosters assigns them to six banks, each with its own page. Loans, dollars, jobs and fees add up to the combined row. Borrowers do not: a borrower with loans from two of these banks counts once in the combined row and once at each bank.

Data and method

Totals come from SBA's PPP loan-level file (FOIA release of 2024-09-30); ranks are among its 4,688 named originating lenders. Modeled fees are computed loan by loan from SBA's published fee schedule, because SBA never published what it paid each lender. Jobs are self-reported; dollars are approved, not disbursed; the totals leave out 39 source rows. The per-lender totals page has the full method.
