Named in the archive
Archive pages are matched to lenders by name, and the name Mechanics Bank covers two banks, so none is assigned to this bank. No court filing or source document carries the name in its title or description.
Data and method
Totals come from SBA's PPP loan-level file (FOIA release of 2024-09-30), summed over the loans whose originating-lender location IDs were matched by name, state and city to this bank in the FFIEC call-report rosters (2020 Q2 to 2021 Q4); ranks in this archive are by SBA lender name, so this page carries none. 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 per-lender totals page has the full method.
