The First Bank

The First Bank appears in the SBA PPP loan-level file with 5,820 loans and $457.9 million in approved dollars, an average of $78,672 a loan. That is 0.051% of the 11,468,171 loans the file records, rank 242 of the 500 largest lenders by approved dollars and rank 194 by loan count. Borrowers on those loans reported 61,914 jobs, 10.6 a loan, and $7,395 of approved dollars for each reported job. The archive was not searched for this name: it is a common bank name and a title match would not identify this lender.

Named in the archive

The archive was not searched for this lender. Its name is made only of words that many banks share, so a title match would not tell this lender from another.

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.
