KeyBank’s Top Rankings in SBA 7(a) Lending for FY 2023
KeyBank has made it to the list of top 15 lenders in the United States for the number of loans granted under the Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) and 504 lending programs for the fiscal year 2023. KeyBank issued 918 loans amounting to $229 million under the SBA’s primary 7(a) program and an additional 52 loans worth over $58 million under the SBA’s 504 program during this period. This performance placed KeyBank in the 14th and 12th positions nationally among more than 1,500 lenders for the 7(a) and 504 programs respectively.
The SBA’s 7(a) program is designed to assist small businesses with financial needs such as working capital, debt refinancing, and real estate acquisition or improvement. The 504 program, on the other hand, offers long-term, fixed-rate financing for significant fixed assets that stimulate business growth and job creation, including existing buildings, land, new facilities, and long-term machinery and equipment.
Jim Fliss, National Manager of KeyBank’s SBA Program, expressed pride in their team’s performance amidst challenging economic conditions. He emphasized their commitment to understanding their clients’ needs and proactively finding the best solutions for their businesses. KeyBank’s use of both programs demonstrates this commitment.

Since 2015, KeyBank has provided more than $2.6 billion in SBA-guaranteed financing to thousands of small business owners, with over $1.29 billion of this funding occurring in the last four years. Furthermore, KeyBank saw a growth of over 14% in the number of 7(a) units during the SBA’s FY 2023 compared to the previous year.

These small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the communities we so proudly serve here at KeyBank, and they have shown such resiliency in recent years. We are committed to helping more small businesses take advantage of the benefits the SBA lending programs we have to offer,” said Fliss.
