🌟 The Personal Touch in Small Business Lending: Highlights from the FDIC Survey 🌟 Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, so it's a great time to acknowledge the big impact small businesses have on our economy! Small businesses account for 46% of private sector employment and 43% of gross domestic product. That’s why insights reported by the FDIC’s Small Business Lending Survey are so important. The survey reveals that while technology is on the rise, banks continue to prioritize personal interactions in SMB lending. Here are some key findings: • In-Person Focus: Nearly all small banks emphasize face-to-face meetings, with 9 in 10 having loan decision-makers meet applicants.  • Loan Approval Speed: Many community banks can approve small loans within 5 days, with some making decisions in just one day. Speed is key! • Limited Automation: Only 1 in 10 banks use credit scoring systems to partially automate underwriting, and very few offer fully online loan applications. The good news? There are proven ways to automate while keeping the personal touch needed in SMB lending. • Soft Information Use: Small banks rely heavily on loan officer assessments and other soft information, unlike larger banks. There are ways technology can support this with greater accuracy and consistency! Read more about how small banks are leveraging personal relationships in lending in this recent piece from BankBeat! https://lnkd.in/gS7HtahA #CommunityBanking #SmallBusinessLending #RelationshipBanking
