Smaller lenders lead both PPP rounds: data

Lenders under $10 billion in assets have made more than 2.26 million Paycheck Protection Program loans worth more than $224 billion through both rounds of funding, the Small Business Administration reported.

According to an SBA summary of loan approvals through June 6, lenders from $10 billion to $50 billion in assets made more than 704,000 loans worth nearly $100 billion. Combined, the two asset classes account for more than 65 percent of approved loans and more than 63 percent of the approved dollar amount.
