NEW CASTLE, IN, January 9, 2023: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) recently announced a record dollar volume of SBA-backed loans to Indiana businesses in Fiscal Year 2022 (FY 22). “During FY 22, SBA helped Indiana entrepreneurs access over $925 million through our traditional 7(a) and 504 loan programs—an increase of $15 million from FY 21 totals. The 504 loan volume saw an incredible 32% increase in FY 22 over the FY 21 record year. We couldn’t have achieved these record numbers without the hard work and dedication to small business growth from our SBA lending partners. We are grateful for their support and look forward to the continued growth of this collaborative partnership,” said SBA Indiana District Director Stacey Poynter.
In that environment, Citizens State Bank is proud to announce the Bank earned Community Lender - Bronze for FY 22. 1st Source Bank (81 locations) earned Gold, while Centier Bank (58 offices) earned Silver. “This was a tremendous team effort that reflects us living our mission,” announced John P. DeLucia, Chief Lending Officer. Kirby Purciful, President, added, “This is a great accomplishment for a community bank and proof that being committed to our clients’ financial success - while supporting our team members - is a powerful combination.”
