Credit Card Small Business Lending!
≒ Identify credit card small business loan specialists  large institutions
typically, but do data limitations impede analysis?

≒ Hypothesis: more credit card lending in disadvantaged counties with
less creditworthy small businesses and less access overall to loans.

≒ Is credit card lending correlated (neg. or pos.) with overall small
business lending?

≒ Anomalies occur: large market share in attainment counties

≒ Market share increased in distressed counties !

SBA Lending!
≒ 7a   and 504 not targeting disadvantaged counties

≒ Microloan program is better at targeting, but smaller than
7a

≒ Access for minorities for 7a is better than access for
females  females not being targeted in disadvantaged
counties

≒ Important: Publicly available data by race/ethnicity and
gender for SBA lending but not for CRA lending
!
!
Creating Jobs in Our Neighborhoods!




Current Small Business Loan Data!
≒ Disclosed as part of the CRA regulations!
≒ For aggregate, disclosure by census tract!
≒ For individual lenders, disclosure by income category of
tract!
≒ Dollar size of loans in categories!
≒ Two revenue size categories  above and below $1 million
in revenues!
≒ Revenue size not disclosed if revenue of small business
not used in decision!
≒ That s about ituseful but quite limited!
!

Section 1071  Small Business Loan
Collection  Dodd Frank!
The purpose of this section is to facilitate enforcement of fair
lending laws and enable communities, governmental
entities, and creditors to identify business and community
development needs and opportunities of women-owned,
minority-owned, and small businesses.!
!
Creating Jobs in our Neighborhoods!




Dodd-Frank Section 1071 - !
≒ Open  ended on which institutions required to
report, can include non-banks!
≒ CFPB will have discretion to decide which
institutions will have exemption from reporting!
≒ Big deal in Appalachia  mid size banks ($250 to
$1 billion), but they are just voluntary reporters
don t know yet how much of the loan data is from
mid-size banks. Our previous report for ARC in
2007 found signi鍖cant role for mid-size banks
before their data reporting requirement was deleted.!
!
Creating Jobs in Our Neighborhoods!




    Dodd-Frank Section 1071  Small Business
    Loan Data!
≒ Demographics  Race and gender of the small business
owner, revenue size of business; census tract!
≒ Type and purpose of loan  Possibilities are credit card,
origination, re鍖nance, govt. guaranteed!
≒ Action taken on application; amount of credit limit approved!
≒ Data availability  must retained for three years and made
available in form prescribed by the CFPB!
≒ Discretion for CFPB  to add data elements which ful鍖ll
purposes of Sec1071 or delete elements to protect privacy
of borrowers!

!
!
Creating Jobs in Our Neighborhoods!




Enhancements to Small Business Data Critical!

≒ Assess if credit needs are being met for various demographic
categories of small businesses & identify missed business opportunities!

≒ Better enforce fair lending laws!

≒ Enhance studies like ARC that seek to identify if private sector and
public sector programs are meeting needs and direct actors to
addressing gaps in access!
!
≒ Next generation of small business data  include information like
creditworthiness like new HMDA data; collateral like LTV for new HMDA
data?!
