Popular Bank has a significant focus on 504 loans, with 43% of their total SBA deals being 504s. This is much higher than the national average of around 18%. If you're looking for real estate financing or expansion, this lender is a strong option.
The average deal size at Popular Bank is $588,055, which indicates they cater to mid-sized businesses. If your financing needs fall within this range, you may find a good fit here, especially since they have a strong presence in states like Florida and New York.
Popular Bank's year-over-year growth trend shows a decline of 38%, with a drop from 13 deals in the previous four quarters to only 8 in the last. This may indicate a tightening in their lending capacity, so securing financing could be more competitive.
