SAN DIEGO, Calif. /CitizenWire/ — Bank of Southern California N.A., a locally owned community business bank, has been recognized as one of the top small business lenders among medium sized banks for the largest number and dollar volume of 7(a) loans in 2012 in the greater San Diego area according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
In addition, Banking Grades, which is a grading tool from Multifunding, a financial advisory provider that ranks every FDIC insured bank based on their commitment to small business lending, continues to issue an A rating to Bank of Southern California for the amount of loans the bank has made to small businesses.
