Columbia Bank announced it was recognized as the leading Small Business Administration (SBA) lender by the SBA's Portland and Seattle area district offices. The rankings cover the federal fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2021 and are based on the number of loans made by each bank during the period. During the past year, Columbia Bank provided 186 loans to small businesses in the Seattle region and moved up a spot from a year earlier to become the No. 1 ranked SBA lender in the district. In the Portland district, Columbia Bank made 191 SBA loans. This is the fourth consecutive year the bank has been ranked first by the SBA's Portland District Office. Nationally, Columbia Bank now ranks 18. Headquartered in Tacoma, Columbia Banking System is the holding company of Columbia Bank, a Washington state-chartered full-service commercial bank with locations throughout Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
