Sunrise Banks is a recipient of the SBA MN Lender Award for the second year in a row and one of 12 banks to receive the recognition in 2019.

Sunrise is being recognized as having the highest participation in SBA-backed loan programs for a bank of its size, with just over $1 billion in total assets.

The bank will be honored on Sept. 13 at the seventh annual SBA Lenders Conference along with the 11 other award recipients.

“We know that without capital small businesses struggle to survive,” said SBA Minnesota District Director Nancy Libersky. “This is why we work so hard to ensure the funding tap doesn’t run dry. But we can’t do it alone. Using SBA loan programs, these organizations are helping small businesses succeed every day and it’s wonderful to be able to honor their efforts supporting our state’s economy.”

Sunrise Banks’ SBA department offers 7(a), Express and 504 loans to clients in the Twin Cities.

“Small businesses represent the lifeblood of our community, and the bank prides itself on helping entrepreneurs who bolster the local economy by providing necessary goods and services,” said Sunrise Banks CEO David Reiling. “We’re pleased to be recognized by the SBA’s Minnesota District and proud of the work our SBA lending team has done.”
