Savings Institutions and Other Depository Credit Intermediation

NAICS 522180 · Credit Intermediation and Related Activities · SBA size standard: Not established

Savings institutions and similar depository credit intermediaries accept deposits, underwrite and service consumer and small-business loans, and manage compliance with lending and banking regulations. Specialists turn inbound applications into verified files, verified files into underwriting and closing schedules, schedules into funding and disbursement, and track ongoing servicing, payments, escrow and renewals. Loan policies, interest-rate decisions and final approvals stay with licensed staff.
