WASHINGTON, DC, USA – On Wednesday, April 6th the Office of International Trade held its 9th Annual SBA Export Lenders’ Roundtable at the World Trade Center, Washington DC (Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center). This annual event provided in-depth discussions on how SBA export loan programs can be used to expand a lender’s portfolio by financing businesses to develop and succeed in international markets. 

More than 70 lenders participated in discussions ranging from how to integrate SBA export products within a bank’s product lines to the recent developments with the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. As part of SBA’s continuing efforts to highlight our customer’s success, the Administrator presented awards to GBC International Bank of Los Angeles, and BanescoUSA, a community bank with headquarters in Coral Gables, Florida as the 2016 Export Lender of the Year and Export Working Capital Lender of the Year, respectively.
