This significant milestone enables Securityplus to offer SBA loans to small businesses, empowering and enabling local businesses to achieve their goals while contributing to the economic development of its communities.

As an SBA approved lender, Securityplus can now offer enhanced lending options, including the popular SBA 7(a) loan program.

This includes investing in inclusive opportunities for Greater Baltimore businesses and employers as key contributors to the financial health of the local community and economy. Our commitment to partnering with local small businesses and nurturing the economic viability of the communities we serve by launching our SBA lending program is a significant step forward in realizing our vision toward a financially healthy Baltimore. We can now directly have a positive impact on the success and expansion of local businesses and the many individuals and families they serve," said Tricia Szurgot, Chief Executive Officer of Securityplus Federal Credit Union.
