Who is this open to — anyone, or only residents/members?
This bank primarily serves small business owners in Wisconsin, but their SBA loan programs can support businesses across the region, provided they meet qualification criteria.
What minimum personal credit score does this bank look for in a guarantor?
Many SBA lenders look for a personal score around 640 or higher, but each bank sets its own bar and it changes. Ask Security Financial Bank what it looks for today.
How long does the traditional underwriting process take from start to close?
Typically, the underwriting process takes approximately 30 to 45 days, depending on the complexity of the application and completeness of documentation.

Who owns or operates this listing?
This page is an independent directory listing for Security Financial Bank, an SBA-participating bank. It is maintained by SBA Lenders USA to help borrowers compare lenders — not by Security Financial Bank itself, which runs its own lending under its own ownership. If you work at Security Financial Bank, you can claim this listing from this page to manage it.
How current is the information on this page?
The core details for Security Financial Bank — name, location, contact, and lender type — are compiled from public records and reviewed periodically. Rates, programs, credit policies, and hours change often and are not guaranteed here, so always confirm the latest terms directly with Security Financial Bank before applying. If you represent Security Financial Bank, claim this listing to keep its information up to date.
How do I contact this listing directly?
You can reach Security Financial Bank by phone at (715) 672-4237 or online at www.sfbank.com — the same details are in the contact card on this page.
What core industries does this commercial bank traditionally choose to finance?
Based on its approved SBA loans, Security Financial Bank most often finances businesses in manufacturing, construction & contractors, general retail, transportation & trucking, restaurants & food service, and fitness & recreation. This reflects Security Financial Bank's real SBA 7(a) and 504 lending history rather than a stated policy — it can still consider other industries and sets its own current preferences, so confirm with Security Financial Bank which sectors it actively lends to before you apply.
Can I apply for an SBA Express line of credit at this branch?
SBA Express offers lines of credit and term loans up to $500,000 with a faster turnaround than standard 7(a) loans. Whether Security Financial Bank participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact Security Financial Bank and ask if it offers SBA Express and what the current limits and terms look like for your situation.
Does this bank have Preferred Lender Provider status with the government?
Whether Security Financial Bank has SBA Preferred Lender (PLP) status is set by the SBA. Ask the bank directly; PLP lenders can approve in-house and often move faster.
Are start-up companies eligible for financing at this traditional institution?
The SBA does fund start-ups, but many traditional lenders prefer at least two years of operating history and may ask newer ventures for a larger equity injection or stronger collateral. Security Financial Bank's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Security Financial Bank directly whether it considers start-up loans.
What are the typical down payment expectations for commercial real estate acquisitions?
For SBA 7(a) and 504 commercial real estate loans, borrowers typically contribute around 10% to 20% as a down payment or equity injection, depending on the property and the deal. Exact requirements vary with your credit, the business, and the lender's policy. Ask Security Financial Bank what down payment it expects for your specific commercial real estate purchase.
Does this bank impose prepayment penalties on short-term working capital facilities?
SBA 7(a) loans with terms under 15 years generally carry no prepayment penalty, while longer real estate loans can have one in the early years. Short-term working capital lines often have no penalty, but terms vary by lender. Review your loan agreement and ask Security Financial Bank to spell out any prepayment penalties before you sign.
Can I use loan proceeds from this bank to buy out an existing equity partner?
SBA loans can be used for a partner or owner buyout, including buying out an existing equity partner, when the deal is structured to meet SBA rules — for example, the remaining owner generally must stay actively involved. Approval depends on the specifics, so discuss your buyout plan with Security Financial Bank to confirm it qualifies and how to document it.
Will historical personal bankruptcies automatically disqualify my loan application here?
A past personal bankruptcy does not automatically disqualify you from an SBA loan. Lenders look at how long ago it was discharged, the circumstances, and how your credit has recovered since. Security Financial Bank weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Security Financial Bank how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
