All sounds Got you my taking good. questions. it. Appreciate

Thomas Capasse

the Appreciate problem. time. No

Operator

of have we Douglas is question Harter next from UBS. The

Douglas Harter

what I other kind would about be was originators opportunity of and is roll talk the hoping what to to you SBA the in channel? continue your appetite could up

Thomas Capasse

XX license, the Yes, it's We of But licenses, the limited hullabaloo X,XXX the we probably punchline participants a because license, facilitated There's interesting. opportunities of Actually, participate. the banks. and we terminated conjunction it'll sorry, the XX that Funding Circle There's maybe are with of be the or -- SBA. the about in SBA of U.S. was -- M&A most there's that banks only very about I'm X,XXX that there the termination non-bank so Congress reallocated. in is lot in

limited. the more acquisition. really, M&A about It's looking at So is

teams, current somewhere the that, where seeing of by let's We pullback from say, we're With a team the brought the was banks, Andrew, just -- to in out specialists. opportunity lift West. on

side -- core and specialist that business, And the the in at large looking respect really fintech, it, of of that's as could of loans businesses, large large Funding the Circle that But to the -- fintech all more $XXX,XXX. what with a where side. loan, smaller that more way unsecured there -- grow of increase the some opportunities will said, to acquisition loan. we're these then SBA, teams. being so-called to origination small we're So most be like way that seeing it be The above in in through products the licenses, the given there's limited on other growth did, the

Douglas Harter

kind growth the the Great. And to you product? that $X about hit kind intermediate of acquisitions, rate integrate then you to do what and think can long-term continue how I once growth long-term guess X of on is you run the deliver or billion

Thomas Capasse

credit where it's depending the you is to itself $X is market the billion? or around USDA? $XX think Well, what SBA is I billion X(a) billion in And maybe another $X $XX upon are Andrew, -- billion, cycle.

Andrew Ahlborn

That's right.

Thomas Capasse

we if $X So run at currently rate -- billion. we're a of

largest the being the Andrew, that driven is loan X.X think is supported goal our, is of So to I by would the higher a leadership to X of around a if in current probably They and with Live XX- X? element, to businesses, about what, SBA is component, there which of Oak. administration. you whatever our the which will, -- run -- target is obviously an -- and lot minority is element a XX-month small get agreement our argue both we by to

in certain more longer businesses. example, in be regions. the constrained pushing by like that as say via, all them over dual XX%, we're Andrew? think we're So small officer our of traditional we're not I large unsecured the on for it, geographic pods, the think the those and based, an we local last billion national, intermediate-term as of, so it's And specialists is Funding not about approach call $X since on had U.S. right, number existing Circle loan, loan And certain the X I borrowers bank, achievable of years? of SBA driver have what growth the for And a amortization industries at the approach, is market. let's in dual these far will The particular, provides around X.X -- growth. big And I based think unique that the of a XX to of originations then loans target, Andrew, to that wax the fintech

Andrew Ahlborn

Correct.

Thomas Capasse

Yes, XX%.

income and accretive given in these because -- it's gain to obviously loans that going at immediately on the secondary refinancing we're to them, able there's risk. strong to those So we're we're sale market, and premiums borrowers, trade obviously, higher to generate going limited refi

think to, this then maybe fully a earnings peer is I we're don't somewhat unique yes, business.
