Abstract: The FDIC Small Business Lending Survey is a survey of FDIC-insured depository institutions (commercial banks and savings institutions, referred to henceforth as “banks”) that is designed to yield heretofore unavailable nationally representative estimates that will describe small business lending conducted by banks. The survey will provide new information on the banks’ small business customers, types of loans extended, perceived competition, competitive advantage, and market areas for small business lending. In addition to questions on small business lending, the survey will include some questions related to consumer transaction accounts.
