United States Small Business Administration (SBA) as an official
lender for the SBA Preferred Lender Program (PLP). Only the most
active and experienced lenders qualify for this SBA lending
program. "The SBA PLP designation allows us to streamline the
underwriting process and provide a favorable credit decision on
behalf of the SBA for long-term loans," said Kathy Hunter, UMB
senior vice president of Small Business Banking. "This PLP
accreditation strengthens the UMB position as a leader in
delivering financial support to small business and advancing our

SBA PLP program is $2,000,000. "This designation by the SBA grants
UMB the power to enhance our commitment to this important business
segment," said Peter deSilva, UMB president and chief operating
officer. "By building on our portfolio of banking services and
providing experienced customer service, UMB is emerging as a viable
lending partner for small businesses." The key benefits of a SBA
PLP loan from UMB include: up to 90% loan-to-value, fully amortized
terms on real estate for up to 25 years and 10 years on equipment,
no balloon payments and flexible interest rate adjustment periods
for 1, 3 or 5 years. UMB Financial Corporation is a multi-bank
