Community Lending Division
Team members think of Hanmi Financial Corp.'s Small Business Administration lending unit as small but mighty.
Led by executive vice president and chief SBA lending officer Anna Chung, the unit oversees Los Angeles-based Hanmi's Small Business Administration lending operation, a longstanding component of the $7.8 billion-asset company's business model. Hanmi began making 7(a) loans in 1988.
Hanmi's commitment to SBA lending has grown as the company has gotten bigger. Now, the bank's SBA program is poised to make its biggest leap yet, a nationwide expansion program that's gathering steam and appears set to further accelerate in 2026.
