Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Following its transition to a financial holding company in January 2023, NewtekOne is focused on scaling Newtek Bank, N.A. as a digital-first relationship engine. This involves gathering low-cost business and consumer deposits to fund its loan portfolio more efficiently, reducing reliance on non-bank warehouse lines.
Expected impact: Aims to lower funding costs, improve net interest margins, and support a broader primary-banking relationship with small-to-medium business customers.
Expanding the Alternative Loan Program (ALP) and non-SBA long-amortizing C&I loans, supported by securitization markets and a larger revolving loan facility.
Expected impact: Targeting $500 million of ALP/long-amortizing C&I loan originations in 2026 to diversify the lending portfolio beyond traditional SBA 7(a) loans.
