It's recommended to schedule an appointment to ensure dedicated time with a loan specialist, but walk-ins may be accommodated depending on availability.
What are the hours of operation?
Typically, the bank operates from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday, but it's best to confirm directly with the branch for specific hours.
Is there a fee to use this?
There are no fees for simply visiting or consulting; fees apply only for loan processing and related services as outlined in the loan agreement.
Who is this open to — anyone, or only residents/members?
The bank serves small and medium-sized businesses within the region, with eligibility based on creditworthiness and business criteria, not residency alone.
What minimum personal credit score does this bank look for in a guarantor?
A minimum personal credit score of around 650 is generally preferred, though higher scores improve approval chances.
How long does the traditional underwriting process take from start to close?
The underwriting process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the completeness of the application and the complexity of the loan.
Is this open on weekends?
Most banks keep weekday business hours and are closed on weekends, and Northeast Bank typically follows the same pattern. SBA lending staff are generally reachable Monday through Friday. A few locations offer Saturday or by-appointment hours, so call Northeast Bank to confirm current weekend availability before you go.

Northeast Bank is located in Minnesota — see the contact card for the full address. Most bank locations offer free on-site or nearby street parking for visitors. For exact directions, the entrance, and accessible parking, use the listed address or call ahead and staff can point you to visitor spaces.
Who owns or operates this listing?
This page is an independent directory listing for Northeast Bank, an SBA-participating bank. It is maintained by SBA Lenders USA to help borrowers compare lenders — not by Northeast Bank itself, which runs its own lending under its own ownership. If you work at Northeast Bank, you can claim this listing from this page to manage it.
How current is the information on this page?
The core details for Northeast Bank — name, location, contact, and lender type — are compiled from public records and reviewed periodically.

How do I contact this listing directly?
You can reach Northeast Bank by phone at (612) 379-8811 (Minneapolis), (651) 529-1460 (New Brighton), or (763) 784-3533 (Coon Rapids), or use their secure messaging through Online Banking, secure email at https://web1.zixmail.net/s/login?b=northeastbank, or contact form at nebankmn.com/about-us/contact-us — confirm directly with the branch for SBA lending specifics.
What core industries does this commercial bank traditionally choose to finance?
Based on its approved SBA loans, Northeast Bank most often finances businesses in manufacturing, general retail, restaurants & food service, hotels & lodging, construction & contractors, and transportation & trucking. This reflects Northeast Bank's real SBA 7(a) and 504 lending history rather than a stated policy — it can still consider other industries and sets its own current preferences, so confirm with Northeast Bank which sectors it actively lends to before you apply.
Can I apply for an SBA Express line of credit at this branch?
SBA Express offers lines of credit and term loans up to $500,000 with a faster turnaround than standard 7(a) loans. Whether Northeast Bank participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact Northeast Bank and ask if it offers SBA Express and what the current limits and terms look like for your situation.
Does this bank have Preferred Lender Provider status with the government?
SBA Preferred Lender Program (PLP) status lets a lender approve loans in-house without sending each one to the SBA first, which usually means faster decisions. Many established banks hold PLP status, but it varies by institution. Northeast Bank can confirm its current PLP standing — ask before you apply if speed matters to you.
Are start-up companies eligible for financing at this traditional institution?
The SBA does fund start-ups, but many traditional lenders prefer at least two years of operating history and may ask newer ventures for a larger equity injection or stronger collateral. Northeast Bank's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Northeast Bank directly whether it considers start-up loans.
What are the typical down payment expectations for commercial real estate acquisitions?
For SBA 7(a) and 504 commercial real estate loans, borrowers typically contribute around 10% to 20% as a down payment or equity injection, depending on the property and the deal. Exact requirements vary with your credit, the business, and the lender's policy. Ask Northeast Bank what down payment it expects for your specific commercial real estate purchase.
Does this bank impose prepayment penalties on short-term working capital facilities?
SBA 7(a) loans with terms under 15 years generally carry no prepayment penalty, while longer real estate loans can have one in the early years. Short-term working capital lines often have no penalty, but terms vary by lender. Review your loan agreement and ask Northeast Bank to spell out any prepayment penalties before you sign.
Can I use loan proceeds from this bank to buy out an existing equity partner?
SBA loans can be used for a partner or owner buyout, including buying out an existing equity partner, when the deal is structured to meet SBA rules — for example, the remaining owner generally must stay actively involved. Approval depends on the specifics, so discuss your buyout plan with Northeast Bank to confirm it qualifies and how to document it.
Will historical personal bankruptcies automatically disqualify my loan application here?
A past personal bankruptcy does not automatically disqualify you from an SBA loan. Lenders look at how long ago it was discharged, the circumstances, and how your credit has recovered since. Northeast Bank weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Northeast Bank how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
