How a credit union sells a commercial loan

Credit unions sell commercial and member-business CRE loans to manage member-business-lending limits and concentration, resolve a classified credit, or redeploy capital. A direct, all-cash sale of a single credit is fast, confidential, and avoids a drawn-out process — the NCUA's framework recognizes loan sales and participations as portfolio tools.

Why

Why credit unions sell

How it works

Share the loan tape under NDA; a principal buyer prices to the collateral and recovery path, provides proof of funds, and closes all-cash, typically in weeks, with no re-trade. Single credits are welcome — there is no portfolio minimum. Standing Bid Capital is a direct principal buyer of CRE loans, discounted payoffs, and REO — $250K–$25M, all-cash, no re-trade, confidential. Request a confidential review.

Common questions
Can a credit union sell a single commercial loan?

Yes — a direct buyer will purchase a single credit; there is no need for a portfolio. Standing Bid Capital buys from $250,000 per loan.

Does selling a member-business loan affect the member?

A note sale transfers the loan to the buyer; the member's obligation continues with the new holder. A direct buyer handles the transition professionally and confidentially.

What about non-accrual or classified credit-union loans?

Those are exactly the credits a direct sale resolves quickly — converting a classified asset to cash and reserve relief.
