Acclivity Financial, a subsidiary of Citizens Bank, is a nationwide small business lender that specializes in government guaranteed loans offered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”).

Acclivity Financials primary focus is extending credit to these businesses, traditionally underserved by financial institutions, through Citizens Bank’s participation in the SBA 7(a) and USDA Business & Industry (“B&I”) loan programs. As an SBA Preferred Lender, Citizens Bank, through its dedicated small business lending team at Acclivity Financial, has become one of the top SBA lenders in the nation.
