This includes details of the investor, sale price, and date. The originating lender remains the servicer of record and must continue to report loan status, payments, and any material servicing actions to the SBA monthly, even after the sale.","example":"A lender sells a $1.5 million guaranteed portion to an investor. Within 10 business days, the lender updates E-Tran with the investor's information and sale details. Each month thereafter, the lender continues to report the loan's payment status, outstanding balance, and any relevant servicing activities to the SBA.","what_lenders_check":"Lenders must comply with all secondary market reporting requirements to maintain the integrity of the guaranty.
