SOP 50 10 8 App11
APPENDIX 11: RECORD RETENTION REQUIREMENTS SBA’s record retention requirements are the same for both wet ink and electronic signatures. When wet signatures are obtained on original hard copies, the SBA Lender must maintain the hard copy with wet signatures in its loan file unless otherwise specified below. These record retention requirements supersede all previous record retention guidance in prior SOPs. A. 7(a) Lenders: 1. Lenders must retain the original Note; Guaranty(ies); Security/Collateral documents such as mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements; SBA application (SBA Form 1919 and any other application documents); any SBA Form(s) 159; and any SBA Environmental Indemnification Agreement. Hard-copy records of those documents requiring original signatures must be retained unless the original signature was made electronically in accordance with applicable standards governing electronic signatures. (See Appendix 10, Electronic Signatures, for guidance on electronic signature standards.)
