Your real odds
No public approval rate exists, so your odds come down to your creditworthiness and business profile.
BankFirst holds CDFI designation, which means it prioritizes underserved borrowers and will consider founders who would not clear the bar at a larger bank. Because submissions roll in continuously, you are not competing against a fixed cohort for a capped pool.

Worth knowing
Decisions run through local presidents and advisory boards, so the branch relationship matters in a way it simply does not at a national lender, and introducing yourself before you apply is worth the time.
