Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. is a Wilmington-based bank holding company offering commercial banking, real estate, wealth management, and investment services to individuals, small businesses, and fintech clients across North Carolina and the U.S.

Live Oak Bank is the nation's top SBA 7(a) lender, providing government-backed loans to help small businesses with financing for growth, working capital, and equipment, embodying its mission to serve as America's small business bank.
Live Oak Bancshares reported third-quarter 2025 earnings of $0.55 per share, missing analyst expectations. The negative earnings surprise was coupled with the significant news of the completed sale of its stake in the fintech company Apiture, Inc., resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $24 million. This combination of a core earnings miss and a large one-time gain created a complex financial picture for investors and was followed by a notification of a delay in the company's 10-Q filing.
Live Oak Bank partnered with banking platform provider Infinant to scale its embedded finance (Banking-as-a-Service) offerings. This strategic move enables Live Oak to embed its banking products, including deposits, payments, and loans, directly into the software platforms of its vertical-specific partners, aiming to enhance customer acquisition and deepen relationships within its core small business segments.
