Paycheck Protection Program
Updated 3/8/21
As we have previously communicated, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act) extended the authority to make Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans through March 31, 2021. We will be accepting applications from eligible current customers for PPP first and second draw loans through our online portal.
To ensure we have adequate time to review, process and submit applications by the March 31, 2021 deadline, we will not be accepting new PPP loan applications after March 15, 2021. Please note that the submission of an application does not guaranty the receipt of a PPP loan.
We will continue to process loan applications from eligible current customers that are completed, signed and submitted through our online portal no later than March 15, 2021. If you have already completed, signed and submitted a PPP loan application, we will contact you if additional information is required. Applications that remain incomplete or have not been signed and submitted by March 15, 2021 may not be approved and eligible for funding prior to the March 31, 2021 deadline.
As a reminder, PPP loans are subject to all PPP, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and other applicable rules and requirements. Should you have any questions regarding specific rules and requirements, we encourage you to consult with your legal and/or accounting/tax professionals. For more information and details about the PPP, including comprehensive program guidelines, please visit www.sba.gov or www.treasury.gov.
