What banks or lenders are accepting PPP applications?
Did you miss the first round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) or have you not heard back from your lender or bank yet? If so, there's good news: Congress has approved $310 billion more for the PPP program, and $60 billion for the EIDL program. This means that banks and lenders will start processing applications again.
We have put together a list of banks and lenders that are available. We will update this list daily as we find out about more options. Our mission at Skip is to help as many individuals and businesses as possible understand grant and loan options, employment options, and other information related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Much of this list of banks and lenders was originally curated by Fundera. You can also apply for a PPP loan via Fundera, too.
Editors note: The Paycheck Protection Program is an ongoing program by the Small Business Administration to help small businesses keep people on payroll. The funding is limited and first-come, first-served. The PPP loans are forgivable if certain criteria is met. If you're interested in learning more, watch our YouTube video about the new PPP funding. Many banks or lenders have paused accepting applications but we expect them to open back up for "PPP business" in the coming days.
