New Chase SBA PPP Application Portal Live! (April 6th, 2020 around 6:00 pm est)

NEW: SBA’s so-called “E-Tran” system, which confirms receipt of a loan application, was down completely today and unable to process large share of #PPP apps.

One bank submitted 10,000 loan applications and only got five through, an industry source tells me.

• Bank of America sees booming rescue loan demand, with applications for nearly 10% of program
• America’s $350 billion emergency loan program for small businesses may run out of money

@YagerTweets @langford_stacey I was finally able to access the SBA E Tran at 7pm tonight. I can’t guarantee it but hope that translates into being able to make PPP loans starting tomorrow. https://t.co/zpxRwvF7Ms

— Keebler Williams (@imkeebler) April 6, 2020

Never would have I thought that a text from a banker about finally getting access to SBA’s Etran system could bring me such joy. Making progress but still a long way to go before all banks can make PPP loans. Have patience with your bankers. They are working 24/7.

Wet Signature or Scanned Copy of Signature Required for SBA PPP Loan

If true, this is absolutely terrible!

@jimcramer Jim, i was just told that SBA has already met the 350B threshold and that my application sent 18 days ago was moved to an inactive status. Also that the PPP program is now capped at 15k. I was also told I’d have to resubmit again. Can you verify this at all?

Community Bank in Lexington – day 3 of PPP and we still don’t have access to etran, SBA’s portal for loan submission. I have close to $4M in apps waiting.

— Phillip (@philliprenfroe) April 5, 2020

I am on the front lines of the application process for the PPP for clients. The SBA and banks are NOT on the same page and the money is NOT getting out to the businesses that desperately need it. @CGasparino is correct!#AmericasAccountant

NEW numbers from $BAC @BankofAmerica. They‘ve received 85k applications from small business clients seeking a total of $22.2bn. Astonishing numbers from a single bank in a single day. @stevenmnuchin1 @SpeakerPelosi – I have a feeling you’re going to have to increase the $350bn.

At 10:30 pm est on April 4th, 2020 the Chase SBA PPP application went live. Go apply as quickly as possible!

We’ve been taking in apps for PPP loans like crazy. (My wife is in our commercial processing department) As soon at the SBA figures their stupid stuff out, we’ll fund several hundred instantly, maybe thousands and keep people going at least for the short term.

Around 8:00 pm est on April 4th, 2020 the SBA sent this to banks:

The SBA apologizes for ongoing technical issues, which includes slowness and the inability for many lenders to create new logins or reset passwords.

Are you finding that banks are way ahead of schedule as President Donald Trump states below:

• Loan Details and Forgiveness
• Other Assistance
• Lender Forms and Guidance

President Trump and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin have been very pleased with the amount of loans that have been processed in the first few days of this program. President Trump recently announced that as soon as the total amount of money runs out, he is going to ask Congress for more.

I will immediately ask Congress for more money to support small businesses under the #PPPloan if the allocated money runs out. So far, way ahead of schedule. @BankofAmerica & community banks are rocking! @SBAgov @USTreasury

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 4, 2020

President Trump has also been very complementary of Bank of America in the first 48 hours of the loan program. Unfortunately, Wells Fargo, Citibank and TD Bank have not gone live with their applications in the first 48 hours. News reports state that they will go live by Monday or Tuesday (April 6th or April 7th, 2020).
