Biz2X Launches ‘Accelerate SBA’ for Banks to Start Lending via CARES Act
The United States Congress has passed the CARES Act to combat the financial strain caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). President Trump has signed into law an unprecedented $2.2 trillion economic stimulus plan. $350 billion is earmarked for small businesses in the form of loan guarantees by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
Banks and credit unions will have the ability to facilitate this record-setting volume of small business loans by providing much needed relief funding to businesses in need. The ability to efficiently assess, process, and deliver funds quickly will separate the banks who thrive and build long-term relationships from those who are unable to meet market needs.
Expect high lending demand
There are 30.2 million small businesses in the US. All of them have been significantly impacted, with COVID-19 now economically affecting one out of every two Americans.
All businesses with 500 employees or less will qualify for SBA guaranteed loans, with few exceptions. Financial institutions will need technology that can scale to this level of demand. Lenders should be prepared with digital experiences, automated workflows, risk assessment, and portfolio monitoring. Biz2X has now launched Accelerate SBA to respond to this critical situation.
