SBA PPP and Fintech, the next wave of funding

April 22, 2020

Fintech Gets In the Game

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds were exhausted within the first 2 weeks of the program.  TOmorrow, April 23rd, 2020, Congress will release another $310Billion for teh SBA to offer to small businesses as a forgivable loan to cover payroll and keep workers in their jobs.  In less than two weeks, $349 billion was claimed by around 1.6 million small business owners. Despite the large number, that only makes up about 6% of the American small businesses currently in operation. This means 94% of small business owners, many of whom have applications pending both with traditional banks and with fintech lenders such as Lendio, have been left without funding.  Those business owners can now apply through not only their banks but many online lenders who will process SBA PPP loan applications for the second round of funding. 

There’s a lot we have learned over the past two weeks as a nation, as an industry, and as business owners. Some of the most anticipated financial partnerships were made up of members of the Fintech industry, including Lendio, Paypal, and Square. Fintechs were hoping to provide a new avenue for business owners seeking cash and could deliver the funds much sooner than traditional banks. Due to the Fintechs’ experience in technology, the application process was more streamlined for businesses with pre-existing accounts.

The sudden lack of funds announced last Thursday left thousands of small businesses wondering whether their loan applications made it in before the funds ran dry.  Many others are putting in applications in anticipation of tomorrow's re-funding of the SBA PPP Program. Fintech firms specialize in lending to the smallest of employers, including mom-and-pop shops and local operators, often perceived as too insignificant and risky to borrow from traditional banks. almost all of them are accepting applications in anticipation of the decision by congress to re-fund the SBA. 

As the government continues to release new information and increased opportunities for new SBA PPP loans, these companies are sure to lead the pack in application processing and funds distribution. We have included a full list of the approved Fintech loan partners below. Please check back for updates as the situation changes daily.
