SBA Issues New Loan Program Guidance
The SBA on Friday night issued two notices on its lending programs.
SBA Procedural Notice 5000-20093: Provides guidance on establishing maturities of new 7(a) loans eligible to receive six months of payments under Section 1112 of the CARES Act. Lenders may not artificially shorten loan maturities so that SBA pays all or substantially all of the loan, which would result in the SBA not guaranteeing the loan.
SBA Information Notice 5000-20094: Provides guidance and instructions for registering on SAM.gov and reporting the unique identifier to SBA, which is required for recipients of federal loans, loan guarantees, and other financial assistance.

Why Bank + Fintech Partnerships Are Going Nowhere
While bank and credit union interest in partnering with fintechs continues at a strong pace, the relationships that have been set up aren’t producing the revenue that they could be, according to research by Cornerstone Advisors. Among the reasons for this trend is that institutions aren’t starting out with the right goals, in some cases, and because many institutions that profess interest in partnership aren’t staffing those efforts for success.
A time of reckoning may be coming for lackluster and misguided fintech partnerships, suggests Cornerstone’s “What’s Going On In Banking 2021.”
The report notes that financial institution boards frequently ask management what their fintech strategy is and how it is playing out. It’s been a checklist item. Read entire article from The Financial Brand.
