COVID-19 and the Paycheck Protection Program Update -- April 24, 2020

Today, the President has signed into law legislation that includes an additional $310 billion to restart the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).  If you are an eligible Small Business and have not already applied for PPP  funding, we are here to help.  PPP  loans are forgivable loans to help small businesses keep their workers employed during this pandemic and associated economic downturn. The PPP  provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to eligible small businesses with less than 500 employees who maintain their payrolls during this emergency. 
We are pleased that, to date, we have been able to help over 500 Small Business customers with PPP  loans totaling over $58 million.

Through PPP,  loan payments will be deferred for six months and these loans may be forgiven as long as:  
      -- The loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 8-week period after the loan is made;
        -- At least 75% of the loan proceeds have been used to cover payroll costs;
        -- Employee and compensation levels are maintained, and
        -- Any other requirements established by the Small Business Administration are met.

The loan amount can be for up to 2.5 times your average monthly payroll costs from the last year, and the loan term will be for 2 years with a 1.00% fixed rate with no collateral or guarantees required and no fees to the applicant. For more detailed information on eligibility, average monthly payroll calculations, etc., the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Small Business Administration have helpful information available on their websites.  

We are prepared to accept your PPP  loan applications NOW!  We encourage you to apply as soon as you have your information together. 

For more details or if you have specific questions, feel free to contact any Progressive Commercial or Personal Banker. We are ready to assist you.

A Message about COVID-19 and the Paycheck Protection Program -- April 3, 2020

For our Small Business Customers, relief is on the way. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act includes nearly $350 billion in forgivable loans to help small businesses keep their workers employed during this pandemic and associated economic downturn. We stand ready to support our small business customers who may be eligible for financial relief through the CARES Act.  A part of the Act, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP),  provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to eligible small businesses with less than 500 employees who maintain their payrolls during this emergency. 

Small Business customers with a business lending or business deposit relationship with Progressive Bank  are eligible to apply for a PPP  loan through our bank. Small Business owners who do not  have a business lending or business deposit relationship with Progressive Bank should contact their current business banking provider as soon as possible if they plan to apply for this assistance.  This is the fastest and best method for applying for this relief, based on the U.S. Treasury requirements and guidance. 

With the PPP  program, loan payments will be deferred for six months and these loans may be forgiven as long as: 

      -- The loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 8-week period after the loan is made;
        -- At least 75% of the loan proceeds have been used to cover payroll costs;
        -- Employee and compensation levels are maintained, and
        -- Any other requirements established by the Small Business Administration are met.

The loan amount can be for up to 2.5 times your average monthly payroll costs from the last year, and the loan term will be for 2 years with a 1.00% fixed rate with no collateral or guarantees required and no fees to the applicant. For more detailed information on eligibility, average monthly payroll calculations, etc., the Department of the Treasury has prepared a PPP  Information Sheet for Borrowers  available here. 

The loan application period begins on Friday, April 3rd, for small businesses and sole proprietors, and on Friday, April 10th, for independent contractors and self-employed individuals; and you are encouraged to apply as soon as you have your information together.

For more details or if you are a Business Customer and have specific questions; feel free to contact your Progressive Banker. We know that everyone is eager to begin this process and we are ready to assist you. 

Whether you are a commercial or individual customer, we are thankful for your business and for your continued confidence in us. Your Progressive Bank team will be available to you when you need us. Our priorities are to keep you connected to your money in the way that's most convenient for you, to provide you the financial assistance that you need, and to get through this together.
