ICBA this week released talking points and a sample letter to PPP borrowers about the SBA and Treasury Department release of information about individual Paycheck Protection Program loans.
The member-protected talking points and letter template note that the federal agencies—not community banks—released the loan-level information. The resources are available to help community banks who receive questions from PPP borrowers.
The SBA and Treasury on Monday released business names, addresses, lender names, and other information for loans of $150,000 and up. For loans below $150,000, the agencies are reporting aggregated loan totals.
ICBA continues urging community bankers to use its Be Heard grassroots action center to recommend reforms to include in the next economic relief package, which Congress is debating now. Community bankers can also access ICBA’s Tell Your Story toolkit for a sample press release and op-ed to share the positive impact of their PPP efforts.
