Many banks are finding it challenging to capture and process loan applications that have been submitted in response to the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). We even learned that some banks missed out on the first round of PPP because they didn’t have a portal up and running to accept borrower applications. That’s a significant loss, considering that banks receive commission from the government for every loan that is processed.
These PPP fees are important to banks. They are using PPP fees and interest to fund incremental loan loss reserves and to avoid meaningful tangible book value impairments. That helps them protect their stock prices and dividends. It’s also a way to create favorable brand impressions with your existing and prospective customers.
In this environment, a rocky deployment of the PPP could hurt a bank’s reputation even if the problems are not entirely their fault. During this “moment of truth” for many banks, we know that rapidly deployed, high-quality solutions can enhance the experiences small business owners have with their banks.
