SBA Paycheck Protection Program (Second Draw)

On December 27th, 2020, the most recent Covid-19 federal relief bill was signed into law. As part of this relief, the Small Business Administration has implemented a second Paycheck Protection Program loan draw for PPP borrowers needing additional relief. Like the first version PPP loan, this loan can be forgiven if certain requirements are met. No personal guarantee or collateral is required. There are no fees or prepayment penalties for this loan.

Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. is approved by the SBA to offer Paycheck Protection Program loans. All applications must be submitted through the Bank's online portal.
