FINSYNC Helps Community Banks Prepare and Optimize for PPP Round 2

Community banks prepare for the second tranche of SBA PPP loans with a “plug-and-play” FinTech solution for automating loan applications

ATLANTA--()--FINSYNC, Inc., a leading provider of payment technologies and cash flow management software, continues its momentum in partnering with small and local lenders to provide their business borrowers with significantly faster loan processing and funding for the SBA’s Payroll Protection Program (PPP) via a “plug-and-play” online loan application and Lender’s Portal.

“The first $349 billion was applied for and allocated in less than 14 days because speed of processing is the key to this first-come-first-served funding for small businesses,” said Eddie Davis, Sr. VP Sales & Operations. “Now Heritage Bank is well prepared to service all of their small business customers by taking the strategic step of adopting our technology.”

Heritage Bank Partners with FINSYNC

"When the COVID-19 crisis hit, and the CARES Act passed, we knew we needed to get engaged and help our customers with the relief that’s available to them through SBA’s Payroll Protection Program (PPP),” said David Crow, Clayton County President, Heritage Bank.

“We put people and processes in place and have been working around the clock to keep up with demand. Now that the SBA has, hopefully just temporarily, halted approving new loan applications, we are ramping up efforts internally to support this program more efficiently so when the SBA resumes funding, we’ll be ready to take care of our customers more quickly.”

“We picked FINSYNC because it truly is ‘plug-and-play.’ We were up in minutes, and it’s the only solution we could find that helps with customer onboarding, loan processing, document management and loan forgiveness tracking,” added Crow.

Lincoln Parks, Director of Innovation & Digital Strategy for Heritage Bank noted, "Thankfully, digital transformation has been top of mind and was already underway for Heritage Bank. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, accepting PPP loan applications remotely became my number one priority.”

“We found FINSYNC's electronic loan application and connected Lender's Portal to be the right solution at the right time to help our clients get the funding they need,” Parks continued. “It also represents an opportunity to stay connected with our customers online, and be there for them for future financing needs."

Now is the Time for Banks to Prepare for the Next Wave of PPP Funding

In these uncertain times, many relationships between small businesses and their financial institutions are being tested. Businesses that were unable to secure funding in the first round of PPP funding are widely dissatisfied with their financial institutions, who they feel did not do enough to help them access the funding they so desperately need.

Community banks and credit unions have an opportunity to better meet the needs of their business clients by being prepared with a streamlined electronic PPP loan application that clients can access the moment additional funds are released. Financial institutions that can help their clients in their hour of greatest need will strengthen these relationships well beyond the time of COVID-19.
