FORGIVENESS
Clients may apply for loan forgiveness via the Banner Bank Business Loan Portal. Banner Bank’s Business Loan Portal will step you through a series of questions, and your responses will determine which SBA application form will be generated. In short, use the following as a guide:- Form 3508S is used only for loans of $150,000 or less.
- Form 3508EZ is used for borrowers who:
- Are self-employed and have no employees, and whose loan was more than $150,000 or;
- Have employees but did not reduce their wages by more than 25%, did not reduce headcount, and did not reduce employee hours, OR
- Have employees but did not reduce wages by more than 25% and could not operate as normal as a result of reduced business activity due to COVID-19 health guidance restrictions.
- Form 3508 will be generated for clients whose loan does not qualify to use Form 3508S or 3508EZ.
Clients with loans greater than $150,000 will be required to provide additional documentation of your forgiveness-eligible expenses during the application process.
