Meeting the Demand for Small Business Loans

There’s been a strong demand for the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program loans. North Dakota Bankers Association President and CEO Rick Clayburgh says there are still a few banks in North Dakota who can’t access the SBA portal, but it’s improving. The Senate is attempting to add additional dollars to the program, which could give farmers more time to apply. “We hope to address the needs of businesses, farmers and ranchers who haven’t been able to get to their lender and fill out an application.”
