GDS Link offers banks instant digital application for Payroll Protection Program

The GDS Link solution is fully compliant with all requirements of the loan application, as required by the federal government. The application includes robust fraud detection capabilities, leverages bank transaction data for additional KYC checks, allows for required document upload, loan amount calculation based on eligibility, and more.

The CARES Act expands the ability to obtain loans under Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act through a new $349 billion Paycheck Protection Program. Under the program a number of companies will be eligible for these loans, including small businesses, nonprofits, self-employed professionals, sole proprietors and independent contractors, as well businesses in the accommodation and food services sector and veterans organizations with fewer than 500 employees per location. The loans can be used to cover payroll, health care costs, mortgage interest payments, rent and utility payments and interest on pre-existing debt obligations.
