The PPP forgiveness process is expected to be a time-intensive process for banks as they work with borrowers to collect documentation and submit information to the SBA. With many aspects of the forgiveness process currently unclear, it is beneficial for banks to have a partner, like Abrigo, to help the institution to stay compliant and service the loans at scale.

Abrigo’s automated PPP loan forgiveness solution provides banks with software to digitize the collection and submission of any required forgiveness documentation, so banks can spend less time dealing with manual processes and more time serving their small business borrowers. In addition to increased efficiency and speed on the front end, Abrigo’s solution also gives banks the ability to calculate the forgiveness amount based on the provided PPP guidelines to ensure compliance and accuracy. Lenders can also generate Form 1502 within the platform to request their loan processing fees from the Small Business Administration (SBA) and for ongoing monthly servicing.
Regardless of whether or not a bank used Abrigo for PPP loan origination, any bank can utilize Abrigo’s PPP loan forgiveness and administration solution. Institutions who filed with other vendors or directly through the E-Tran portal can easily import the data from their core to streamline the forgiveness process.
