Moody’s Analytics Enhances Bank Lending Solutions to Expedite Small Business Access to PPP Funds

NEW YORK -- 

Moody’s Analytics announced today that it has enhanced its credit decisioning solutions to help streamline borrowing by small businesses under the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the Small Business Association (SBA).

“We understand the financial stress small businesses are facing, and have enhanced our lending solutions to help banks extend credit more quickly in response to the coronavirus challenge,” said Steve Tulenko, President of Moody’s Analytics.

Under the CARES Act, small business owners can apply for government-backed loans through their banks. Moody’s Analytics has updated its solutions that streamline and automate online loan applications and credit decisions to help banks provide small businesses with more timely access to funding.

The new capabilities can help banks conduct Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, manage lending workflow, capture information consistently, and assess the credit position of their business borrowers. After a PPP loan is underwritten, lenders, guarantors, and other stakeholders can monitor loan performance and analyze aggregate trends.

Starting today, these enhancements will be made available to banks across the United States, including the hundreds of financial institutions already using Moody’s Analytics solutions. As more information about the SBA and PPP requirements is released, we will continue to adapt our solutions accordingly. Over the next few days, we will be hosting training sessions; dates and times will be posted here.
