Centric Bank One of Few Community Banks Accepting PPP Applications from Businesses That Are Not Existing Customers

The anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that small businesses have been more successful applying for loans through the federal Paycheck Protection Program with community banks than with bigger banks.

However, only a few community banks are accepting PPP applications from businesses that are not existing customers.

Centric Bank, which has a financial center and commercial lending office in Devon, is one of those banks.

The team at Centric Bank has been working diligently to help not only its customers, but also other small businesses and nonprofits that are not customers, to weather this challenging and uncertain time.

Below is information on how to apply for PPP relief loans and EIDL loans.

Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) – The SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program provides small businesses with working capital loans of up to $2 million that can provide vital economic support to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing.
