 What You Need To Know

  • The SBA is Re-Opening the PPP portal on Friday, January 15 to lenders with $1 billion or less in assets to begin processing both new and second-draw loan applications. The program will then open to all other lenders on Tuesday, January 19.
  • The SBA has assured lenders there is enough funding to properly support qualified applicants.
  • Applications will only be accepted on-line via our portal, found on the American River Bank website. Please do not email or hand deliver applications to individuals at American River Bank.
  • The quickest way to get your application reviewed and submitted to the SBA is to submit a complete, accurate and error free application with all of the necessary documentation to American River Bank through our on-line portal.
  • Submitting a partial application does not “hold your place in line.” Incomplete applications will not be reviewed until all information is submitted.
  • American River Bank employees will review applications for completeness. For guidance to complete your application, please work with your accountant or other trusted resource.

 We strongly encourage applicants to 

  • thoroughly read all directions,
  • if you have questions, review the Q&A from the SBA
  • accurately complete all forms, and
  • submit all forms and necessary documentation at one time.
