Reading Cooperative Bank is pleased to participate in the new Paycheck Protection Loan Program which allows for Second Draw PPP loans.
To be eligible for a second PPP forgivable loan, your business must have experienced a reduction in Gross Receipts by 25% or more in 2020 as compared to your gross receipts in 2019. If you have never received a PPP loan, you are also able to apply for your first PPP loan.

What to expect once you have submitted your loan:
We will review your entire application to make sure that your submission is complete and that you have included all the appropriate documents. If there are any problems or discrepancies, we will send you an email or call you with instructions.
Once the application has been reviewed (and any problems corrected), we will automatically create the SBA 2483/2483SD application form required for PPP Loan applications that includes all your loan information and send this document to you electronically for your final review and electronic signature.
Once signed, we will prepare and transmit your request to the SBA automatically. The SBA will then review and decide on your loan request - they have indicated that the turnaround time will be 3 days.
Upon approval by the SBA, we will prepare your loan closing documents for you for final review and electronic signature. Disbursement of the approved loan amount will take place after we review your signed loan closing documents.
What if I realize that I made a mistake?
Contact your banker or the bank directly. They can unlock the application, which allows you to make changes and resubmit it. If the application has already been accepted by the SBA, it may be too late to affect any changes. Your lender will be able to check on the status of your application for you.
