PPP Forgiveness Funnel

The table below is a comprehensive look at Forgiveness applications as they make their way from the borrower, to lenders, to the SBA and back, through the Numerated platform.

Editor’s Note: Since our most recent PPP Forgiveness Data Report, thousands of new PPP loans have been added to the Numerated platform to be processed for Forgiveness. The new loans have somewhat suppressed reported percentages in the funnel below, however trends in week-over-week change remain consistent.

Editor’s Note: With a hard shift coming to new simplified Forgiveness taking place this Friday, March 5, lenders using the Numerated platform have begun preparing borrowers for the new forms and processes associated with that change. This includes shifting eligible borrowers into the forms most appropriate for them, based on SBA guidance. We will be adjusting this report to accommodate the mandated changes to Forgiveness and have paused week-to-week reporting on this data in the interim. Check back for new data weekly, or register for an upcoming webinar for more information.


Takeaways

  • SBA mandated changes to Forgiveness will take place on Friday, March 5. These changes aim to make Forgiveness simpler and easier for borrowers to obtain—but it requires new forms and some changes in the lender process. As banks and credit unions prepare for this change over, the rate of new Forgiveness apps started on platform has predictably slowed.
  • The rate of Forgiveness submissions at all levels of the funnel is likely to rise as simplified Forgiveness is implemented. 
Numerated will release updated PPP Forgiveness data every Monday. For more information on Numerated or these insights, please contact marketing@numerated.com.
