Note to Agents:
Huntington is not working with third-party agents on Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, either at origination or in connection with forgiveness applications. We will work directly with the borrower including when they apply for forgiveness of any PPP loan extended to them. Huntington will not pay fees to any firm claiming to be a borrower’s agent in connection with either of those processes.
Relief Programs
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness
We’re pleased to announce that we are now accepting forgiveness applications for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans in excess of $150,000. We recommend that you review the forgiveness application forms on the Treasury site to ensure you have the documents and information you need to complete the application in our online portal.
We believe that Congress will act to create a simplified process for (or even automatic) forgiveness for loans $150,000 or less so we are not extending access to the online portal to those borrowers yet. We believe that it would be counterproductive to have those borrowers use the existing process. Borrowers with loans of $150,000 or less should receive an email with a more detailed explanation of our reasons for this.
We recommend that you review the PPP Loan Forgiveness FAQs. With PPP guidance continually evolving, we recommend monitoring the SBA and Treasury websites for updates. In addition, as we learn of changes to the program, we will update this page.
You are encouraged to consult with your professional advisors for a comprehensive review of the PPP rules and guidance.
