ASSISTING LOCAL BUSINESSES
On April 3rd 2020 the Small Business Association launched the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) under the umbrella of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Pursuant to the CARES Act (executed March 27, 2020) and subsequent PPP loan, Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union was one of the estimated 15% of the U.S Credit Unions that engaged in the program.
Issuing nearly $10,000,000 in PPP loans, MVFCU was able to assist 215 small business with their payroll needs during this worldwide pandemic known as COVID-19 according to Kenn Darling, MVFCU Chief Credit Officer. Each loan provided about 2 ½ months of payroll grants to the small businesses to support them during the initial adjustment of the economic changes the virus caused.
Darling shared that “loans ranged from as low as $870 to a high of $807,705; emotions ran high as our members received this federal assistance, many claiming this will keep their doors open as some cheered, while others cried, from the relief this stimulus provided to them.”
As a Credit Union, part of the MVFCU core competency is providing financial products and services to local communities. The PPP loans provided MVFCU’s field of membership with much needed financial assistance while also giving new members the opportunity to experience the MVFCU way!
