Writing Off Loans
Join us on May 18, 2020 at 1:30pm PDT for “Writing Off Loans.”
As a community lender, how can you support your clients to survive the crisis while preserving your capital base to the best of your ability? Join Susan Brown and our guests Catherine Howard and Lea Salem of Community Vision to learn best practices in closing out loans during this crisis.
Where Did The PPP Funding Go?
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s “Liberty Street Economics” blog analyzed the loan allocation data for the first round of PPP, in an effort to explain the geographic distribution of the loans. CAMEO Senior Advisor Mark Quinn took a look at the analysis and was able to draw several conclusions, which are laid out in our latest MicroBiz Blog.
