Wow. This is a major story going on where the banks are hijacking these loans to cover businesses with existing debts with them. Media needs to pick up. https://t.co/BCP6E1P48F

So this was a big change made in the PPP rules last night.

The Treasury guidance said that 75% of each loan must be used for payroll costs. Not just 75% of what's forgiven, but of the whole loan.

This makes it a considerably worse deal for businesses that are entirely closed. pic.twitter.com/SbfkYw0DUT

Paycheck Protection Program rollout so far a train wreck. Chase is down, BofA is prioritizing business lending clients, smaller local banks not ready yet. What a mess. #PPPloan #fintwit #CARESAct

So #ppploan is off to a terrible start. I was able to apply via Bank of America but hearing they are letting you apply only to tell you you aren't eligible. Now I'm worried we might not get approved. Anyone know of options besides your current bank? Or you SOL?

Good. PayPal and other nonbank lenders being considered for SBA lending, but engagement with @federalreserve will be key. Expansion to community banks seems promising. Engaging Amazon to speed up processing is good news; hope it leads to permanent change. Still need more $ fast. https://t.co/AGHWdBjGTA
