Markets Wired

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Nov. 5, 2019) – Credit unions that participate in U.S. Small Business Administration programs or that are interested in those programs can get valuable information on a Nov. 13 webinar hosted by the SBA and the National Credit Union Administration.

Registration for the webinar, “The Big Picture of SBA Lending for Credit Unions — Part 2,” is now open (opens new window). The webinar is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Eastern and run approximately one hour. Participants will be able to log into the webinar and view it on their computers or mobile devices using the registration link. They should allow pop-ups from this website.

Staff from the NCUA’s offices of Credit Union Resources and Expansion and Examination and Insurance will be joined on the webinar by staff from the SBA’s offices of Financial Assistance, Financial Program Operations, and Credit Risk Management. The discussion will cover prudent steps credit union lenders can take to preserve their loan guarantees through the origination, servicing, and lender review cycles.

Participants can submit questions anytime during the presentation or in advance by emailing WebinarQuestions@ncua.gov. The email’s subject line should read, “SBA Lending for Credit Unions — Part 2.”

Please email technical questions about accessing the webinar to audience.support@on24.com. This webinar will be closed captioned and archived online approximately three weeks following the live event.

The NCUA and the SBA in April announced a three-year collaboration initiative to bring small businesses and credit unions together and expand awareness about SBA programs.

NCUA’s Office of Credit Union Resources and Expansion supports low-income-designated credit unions and credit unions interested in a low-income designation; minority credit unions; credit unions seeking changes in their charters, bylaws, or fields of membership; and groups organizing to start new credit unions.
