It has been an honor to serve the small business community during this time of urgent need. Citizens Bank & Trust has processed and obtained approval for nearly 700 loans through the SBA’s PPP lending program totaling 90 million dollars. We were able to meet the needs of our customers, as well as many other businesses in our community. Loans began closing Monday, April 13th and will continue to fund over the next several days until all approved applicants have received their proceeds. The SBA is no longer accepting applications for PPP loans, which we hope is only temporary. Rest assured that we stand ready to assist should a second wave of funding become available. Thank you once again for allowing us to serve the financial needs of you and your businesses.
We wish you and your family the very best as we work through these difficult days together.
Citizens Bank & Trust, proud to be your bank.
Greg Littleton
President / CEO
