A new insight into PPP loans reveals that it may be easier to substantiate them as qualified community development loans. One of the 4 different definitions of community development under CRA is the "economic development" definition. To be qualified for economic development a PPP loan had to meet the "size" test and the "purpose" test. However, banks were not required to collect the gross annual revenues of a PPP loan borrower and therefore did not have the data to substantiate whether the borrower met the size test. Noted CRA expert Len Suzio points out that all PPP loans had to meet the SBA size standards to be eligible to receive a PPP loan. That heretofore unrecognized fact means that every PPP loan is, ipso facto, qualified under the size test applied for economic development purposes.

For many years bankers have wondered if there is a safe harbor under the various CRA tests but regulators would never comment on or disclose anything in response to questions about this matter. However, the 2020 NPR issued by the FDIC and the OCC and the 2020 ANPR proposed a concept the regulators called "comparators" that established a bright line for minimum performance that would rate as "satisfactory" performance for CRA examination purposes. Listen to CRA expert Len Suzio explain what the concept entails and how it would be calculated. Although not yet adopted, it gives insight into what Len describes as the "unofficial" performance standards.Brought to you by GeoDataVision and M&M Consulting
