Authorization for the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program has been extended through August 8, 2020.

With this authorization and funding for the Paycheck Protection Program still available, we are continuing to accept new applications from current National Bank of Arizona clients. We are happy to accept new Paycheck Protection Program applications from any small business, independent contractor, self-employed individual or non-profit that has a current loan and/or deposit relationship with National Bank of Arizona, as of July 17, 2020. To begin your application, please contact your relationship manager, your local The National Bank of Arizona branch or call our Contact Center at 1-800-497-8168 to schedule an appointment with a local bank officer. We will generally require that clients who are new to the bank meet in person with one of our bankers to begin the application process. New applications will be accepted by National Bank of Arizona through 11:00 A.M. (PT) on Friday, August 7, 2020.

As an SBA-preferred lender, The National Bank of Arizona is well positioned to help you efficiently navigate the loan application process.

PLEASE NOTE: New applications that are incomplete and inaccurate, or do not include an accurately calculated and properly documented loan amount, requisite ownership and other eligibility information and an accurate 6-digit NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code for your business, will not be processed. You will also be required to have a current transactional (e.g., checking) account with us bearing the same legal name under which your business applies for the loan, in order for us to deposit the loan proceeds, and to maintain your business’s primary checking account with The National Bank of Arizona.
