Guidance updated on PPP whole loan sales
The Small Business Administration extended its guidance this week on how lenders may sell whole Paycheck Protection Program loans.
The SBA’s previous guidance on whole loan sales of PPP loans expired on May 1, and the new guidance has been back-dated to take effect on April 30.
The guidance reaffirmed lenders participating in the PPP may sell their interest in PPP loans to other participating lenders, and SBA’s prior written consent is not required for these sales.

Adrian Beverage assumes president/CEO position at OBA
The Oklahoma Bankers Association will have a new president and CEO for the first time in 33 years – but one with a familiar name – when Adrian Beverage assumes the post officially on Saturday, May 1.
Beverage will be moving from his current position as chief of staff, executive vice president and director of government relations for the OBA, where he tracked active legislation and developed grassroots advocacy processes.
He has been with the Association since 2000.
“I am excited and humbled to be granted the opportunity to lead the Oklahoma Bankers Association,” Adrian Beverage said. “I look forward to working with banks across our state to strengthen an industry that is vital to the success of all Oklahomans.”
