All Rights Reserved. Confidential & Proprietary. 10 PPP Overall Performance: Political & Legal • CARES Act was put together hastily and rushed through the legislative process in a matter of days in order to speed implementation and distribution. • SBA became “owner” of the program because it involved the 7(a) program, yet it overwhelmed the agency with expectations for immediacy, untested technology updates, and massive loan volumes. • Partisan disagreements in Congress created long gap in funding from April to August – biggest issues were aid to state/local governments and effects on budget deficit. • Legal but ethically questionable – loans to public companies; companies owned by members of Congress/spouses/families; administration officials/families; and loans to churches, anti-vaccine organizations. • SBA created 9-page “necessity questionnaire” for companies receiving loans over $2 million. • Political actions sometimes created more operational ones – two-week window in Feb/March “came too late” for many and caused application backlog for all others. • Are there potential legal issues to come? April 8, 2021 Vision to see the future...experience to get you there. ©2021 Automated Financial Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Confidential & Proprietary. 11 PPP Overall Performance: Regulatory • Give SBA some credit – given a rushed and vague law, with expectation of immediate implementation, they were on the defensive with rules and technology glitches throughout. • Political requirements and pressures forced changes to be implemented virtually immediately – technology updates were rushed and inadequately tested. • SBA Inspector General issued report critical of SBA for setting stricter rules than CARES Act, causing “unintended burden to borrowers.” • GAO report stated SBA urgency to implement PPP caused undue confusion for duration of program. • Small businesses were uncertain whether they would qualify for forgiveness, causing many to return loans. More than 170,000 loans ($38B) returned by June 2020 over lack of clarity. • SBA Inspector General report in March 2021 found $692 in duplicate loans issued in 2020 to companies with same Tax ID; SBA “did not always have sufficient controls in place.” • Bankers praised technology improvements made by SBA to get ready for 2021 loans – new origination portal with improved user interface.

  • Technology Solutions for PPP and Beyond
    Technology Solutions for PPP and Beyond Research Brief JUNE 2020 Small businesses’ struggles to obtain federal Paycheck Protection Program loans over the last two months underscore the substantial obstacles that they face in accessing capital and financial services more generally. Using data and technology to make small business lending faster, less resource intensive, and more accurate is critical to fostering a more rapid and inclusive economic recovery and to building a more resilient small business sector going forward. Small businesses are experiencing severe hardships during the COVID-19 crisis. To help support businesses with fewer than 500 employees, Congress established the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).1 The PPP is a temporary emergency Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) loan program with favorable terms, including a 100% government guarantee and potential forgiveness. However, PPP implementation has high- lighted and in some cases exacerbated longstanding challenges faced by small businesses in accessing credit: » Verification of identity. Many small businesses did not have extensive relationships with participating banks at the start of the Paycheck Protection Program. To onboard new customers, lenders must comply with identity verification and due diligence requirements, which demand a certain level of rigor, time, and resources. No central information repository exists for businesses, and traditionally used data sources may not include certain companies, such as newly formed businesses. » Insufficient information to evaluate loan applications. Small businesses’ financial information is not publicly available, less standardized than larger companies, and often not digitized. Lenders have historically devoted substantial resources to gathering and analyzing documents and data about small businesses.

  • Securitizing Digital Debts
    Securitizing Digital Debts Christopher K. Odinet* ABSTRACT The promise of financial technology (“fintech”) and artificial intelligence (“AI”) in broadening access to financial products and services continues to capture the imagination of policymakers, Wall Street, and the public. This has been particularly true in the realm of fintech credit where platform companies increasingly provide online loans to consumers, students, and small businesses by harnessing AI underwriting and alternative data. In 2019 alone, fintech lenders represented nearly 50% of total non-credit card, unsecured consumer loan balances in the United States. One of the most prevalent ways fintech credit firms operate is by securitizing the online loans they help originate. In doing so, fintech lenders are able to access the capital markets and further the spread of borrowed capital and credit risk. Against this backdrop of increasing institutional investment in fintech securitized assets, this Article reveals how consumer finance law is playing a subtle but increasingly important role in commercial financial transactions. I do this by exploring how structured finance has come to operate in the fintech credit marketplace and by comparing it to pre-2008 securitization activity in the home mortgage context. In doing so, I critique algorithm-driven credit securitization and point out certain economic and legal risks that make it similar to pre-2008 mortgage securitization, as well as other risks that are unique to fintech finance. These pertain to, among other things, the opacity of loans underwritten through the use of alternative data and machine * Associate Professor of Law and Affiliate Faculty in Entrepreneurship, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK.

    February 4, 2021 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Re: Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Regarding Consumer Access to Financial Records Docket No.: CFPB-2020-0034 Dear Acting Director Uejio, Thank you for this opportunity to respond to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Background: Financial technology (fintech) offerings have grown rapidly since the passage of Dodd-Frank.1 ​ Many consumer experiences are now occurring digitally, with demonstrably beneficial outcomes for consumers. According to a recent Harris Poll survey, 73% of consumers say that these types 2 of fintech services will be their “new normal” for managing their finances after COVID-19. ​ This ​ growing financial technology ecosystem is built on the premise that consumers own and can knowingly authorize the sharing of their data to gain access to a desired product. We are financial technology companies that provide these types of services, powered by consumer-permissioned data, to millions of American individuals, households, and businesses. Consumers and businesses use our services to track their spending, save for the future, gain access to responsible credit, improve credit scores, pay down debt, and generally achieve their financial goals. Our customers come from a range of financial backgrounds, and bank with a range of financial institutions, from national banks, to digital banks, to local community banks and credit unions. To use our services, consumers rely on their ability to authorize the sharing of their financial data. When authorized access is consistent and reliable, a larger pool of ​ consumers are equipped with access to their financial data, which in turn incentivizes ecosystem participants like us to compete to develop innovative data-driven, consumer-centric services that help consumers and businesses manage their financial lives.
