Cathay Bank Launches Smart Relief Loan Program


LOS ANGELES, April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cathay Bank today announced that it has launched a Smart Relief Loan Program to help small business owners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This $2 million loan program offers a low interest rate short term loan ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 and is initially being offered to small businesses located in Los Angeles County. 

"This is an unprecedented time for all of us, and we know many small businesses are being hit especially hard by the stay at home order," said Chang M. Liu, Cathay Bank President and COO. "We want to do our part to help our community through this challenging time and hope they will thrive when this is over. We encourage our communities and peers to join our efforts in helping this important business segment during this trying time."

To be eligible for the Smart Relief Loan Program, small businesses must be located within Cathay Bank's assessment area in Los Angeles County, must be in business for at least one year, and have an annual revenue not exceeding $1 million. Those that qualify will receive an 18-month term loan with a 0% interest rate for the first six-month period with no payment due, followed by a 2% interest rate with full amortization of the fixed principal and interest due monthly for the remainder of the term. Application fee for Smart Relief Loan Program will be waived as well.
