Sign & Hold

You must sign your Second Draw application via DocuSign. Please monitor your email inbox and spam folder for this document. It will arrive within a few days.

After you sign the document, your lender will hold your Second Draw application until the SBA is ready to accept it. The SBA requires this holding period to ensure that your First Draw loan was received in your bank account, spent on qualified expenses (including payments to yourself), and marked as Fully Disbursed in the SBA’s systems.

This holding period often takes up to 7 days after your First Draw loan arrives in your bank account. The duration depends on factors that neither Womply nor you can control.

After you sign your Second Draw application, your application will immediately move forward. You should not apply for a PPP loan elsewhere during this time. No further action is required from you.

Lender Funding

This application is in the process of being funded by your lender. If the bank information you provided is valid, you will receive your loan via ACH transfer.

Lenders have up to 20 days after the date the SBA approves your application to fund your PPP loan. In most cases, this funding happens within 2 to 3 business days after you sign your promissory note.

To avoid delays, check your application Status Detail to ensure your bank info is complete. Problems with your bank info will delay funding.

Updated Bank Information Needed

There is a problem funding your loan. You should check that your Funding Instructions are complete and that you have a verified bank account selected for your application. Your application can have this status if your funding instructions aren’t complete OR if your lender attempted to pay you via ACH and had a problem. This may happen if your bank told us they won’t allow your account to receive this PPP loan or if your lender’s attempted ACH payment was rejected. You should check that your bank details are correct, that you have a verified bank account selected on the Confirm Funding page. If you believe a payment was attempted and returned you should provide another bank account because once your bank rejects a payment you cannot receive another payment to that account again. This status can take 1-2 weeks to resolve depending on how quickly you provide the required information.

Borrower Funded

This application has been funded. The lender sent the money to the bank account you provided. Depending on your bank, it might take a day or two before the money appears in your bank account.

If you haven’t received funding 20 days after signing your promissory note, please  contact us for help.

Borrower Action Required – Fix Errors

This application has errors. The information you entered into the web form doesn’t match the information you uploaded. Usually this means the amount of your loan request is higher than we can support with the documents you provided.

You can still upload documents if you believe you might have failed to upload them. To upload new documents, please use the Upload Documents option on your status page.

If you do nothing, we’ll automatically reduce your loan request to the amount that your documents support. If this adjustment results in a loan amount we can serve, we’ll move your application forward. If the adjustment results in a loan that we can’t serve, your application will be cancelled.

Womply Cancelled

This application was cancelled by Womply. Typically this means you didn’t provide sufficient information. Or it means our lenders cannot serve you.

If you want to try again, you can start a new application.

Cancellation Requested
