SBA account login and registration portals

Borrowers applying for SBA disaster loans can use the MySBA Loan Portal (lending.sba.gov) to apply and check the status of their application. 

Existing borrowers can use the MySBA Loan Portal to make payments and view loan documents on the following loan types:

• All SBA disaster loans, including COVID-19 EIDL and physical loss loans
• Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans (payments only available for guaranty-purchased loans)
• 7(a) loans (payments only available for guaranty-purchased SBA-serviced loans)
• 504 loans (only debenture-purchased loans)

For other SBA loans, you can continue to set up and manage online payments at Pay.gov. 

For Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) borrowers whose lender is participating in direct forgiveness, you can use the direct forgiveness application portal (directforgiveness.sba.gov).

For borrowers whose PPP lender is not participating in direct forgiveness, you must contact your lender for instructions on how to apply for PPP loan forgiveness.
