Canada Emergency Business Account Program Bank Portals (CEBA)
To address the challenges of COVID-19, the Canadian government has established an emergency account for businesses. This program allows small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and non-profit organizations (NPOs) to apply for a loan, interest-free until December 31, 2022.
If you are a qualifying small business customer, the Canada Emergency Business Account provides access to a $40,000 loan:
- 0% interest until December 31, 2022
- No principal payments until December 31, 2022
- Principal repayments can be voluntarily made at any time without fees or penalties
- $10,000 loan forgiveness is available, provided $30,000 is paid back on or before December 31, 2022
- If any part of the balance is not paid by December 31, 2022, the remaining balance will be converted to a 3-year term loan at 5% annual interest, paid monthly, effective January 1, 2023
- The full balance must be repaid by no later than December 31, 2025
