We are pleased to announce a new zero-rate advance opportunity for all of our member institutions through a new COVID-19 Relief Advance.

Our new COVID-19 Relief Advance opens on Monday, May 3, 2021, with funds available through Friday, May 28, 2021.

Introducing a New COVID-19 Relief Advance

We have allocated enough funds for all member and associate members to execute a COVID-19 Relief Advance up to $5 million. The advance terms include:

• 1-year zero-rate advance
• Maximum borrowing amount up to $5 million
• A request for this advance can be made one time per member or associate member institution
• 2% Reduced Capitalization Advance Program (RCAP) activity stock requirement
• Advance is pre-payable at any time without a pre-payment fee
• Requests for this advance can be made throughout the week, but advance proceeds will be funded once per week on Fridays (May 7, 14, 21, and 28)
• Funds are subject to our regular collateral requirements; in the near-term, we encourage you to ensure your institution has the necessary collateral capacity to take out this advance

Next Steps

If your existing COVID-19 Relief Advance matures before one of the aforementioned funding dates:

• Apply right away for the new COVID-19 Relief Advance. The application can be found here
• You can either have a gap in funds until your funding date, or you can contact your Sales Director for cost-efficient strategies to fund this short gap

If your existing COVID-19 Relief Advance matures after one of the aforementioned funding dates:

• Apply for the new COVID-19 Relief Advance the week before your existing advance matures
