“The PLP authority granted by the SBA enables Voyager Lending, a division of Merchants & Marine Bank, to approve most SBA loans in-house, expediting the approval process by eliminating the need for a separate SBA review,” explains Matthew McElveen, President of Voyager Lending, the Government Guaranteed Lending division of Merchants & Marine Bank. “While adhering to all SBA 7(a) Loan Program requirements for originating, closing, servicing, and liquidation, our PLP status empowers us to make local decisions and streamline the lending process for our clients. This translates to faster turnaround times and a more responsive experience for your business.”

The agreement was made on April 17, 2024, between Merchants & Marine Bank and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
