Case Study: Unity Bank secures $130M and nearly 1,000 PPP loans for small businesses with Abrigo

Unity Bank Partnering to Provide Community Solutions in Critical Times

Unity Bank, a $1.7 billion community bank with 19 branches in New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley, faced the urgent challenge of rapidly delivering Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans during the COVID-19 crisis while preserving its personalized service. To expand business funding options without sacrificing customer experience, Unity Bank partnered with Abrigo and adopted Abrigo’s SBA Lending solution.

Abrigo’s SBA Lending solution automated PPP underwriting, enabled forgiveness processing, and provided SBA reporting tools, greatly accelerating loan handling compared with manual processes. Using Abrigo’s platform, community financial institutions processed over 100,000 PPP applications, and Unity Bank secured $130 million in funding and nearly 1,000 loans for small businesses in need — demonstrating measurable impact and faster access to critical capital.
