The Paycheck Protection Program, which restarted this week with $284 billion in pandemic-relief loans for U.S. small businesses, will open to small banks on Friday and all lenders next Tuesday.

Banks with $1 billion or less in assets will be able to send in applications for business owners seeking a PPP loans for the first time and those applying for a second one on Friday at 9 a.m., the U.S. Small Business Administration said. All PPP lenders will have access to the agency’s loan portal next week.
