7(a) Loan Guarantee Program Update - FTA Migration |
SBA is working with the incoming FTA Guidehouse to migrate all 7(a) Loan Guarantee Program systems into SBA’s environment to improve security and integration. Once complete, the industry will be able to access FTA applications through SBA’s Capital Access Financial System (CAFS).
As a result of this migration, Colson’s 1502-related applications (1502 Dashboard and Connection) will be retired and replaced by the new 1502 Gateway within CAFS. The 1502 Gateway will contain the CARES Act module which will allow users to submit and report CARES Act-related loan and payment information.
WHEN: August 24, 3-4 pm CT
To help familiarize users with the CARES Act module, the FTA will host a virtual training session on Tuesday, August 24th from 3-4 pm CT. To join the webinar, please use this link. Note – there is no dial in for the event. It will be held via MS Teams Webcast only. To listen in, you will need speakers on your laptop or computer.
If you are not available to join the virtual training session live, the FTA has informational and training resources for the 1502 Gateway that are available anytime on the FTA Wiki in Downloads and Resources section:
More training materials related specifically to the CARES Act Module will be made available soon. If you have any specific questions, please contact the new FTA Customer Service Team at FTA@SBA.gov.
On August 30th, 2021, payments made to and from the Fiscal Transfer Agent (FTA) for the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 7a loan guarantee program will transition from Colson Services Corp. to Guidehouse.
Guidehouse has elected Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (Wells Fargo) as a banking partner to administer and provide banking logistics for the FTA on behalf of SBA. As a result, FTA bank account information will change, and thus, payment remittance instructions must change accordingly.
This notice covers changes in transaction information for payments to and from the FTA and all related changes to investor statements and payee correspondence.
