The Notorious Banker has helped 3 people get PPP Loans through Bank of America's gauntlet this week.
My sincere thanks to the following businesses who I helped get through the hard stuff and get these loans
Maine Academy of Gymnastics in Westbrook, ME
Isabel O'Neil Bridal in Tampa, FL
Working on 5 more across the US. We will work hard to get this done for these amazing American small businesses :)
I discuss why BofA's decision to donate all PPP Profits kind of influences how hard they work, since they are working for nothing.
Plus, I get into how their low-ball offers for applicants mimics how they do auto loans, or should I say discourages clients into getting auto loans from them.
Finally, I discuss a news story in Tampa, FL where a customer held a "sit-in" for 6 hours to get help with a PPP Loan, and BofA BS'ed the client and the reporter with the phoniest email address ever: ppp_help@bofa.com. LOL
Then,
I get into the worst email a BofA exec has ever sent my follower. My friend Seth asked New Hampshire Market President Ken Sheldon for $14 for a monthly fee refund, and the reply back essentially tells Seth that because Amazon, Netflix, Peloton, booze distributors and baking companies (Not banking, BAKING!) are succeeding that using the Coronavirus as an excuse for a refund is not valid.
Plus he mentions that since BofA is investing in charities nationwide, that they NEED Seth's fee to make that happen. He also mentions BofA PAYING for employees lunches somehow keeps them safe from the virus. (???)
Here's a sample quote: "to broadly waive fees to even those that don’t need the help at this time would be impractical and disable our ability to help those in true need."
You gotta listen to my bank voice version of this! Haha
