Below are some helpful tips when completing the application:
- To ensure full loan forgiveness we recommend members wait a minimum of 10 weeks with 24 weeks being preferred to apply for forgiveness.
- Use the email you normally receive correspondence from WESTconsin Credit Union to validate your identity.
- You may apply either from your phone, tablet or laptop computer, however slow internet speeds may reduce platform performance. If you are having trouble connecting, try again with a different device or location with increased internet speed.
- If you need help finding your Business Industry (NAICS Code) you can search keywords of your business in the Business Industry box.
