On Tuesday February 21st, the SBA launched their brand new MySBA Loan Portal to help EIDL loan borrowers manage and make payments. This is the biggest change the SBA has made related to the EIDL program in months and one of the biggest technology shifts for the SBA in years.

Here's a quick recap of the portal, including a recap video, screenshots of the portal, and a full video with the exclusive interview with Alejandro Contreras, an SBA Director, on the new SBA portal.

What Should You Know About the New SBA Portal?

There are actually a few new features that are live and many more in the works:

• You can now check your EIDL loan balance, see EIDL loan documents, and make EIDL payments in one place on MySBA Loan Portal.
• You can now message the SBA directly from the portal, or receive messages from them there.

In addition, the SBA has multiple things in the works to keep improving this. This includes helping people register as women-owned or minority-owned businesses. This also includes tracking and paying SBA 7A loans.
