The thing here is the bank isn’t taking any risk here. All the loans are guaranteed by the government. So banks are really just a middle man that is transferring money from the SBA to a small business’s bank account and taking on zero credit risk.

The government has the ability to send funds directly to people obviously...that’s how they are sending the stimulus checks and send tax refunds.

Banks are basically being compensated for doing paperwork.
