Northfield Bank Now Accepting Paycheck Protection Program Requests For Applications

Northfield Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFBK), announced today that it has begun accepting requests to apply for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

Although the Small Business Administration (SBA) is not yet accepting PPP applications from any sources other than Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), business owners may visit www.eNorthfield.com/ppp to submit a Paycheck Protection Program Application Request Form.  An application link will be emailed to eligible customers who submit the Request Form.  Eligible applications will be uploaded to the SBA once they begin accepting applications from banking institutions.

Northfield has also dedicated processing teams for small businesses with 10 or less employees and businesses in low-to-moderate income areas.  Business owners in either of these two groups must be located in Northfield’s market area, but do not need to be an existing Northfield Bank customer, though they will be required to open a business account to fund their Northfield Bank PPP loan if approved.

Additional PPP information can be found at www.eNorthfield.com/ppp.
