Do you have a CEBA loan?

If you have an existing loan under the Canada Emergency Business Account program (CEBA), the deadline for repayment to qualify for partial loan forgiveness (as provided for under the terms of the CEBA program) is January 18, 2024.

If you have an outstanding balance on your loan, other than the amount available to be forgiven, as of January 19, 2024, you will no longer qualify for loan forgiveness and interest on the outstanding balance will commence at an interest rate of 5% per year. The full balance of your loan will be due on or before December 31^st, 2026.

If you have any questions regarding your CEBA loan, including your current balance or making arrangements for repayment, CUA’s Commercial Team is here to help. Please reach out to your Account Manager or Small Business Advisor directly, or contact CUA’s Customer Contact Centre at info@cua.com or 902.492.6500.
