U.S. bankers racing to grab $310 billion in fresh small-business aid worked through the night on Tuesday, with many battling ongoing technology problems created by 11th hour changes to the first-come-first-served program, multiple bankers said.

The flood of new applications, combined with changes to the SBA loan submission process made on Sunday, caused technology problems for many banks using the SBA’s “E-Tran” processing website, which was not designed to handle so much traffic. Banks were sitting on hundreds of thousands of backlogged loan applications after the first $349 billion round of funding released on April 3 was exhausted in less than two weeks.

“I have been trying to access E-Tran since 10:30 yesterday. I have not had a connection for longer than a couple minutes. This is not the result of pacing. This is the result of a system that isn’t working,” Maria Amoruso, an executive at NexTier Bank in the Pittsburgh area, said in a post on Twitter.

Sorry, but this isn't going to go to small businesses. We've already seen what they think is a 'small business'.

One of the troubles with this country are the banks, keep them out of the small business loans in the bailout. Keep big Banks out today.
