- Maintain a Professional and Personal Dividing Line
It is crucial to maintain a professional and personal dividing line in one’s behavior with customers. - Communications May Be Subject to Review
All communications, whether by text or email, may be subject to review in the case of fraud or other ethical violations. This highlights the need to be mindful of what is being communicated and to ensure that all communications are ethical and professional. - Truthfulness and Transparency Are Essential
Truthfulness and transparency are essential in all dealings with customers and stakeholders. It is important to be transparent and truthful in all dealings, and to avoid behavior that is contrary to policy and procedure. - Be Aware of Stakeholder Expectations
It is important to be aware of the expectations of regulators and other stakeholders in one’s work. This includes understanding the SBA loan certification process and what it entails. - SBA Lenders Have a Duty to Disclose
Lenders have a duty to disclose information that may impact decisions on granting credit or eligibility. This means being transparent about any information that could impact eligibility or the decision to grant credit. - Consistent Behavior is Key
Behavior that is contrary to policy and procedure is not acceptable. It is important to act in a manner that aligns with policy and procedure. - Fraud is a Serious Topic
Fraud is an interesting topic to discuss, but it is important to remember that for fraudsters it is ongoing. It is important to avoid behavior that could be perceived as fraudulent. - Understand the SBA Loan Certification Process
It is important to understand the SBA loan certification process. This includes being aware of the requirements for certification and the potential consequences of non-compliance. - Don’t Turn a Blind Eye

Lenders should avoid putting themselves in compromising situations with customers or colleagues. This means being aware of the potential consequences of certain behaviors and avoiding behavior that could be perceived as inappropriate or unprofessional.
