Jeffrey A. Hilzinger, Marlin’s president and CEO, said, “Marlin continues to carefully evaluate the public health crisis and resulting economic dislocation to its small business customers resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. Beginning in early March, we initiated a series of measures to protect our employees from the effects of the pandemic, carefully manage our liquidity and capital position, and protect the value of our portfolio. We are continuing to lend and support our customers and partners during these challenging times. In addition, for existing customers and partners, we have implemented programs to help them weather the crisis including a payment deferral program for customers that have been directly impacted by COVID-19, and we are a participating lender in the second round of funding under the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program administered by the SBA.”

Hilzinger continued, “As we navigate this evolving and uncertain environment, we remain focused on the tasks at hand—supporting our employees, valued customers and partners while ensuring business continuity and financial stability.  This has been a particularly stressful time for our employees, and I want to thank all of my colleagues for their deep commitment to our company and our customers during this unprecedented experience. We look forward to serving our customers and communities well in a time of need and emerging from this crisis as a stronger enterprise.”
