What is "ACH Withdrawal SBA EIDL LOAN"?

SBA EIDL Loan is not a merchant but rather a financial assistance program provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program has been in operation for several decades, primarily designed to help businesses and nonprofit organizations recover from declared disasters. It offers long-term, low-interest loans aimed at covering working capital and operating expenses that businesses otherwise would have been able to pay had the disaster not occurred. The program does not sell retail products but provides financial support through loans to eligible entities.
