Ask HN: Did you get rejected for a PPP loan for foreign ownership?

1 points by throwaway_USD ↗ HN
I know there are a lot of tech startup with foreign ownership (probably a good percentage of the companies set up by Stripe Atlas).

Foreign ownership, in whole or part, of the borrower should not be a consideration but I have seen multiple entities rejected (from PayPal and Chase) citing foreign ownership (interestingly PayPal's rule prohibited foreign ownership over 20% and Chase prohibited ownership over 49% by foreign companies which did not apply to foreign individuals).

I know other foreign owned entities have qualified for PPP loans https://www.prwatch.org/news/2020/05/13577/foreign-owned-entertainment-company-lands-federal-covid-19-loan
