Do you have questions about the status of your CEBA application?


The CEBA Self-serve portal, created by EDC, is a new option for all applicants to log in and check the status of their CEBA application.

This portal will also help applicants, who applied under the non-deferrable expense stream, identify which of their uploaded documents have been successful and which ones were not.

The applicant will have to wait a few days following the submission of their loan application before details are available on the portal.

The portal will direct applicants to contact the CEBA Contact Centre if further support is required.

Click here to access the CEBA Self serve portal. 

Contact the new CEBA Call Centre at 1-888-324-4201 to receive a status update on your CEBA application. 

Please follow this link for more information: https://ceba-cuec.ca/

To make a payment to your CEBA loan, contact your Relationship Manager or our Contact Centre at 1-844-826-6500. 


Can I pay my CEBA loan in installments?
Yes. Simply discuss this option with your Relationship Manager or the Contact Centre Representative when you contact them. 


Where can I find the current balance of my CEBA loan?
You can view your CEBA loan (including the current balance) via online banking and on your monthly statement. 


Please be advised that if you pay more than 75% of the principal balance prior to December 31, 2022, you will not receive the full 25% of advanced funds as a repayment incentive.

For example:
If you originally received $40,000 and you pay $32,000 back before December 31, 2022, the pre-payment incentive received will be $8,000. 

While cybersecurity is an ongoing and very serious issue at the best of times, security experts say the spike in email scams during this coronavirus pandemic is the worst they have seen in years. This includes scams arising through email, text, phone or door to door.

Examples of scams:

• Emails and texts from a financial institution asking you to click a link to be pre-approved for a low-interest rate loan to help you through these uncertain times
• Email from someone in your company requesting to upload personnel information, or to send an urgent wire transfer.
• Email advising to open an attachment from the World Health Organization (WHO) for more information on COVID-19
• Fear-mongering emails, such as "Virus is now airborne" or "products Made in China have virus on them" and have a link to get more information
• Emails from seemingly legitimate sources asking you to click "Donate here to help", or "Click here to see the tax cuts", or "Your Zoom attendees are waiting."
• Phone call from government or health providers requesting credit card or banking information

Stay vigilant:

• ​Tips for email in your work/personal email inboxes, for texts, and for phone calls
• Be suspicious of any email or text that asks you to do something out of the ordinary
• Do not open any attachment from an unknown sender, including known businesses
• Hover over any links within any received email to view the URL address of that link; do not click that link before confirming the URL it links to
• If you receive an email or text from any business or service with a link to click that seems legitimate, do not click the link, but rather go to the original website
• Do not provide any financial/credit card or personal information to anyone via email, text or over the phone, regardless of how legitimate it sounds
• Be sure that any action you are taking at your business is a legitimate request: emails from CEO, COO, etc., that are out of the ordinary must be confirmed with that person

Recommended action:

If you are a business, stay vigilant and report suspicious activity within your organization. Make sure all your employees see this information so they can stay aware as well. Post this information for your customers, on your websites and on your social media channels.

***A number of phone and online scams continue to circulate. A new one is a phone call supposedly from  MB hydro to say that your electricity will be cut off if you don’t pay a bill. Hydro has stopped doing any disconnections at this time. Hang up if contacted in this way
