MELVILLE, NY – April 20, 2020 – Intellicheck, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDN) has received $796,100 in funds from the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program for small businesses passed by Congress in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The funds come in the form of loans pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) that are aimed at supporting small businesses in addressing the ongoing costs of doing business as the pandemic continues. A key provision of the CARES Act is that the loans become grants and do not have to be repaid if businesses maintain their current staffing level.
Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis said the Company remains on solid footing at this time and sees these funds as an added benefit going forward. “Applying for and receiving these funds makes good business sense. With our growing online business, the continuing revenue flow from existing contracts, and the continued pace of implementations with new clients, we believe we remain well- positioned as we continue to monitor developments from the impact of the coronavirus.”
Lewis noted that fraud is not going away. “The coronavirus is making an already bad situation worse. Identity theft and fraud is skyrocketing. In addition to the personally identifiable data fraudsters have stockpiled from the record-setting pace of data breaches, bad actors are using coronavirus-related scams to inflict more damage. We believe that there is a continued need for our advanced technology solutions in markets ranging from banks and credit card issuers to retailers and healthcare organizations,” said Lewis.
