**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
SBA is transforming how customers interact with the agency via the development of an online MySBA platform that will allow customers to see all their SBA products and services summarized in a single place. MySBA will also allow customers to quickly switch between existing and future SBA digital tools, like the MySBA Loan Portal and VetCert, with single credentials and one account. Finally, MySBA will highlight additional SBA products and services beneficial to them based on their customer or business information.
So the SBA can provide relevant information, customers may be asked to provide information that fall into three functional areas: Account Registration, Validation and Authentication, and Business Services.
