Charge banks a fine for each late CBILS decision.
The government to apply a fine of say £100 (amount flexible) for each working day over the bank's defined timeline. The amounts raised would be the banking community generous gesture to create a Business Support fund to help businesses that may struggle to repay the loans.
As with late loan payments a charge is applied, the banks rarely care about the reasons for lateness. The banks need motivation to move money. It is not that they cannot because they can offer loans within days but these are their own products of less than £5000 not the CBILS. Eg. majority tax payer owned NatWest state ten working days for a decision, but this doesn't happen. People have been waiting for over 20 working days now which is totally unacceptable and is going to destroy businesses.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government has created the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, but the process for granting loans under this scheme is a matter for individual lenders, and not the Government or House of Commons, and the Government does not have any powers to fine banks for delays in making decisions.
You could start a petition calling for the Government to stop banks from providing loans under this scheme if they fail to meet certain conditions, such as making decisions within a certain timeframe.
