Only Participating DFIs may be ODFIs and RDFIs. A Participating DFI is responsible for its Third-Party Service Providers’ compliance with these Rules. Subsection 1.2.1 Effect of Illegality Nothing in these Rules requires a Participating DFI to debit or credit an account or to transfer funds or take other action required by the Rules if the Participating DFI reasonably believes that taking such action in connection with a specific Entry would violate applicable U.S. Legal Requirements, including the obligations of the Participating DFI under programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). A Participating DFI must comply with all other requirements of these Rules with respect to all other Entries or other aspects of the same Entry, including the timely transmission of Return Entries and the availability of funds from Entries. Article Three Rights and Responsibilities of RDFIs and Their Receivers Section 3.8 RDFI’s Right to Transmit Return Entries An RDFI may return an Entry for any reason, except as otherwise provided for in Subsection 3.8.1 (Restrictions on RDFI’s Right to Transmit Return Entries).

An RDFI must Transmit a Return Entry to its ACH Operator by the ACH Operator’s deposit deadline for the Return Entry to be made available to the ODFI no later than the opening of business on the second Banking Day following the Settlement Date of the original Entry, except as otherwise provided in Subsection 3.8.3 (Exceptions to Timing Requirements for Return Entries) and Section 3.13 (RDFI Right to Transmit Extended Return Entries). A Return Entry that is rejected by an ACH Operator does not satisfy or extend the timing requirements contained in this Section 3.8. Subsection 3.8.1 Restrictions on RDFI’s Right to Transmit Return Entries Subsection 3.8.1.1 RDFI May Not Return an Entry Due to the Type of Entry An RDFI may not return an Entry because it is a particular type of Entry, unless expressly provided for in Subsection 3.8.2 (Exceptions to Restrictions on RDFI’s Right to Transmit Return Entries). Subsection 3.8.1.2 RDFI May Not Return an Entry Based on MICR Data An RDFI may not return an Entry to a Transaction Account based exclusively on data that were accurately obtained from the on-us field of the MICR line of a Check for the account, unless the RDFI had previously initiated a Notification of Change that was not properly acted upon.

The RDFI must use an appropriate Return Reason Code as specified in this Appendix Four. If it uses Return Reason Code R17 [Entry initiated under questionable circumstances], it must specify the reason for the Return. If no appropriate Return Reason Code is defined within this Appendix Four, the RDFI must use the code that most closely approximates the reason for Return. 3 Def_Appx_0010 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 14 of 186 Exhibit 3 W.

MR. LEDERER: I'm sorry. question, please? MR. ROGERS: Could you repeat the Sorry. I'm going to rephrase it. BY MR. ROGERS: Q Among the documents required to be provided were payroll records; correct?

Prestamos CDFI, LLC I would say ten would be a good number. Q Were these typically in person? I guess not during COVID. A No. Given the social distancing environment, everything was not in person. Q Am I correct, as a general matter, that 9 there was a standard form note used by lenders in 10 connection with the PPP? 11 A There was a standard form note. The 12 regulations allowed lenders to either use that one 13 or their own note as well. 14 15 16 Q Okay. Do you know whether in this case Prestamos used the standard form note? A It looks to me, based on what I saw in the 17 Third Amended Complaint, that Prestamos used the 18 standard form note. 19 20 21 22 23 24 Q Let's look at the Third Amended Complaint.

And that at least in some instances 6 -- and we don't have to quantify, and we don't have 7 to get into the reasons why -- at least in some 8 instances that occurred in the PPP; correct? 9 A Yes. 10 Q Okay. And that in the situation I'm 11 describing, the hypothetical situation that I'm 12 describing, that money comes back to me and I 13 cannot -- I cannot pick up the phone or send an 14 email or get together with you in person and say, 15 "Mr. Briggs, this is an SBA-approved loan. 16 person submitted the application. 17 was processed by our LSP, and the Federal Reserve 18 Board gave me the money. 19 Take the money." 20 21 22 23 24 This The application What's the problem here?

Manger, Jr. Page 26 of 186 Alicia Marshall, et al. v. Prestamos CDFI, LLC 1 Q I'm going to start at the beginning. 2 A Yeah. 3 Q You would agree that the borrower seeking a 4 PPP loan needed to provide certain documents 5 evidencing their right to get one of these loans? 6 A Correct. 7 Q And one type of document was payroll 8 records. 9 A That's correct. 10 Q And if the borrower had no payroll, as in 11 the case of a sole proprietor, it needed to provide 12 other types of documents such as tax returns, and, 13 in particular, a Schedule C? 14 A I believe that's correct, yes. 15 Q And that at times the borrower had to 16 provide bank statements evidencing the business 17 activity in which the borrower was engaged? 18 A I believe that's true. 19 Q I want to go back to this concern about 20 21 speed. Can we agree that the speed of processing 22 is inversely related to the volume and nature of 23 documents that are required to be submitted by the 24 borrower? 215-341-3616 transcripts@everestdepo.com Def_Appx_0021 Everest Court Reporting LLC Page: 50 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Deposition of William M. Manger, Jr. Page 27 of 186 Alicia Marshall, et al. v. Prestamos CDFI, LLC 1 Larry rather than just give it to someone else. 2 That's my scenario? 3 A 4 MR. LEDERER: 5 6 Well, yeah, yeah, yeah -Excuse me. Is there a question? BY MR. ROGERS: Q My question is: Can Larry force you to 7 take that money and credit it to Ed Roger's account 8 at Manger Bank & Trust, which you believe doesn't 9 exist? 10 A Well, I would just say if there's no 11 account, you can't put the money in no account. 12 yeah, that's logical. 13 Q Okay. So, And how about the next item is an 14 "Invalid Account Number Initiated Under Questionable 15 Circumstances." 16 17 18 Can Larry force you to take the money in that instance? A Again, if -- I've had this happen to me, 19 actually, with an ACH. 20 that was incorrect. 21 account, the one number off made it very difficult. 22 So in that instance the bank reached out to me and 23 said we're having a problem with this. 24 us verify your account number. I had one number in a series Although I have a legitimate Can you help And then I actually 215-341-3616 transcripts@everestdepo.com Def_Appx_0022 Everest Court Reporting LLC Page: 86 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Deposition of William M. Manger, Jr. Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 28 of 186 Alicia Marshall, et al. v. Prestamos CDFI, LLC 1 told the bank, this is the correct number, and then 2 they said, oh, yes, we were one digit wrong in the 3 series of numbers that we had for the account, so 4 now that we've corrected it, now -- now it will 5 work. 6 So, again, I would say that you'd have to 7 -- the lender would have to understand why this 8 wasn't working properly and try and rectify the 9 situation just like my bank did with my ACH account. 10 Q 11 MR. ROGERS: 12 13 Okay. Let's build on that example. We can take down the document now. BY MR. ROGERS: Q Are you aware, sitting here today, based on 14 your review of the Castillo Declaration, that 15 Prestamos had a process to correct errors of the 16 type you mentioned, among others, and it was 17 referred to as the reverification process? 18 MR. LEDERER: 19 A Yeah. Objection to form. I mean, they may have had that 20 system. 21 whether it was used in every instance. 22 BY MR. ROGERS: 23 24 Q Again, I don't -- I'm not able to say I'm not asking you whether it was used in every instance. 215-341-3616 transcripts@everestdepo.com Def_Appx_0023 Everest Court Reporting LLC Page: 87 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Deposition of William M.

It -- it -- yes, I see that. 5 Q Yes. So I want to make sure I'm understanding 6 the document correctly, consistent with your 7 experience as the -- you know, experience at the 8 SBA. 9 A Yeah. 10 Q As part of the required documents, a 11 borrower needed to direct the lender to transfer the 12 loan proceeds to the borrower's bank account; am I 13 correct? 14 A Yes. 15 Q So in this case we have redacted the 16 account number to protect Ms. Marshall's privacy, 17 but the -- 18 A Sure. 19 Q -- but am I correct that this form shows 20 that Ms. Marshall directed Prestamos to put money -- 21 to put the loan proceeds into her account at Evolve 22 Bank & Trust, and then she listed the account number 23 and the routing; correct? 24 A That's what it appears to be, yes. 215-341-3616 transcripts@everestdepo.com Def_Appx_0024 Everest Court Reporting LLC Page: 91 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Deposition of William M. Manger, Jr. 1 2 Page 30 of 186 Alicia Marshall, et al. v. Prestamos CDFI, LLC was not, prior to reading this Declaration? A I don't know if I remembered anything about 3 a specific process that I had knowledge of, and -- 4 yeah, and then -- yeah, it gets more confusing in 5 that it says that if it didn't go through, they got 6 like a prepaid card. 7 So it gets more confusing because, 8 obviously, that wasn't part of the PPP, to get 9 prepaid cards. 10 That's out of my realm of understanding in regard to 11 the Paycheck Protection Program. 12 Q Okay. So I can't really speak to that. Now I want to go back to paragraph 13 20 of your opening report, and we're going to go to 14 the middle of page 7. 15 below the middle of the page. 16 highlight it for us. 17 report. 18 It says -- it's just a little Chesley will This, again, is your opening "A mere attempt to fund a loan, or an 19 attempt to do so that, for instance, the borrower's 20 bank rejected, should have resulted in the loan 21 being cancelled in SBA's e-tran system." 22 Do you see that? 23 A Yes. 24 Q Is it your view that consistent with the 215-341-3616 transcripts@everestdepo.com Def_Appx_0025 Everest Court Reporting LLC Page: 96 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Document 157-3 Deposition of William M.

Prestamos CDFI, LLC 1 program, Prestamos should not have given the 2 borrower a second chance to satisfy the 3 documentation requirements, but should simply have 4 cancelled the loan if it was rejected by the bank 5 the first time? 6 A No. The lender should have tried to clear 7 up with the borrower any of the, you know, 8 documentation that didn't, you know, seem to be 9 accurate. 10 account number was off. 11 Q 12 Like my example, one of the digits in the Right. And that's consistent with the purpose and 13 the intent of the program that you were in charge of 14 running, that you wanted to get the money out and 15 you wanted to maximize the federal financial support 16 to COVID-affected small businesses? 17 18 19 A Correct. And I think what I stated here is completely in line with that. Q So, in other words, when you say a mere 20 attempt to fund a loan, included in the mere attempt 21 is this verification -- reverification process? 22 A Yes.

PRESTAMOS CDFI, LLC, Defendant. DECLARATION OF DAVID CASTILLO Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I hereby declare as follows: 1. My name is David Castillo. I am over the age of 18 and competent to make this declaration, which is based on my personal knowledge. 2. I have been employed by Prestamos CDFI, LLC (“Prestamos”) since September 02, 2014. I am currently Senior Credit Officer with Prestamos and have served in that role since November 2023. Prior to this, I was Portfolio Manager. 3. Under my new role, I am responsible for managing risk. See Job Description for more detail. 4. Prestamos is a Community Development Financial Institution (“CDFI”) created in 2000 with the mission of building strong communities by providing small business owners access to capital through non-traditional financing resources. 5. CDFIs are certified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are private-sector, financial intermediaries that work to supply tools to economically disadvantaged individuals and underserved communities to become self-sufficient. DMFIRM #413350610 v1 Def_Appx_0027 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG 6. Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 34 of 186 Prestamos is committed to supporting small businesses that face barriers to securing credit from traditional lending sources because of smaller loan requests, a need for flexible underwriting, or the need for assistance to meet underwriting standards. 7. In its capacity as a CDFI, Prestamos provides financial services, loans, investments; training and technical assistance services, and promotes development efforts that enable individuals and communities to effectively use credit and capital. Prestamos works with communities in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. 8. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which included the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP was designed to help small businesses, include sole proprietors, continue to pay their workers during the pandemic. 9. In May 2020, the U.S. Small Business Association (“SBA”)—the federal agency responsible for reviewing and approving PPP loans—allowed CDFI lenders to participate in the PPP loan process as part of the second round of PPP funding. On or around April 2020, the SBA approved Prestamos to act as a PPP lender. 10. Prestamos was a lender through its own SPARK program and through its contact with Blueacorn. 11. Prestamos approved 494,415 PPP loans, and completed 3,146 loans through SPARK and 460,841 loans with the assistance of Blueacorn. Some approved borrowers did not sign SBA Form 147, the loan note, and their loans were never funded. 12. Prestamos began working with Blueacorn, as its lender service provider for PPP, in April 2021. Prestamos and Blueacorn agreed that Blueacorn would include Prestamos among the DMFIRM #413350610 v1 2 Def_Appx_0028 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 35 of 186 lenders Blueacorn used when submitting PPP loan applications to the SBA, and Prestamos agreed to use Blueacorn for due diligence. 13. While not a lender itself, Blueacorn committed to connect PPP lenders with borrowers. Blueacorn partnered with an advertising company that directed prospective PPP borrowers to Blueacorn’s website. 14. Once there, Blueacorn outlined that a potential borrower could submit information to determine if they met the criteria for a PPP loan and, if so, the potential borrower could then use the Blueacorn website to provide the additional information needed to complete a PPP loan application. 15. After a potential borrower completed a PPP loan application, Blueacorn committed to conducting an initial round of due diligence to determine if the applicant met the SBA requirements. Blueacorn committed to use individual reviewers along with proprietary software to conduct due diligence. 16. Blueacorn outlined that once it completed due diligence on an application, it would submit the application to the SBA for approval and would designate a PPP lender (sometimes Prestamos). 17. Once Blueacorn submitted an application to the SBA, the SBA would make a decision approving or denying the application. The SBA did not approve all applications. 18. If the SBA denied an application, Prestamos generally did not take any further 19. If the SBA approved a PPP loan application, the applicant was required to execute action. a promissory note and other loan documents. Blueacorn committed to transmitting those documents to each borrower and, once completed, returned the documents to Prestamos. DMFIRM #413350610 v1 3 Def_Appx_0029 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG 20. Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 36 of 186 Once the SBA approved a borrower’s PPP loan application and the borrower signed and returned the promissory note and loan documents, Prestamos would either send an Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) payment electronically to the account the borrower designated on the loan documents or cancel the loan. 21. Pursuant to the CARES Act, the Federal Reserve maintained a credit facility from which PPP lenders could borrow funds for use in issuing PPP loans. 22. When a borrower’s PPP loan application was approved by the SBA, and the borrower signed a promissory note, Prestamos would request a credit advance from the Federal Reserve. 23. If Prestamos canceled a loan, it was usually because the application was flagged by Blueacorn’s software for suspected fraud. 24. This suspected fraud could be because of issues relating to identity verification, business verification, and/or financial verification among other things, including bank rejections of loan proceeds by banking institutions that had established Anti-Money Laundering/Bank Secrecy Act (“AML/BSA”) policies, as well as information collision (e,g., when borrowers used the same address or Schedule C, etc.). 25. Notably, this entire process took place on a very compressed time schedule. In approximately six weeks, Prestamos funded 463,987 PPP loans. On average, it took Prestamos 8 days from the time the SBA approved a borrower’s application to fund the borrower’s PPP loan. 26. Because of the high volume of PPP loans for which Prestamos acted as the lender, Prestamos sent orders to its bank, Evolve Bank & Trust (“Evolve”), for ACH payments in batches by compiling the information needed to make a given payment (i.e., borrower name, recipient bank, payment amount, account, and routing number) into a single spreadsheet. DMFIRM #413350610 v1 4 Def_Appx_0030 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG 27. Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 37 of 186 Prestamos’ bank, Evolve would then provide confirmation that the requested ACH payments were made to borrowers. 28. Prestamos is a non-depository bank, and did not (and does not) have the liquidity that other SBA-approved PPP lenders had. As a result, in order to fund PPP loans, Prestamos needed a credit advance from the Federal Reserve. 29. In order for the Federal Reserve to release the funds for a credit advance, Prestamos had to submit both the SBA Form 1502 to the SBA and the “Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility PPP Pledge and Advance Request” to the Federal Reserve—i.e., Prestamos had to submit SBA Form 1502 before any money was released by the Federal Reserve or deposited into a borrower’s account. 30. Before drafting this declaration, I reviewed paragraphs 20 and 43 of Plaintiffs’ expert William Briggs’s report, as well as paragraphs 20 and 23 of Plaintiffs’ expert William Manger’s report. Both Briggs and Manger state that lenders were supposed to file SBA Form 1502 after a PPP loan was funded. That may have been true for depository banks that were also PPP lenders. But for non-depository banks like Prestamos—who had to rely on credit advances from the Federal Reserve—that was not possible. 31. The “loan status” section of SBA Form 1502 needed to be filled out as “Funded,” “Undisbursed,” or “Cancelled.” Prestamos used “Funded” in order to initiate the credit advance from the Federal Reserve. 32. A small percentage of the PPP loans that Prestamos funded in the manner described above were rejected by the borrowers’ banks. In other words, the loan funds were sent electronically from Prestamos’s bank, Evolve, by ACH payment, the borrower’s bank received the funds, and the borrower’s bank returned or rejected the funds. DMFIRM #413350610 v1 5 Def_Appx_0031 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG 33. Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 38 of 186 ACH payments, including loans, may be rejected for a number of reasons. In fact, there are more than eighty (80) ACH “return codes” that a receiving depository financial institution (“RDFI”) may use when returning an ACH payment to the originating depository financial institution (“ODFI”). 34. The same was true for PPP loans. For example, borrowers’ banks returned ACH payments because the borrower’s bank account was closed, frozen, subject to a stop payment, invalid, nonexistent, or unable to be located. The ACH payment may also have been returned because the account holder was deceased, the name on the account did not match the name listed in the requested ACH, or a governmental agency told the bank to reject the loan funds. 35. Moreover, a bank’s policies could have caused the rejection of the borrower’s ACH payment. For example, the borrower may have identified a personal bank account that could not accept business loans (such as a PPP loan). A borrower’s bank may have rejected loan funds for a number of other reasons, including: the account was non-depository; the account holder failed to submit required documentation; or the bank detected fraud. 36. When a borrower’s bank rejected an ACH payment, it would notify Prestamos of the rejection and the ACH return code, along with any other reasons listed for not depositing the funds. 37. Pursuant to its contract with Prestamos, Blueacorn was responsible for addressing the ACH return issues with the borrowers through reverification. Blueacorn resolved a large number of PPP loan rejections, which enabled those borrowers to receive the full amount of their PPP loans. For some borrowers whose ACH payment did not go through, their PPP loan was deposited on a prepaid card and sent to them. DMFIRM #413350610 v1 6 Def_Appx_0032 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG 38. Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 39 of 186 Notably, the rules governing PPP loans required banks to act consistent with their AML/BSA compliance programs. Prestamos is not a depository bank, and therefore did not have a AML/BSA compliance program. Instead, if an ACH payment was flagged by a borrower’s bank consistent with its AML/BSA compliance program, it triggered Prestamos’s reverification process. 39. In addition, in March 2021, the SBA Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Secret Service Office of Investigations issued guidance to Prestamos and other PPP lenders that, if a borrower’s bank rejected PPP loan funds, it was a sign of suspicious activity by the borrower. Based on this guidance, Prestamos and other lenders began to conduct enhanced due diligence for those borrowers. 40. Blueacorn committed to perform this enhanced due diligence, which included the close examination of the borrower’s file (as opposed to the generalized review that was conducted at the application and submission stage). Prestamos understands that the precise steps taken during the enhanced due diligence process were not uniform, but varied depending on the ACH return code or any other specific issue identified as causing the failed deposit. 41. Enhanced due diligence consisted of additional steps, such as requesting submission of additional identification, asking security questions, and/or seeking additional financial information (e.g., tax returns or bank statements). 42. Blueacorn committed to manually review the entire loan file and looked for any evidence of fraud or other suspicious activity. During the manual review, Blueacorn could potentially identify a separate reason, aside from that identified by the ACH return code, that the loan should not be funded. Blueacorn could follow up with the borrower about these lateridentified issues. DMFIRM #413350610 v1 7 Def_Appx_0033 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG 43. Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 40 of 186 If a borrower cleared the enhanced due diligence process, Prestamos would fund the loan again by instructing Evolve to issue an ACH payment to the borrower’s bank account. For some borrowers, this second attempt to fund the loan was successful. In some cases, however, the borrower’s bank once again rejected the funds. 44. If a borrower’s bank rejected the PPP loan ACH payment a second time, Prestamos usually did not make further attempts to deposit the loan amount. 45. Similarly, if a borrower failed the enhanced due diligence process—either because the borrower failed to resolve the issue identified during the first payment attempt or failed to resolve evidence of fraud or suspicious activity discovered during the enhanced due diligence— Prestamos generally did not make further attempts to pay the PPP loan funds. 46. Prestamos was required to submit SBA Form 1502 monthly to report updates on the status of PPP loans. During reverification and/or the enhanced due diligence process, Prestamos would keep the loan status as “Funded” on SBA Form 1502. 47. If a party failed the reverification and/or enhanced due diligence process, or failed to provide the documents Blueacorn requested to complete the process, Prestamos changed the loan status from “Funded” to “Cancelled” on SBA Form 1502. 48. As a general matter, Prestamos’s practice regarding approved loans—consistent with SBA guidance for PPP loans and other SBA loans—was to direct Evolve to disburse the money. Once the ACH payment was initiated and sent to the borrower’s bank, Prestamos’s role in the PPP loan disbursement process was complete, subject to any reverification by Blueacorn. 49. Indeed, once Evolve attempted to make an ACH payment at Prestamos’s request, Prestamos did not have control over the ultimate disposition of the funds and was not in a position DMFIRM #413350610 v1 8 Def_Appx_0034 Case 5:21-cv-04337-JMG Document 157-3 Filed 05/07/25 Page 41 of 186 to override or dispute any rejection by a borrower’s bank, which, as noted above, was often a result of a borrower’s bank’s AML/BSA compliance program. 50. Unlike other SBA loan programs, and because of the quick turnaround required by the program, PPP loans did not go through full underwriting, which would likely have prevented the actions taken by some borrower’s banks, including returning ACH payments or freezing them. 51. In September 2021, Prestamos returned the credit advances from the Federal Reserve for loans that were ultimately not funded. I certify under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on August 9, 2024.
