How the incentive works

Eligible customers may receive an annual incentive equal to 1% of their outstanding loan balance for up to five years.

1% Annual rate

The incentive is calculated on the outstanding balance (Principal Not Due) of the SCIP eligible portion of the project, not the total loan amount, on the anniversary of the disbursement annually.

Five years paid over time

You can collect the incentive for up to five years, tied to the SCIP-eligible portion of your project as it amortizes.

Apply early

Customers must apply at or before loan origination, before funds have been disbursed.

Eligible assets

Eligible assets include equipment, technology or construction initiatives that reduce emissions, enhance soil health, boost biodiversity and improve water quality.
