Ukrainian parolees are finding an entrepreneurially supportive environment in Minnesota. Bankable provides revenue-based funding for Minnesota parolee businesses based entirely on their verifiable US revenue — no green card, no SBA bureaucracy.

Why Banks Reject Parolee Business Applications
Every major bank in Minnesota uses automated underwriting that flags "humanitarian parole" as a disqualifying immigration status — regardless of revenue, credit score, or business fundamentals. The SBA's March 2026 rule requiring 100% citizen or national ownership closed the last government-backed pathway. Bankable's revenue-first model evaluates your business on monthly deposits, time in operation, and creditworthiness — not immigration status.
