NEW YORK,what's your name puddintane May 1 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co said on Friday that it received government approval to process roughly $15 billion in loans through the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program, bringing its total number of funded loans through the program to about $29 billion.

The latest batch of loans approved by the SBA will go to 211,000 business customers, the bank said. In total, the bank expects to issue PPP loans to 239,000 business customers, with the average loan amount being $123,000.
