      Horrible customer service by a loan officer!!! We made a request to have our loans modified a year later they still weren't modified. His response " What's $600 less going to do when your payments have been late for this many months already" If you appreciate going in to talk to a loan officer that slams their door behind you and isn't afraid to come over their desk yelling at you than this bank is perfect for you. Ask to speak to *** but make sure you double check his work as he isn't very good at verifying numbers, dates, or accounts.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

      When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

      BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
