What should I do if I am planning a trip or vacation?

To avoid any issues with debit card usage, please notify the bank with your dates of travel and the U.S. states or international countries you are visiting.

Lending

What information should I bring when applying for a loan?

Most loan requests begin by having the customer complete a loan application. The loan application provides the bank with information about the borrower(s), such as where they live, where they work, the income they generate, the assets they own and liabilities they currently have.

To help expedite the application process, a customer should bring this type of information with them when they visit one of our branches.

When will I know if I’ve been approved?

For most loan requests, our loan officers can approve the loan at the time a loan request is presented to them.

For larger loans, an officer may need to seek approval from the bank’s loan committee. If a loan decision needs to be approved by someone other than the loan officer, the loan officer will provide you with a timeline of when the final decision will be made.

Once I’m approved, how long does it take to close the loan?

For most consumer and commercial loan requests, once the loan has been approved, funds can be provided the same day as the loan approval.

For mortgage loan requests, it may take up to 60 days to obtain funding as the bank works with attorneys, title companies, appraisers and other professionals to ensure the borrower has all aspects of the house purchase covered.

Our loan officers will keep the customer informed of the progress throughout the entire process.
