Amazing Experience
5 stars - shiehp - Tuesday, March 5, 2013 - 10:56 AM

Never had such an amiable exprience with a Bank. I have a lot of exprience with Banks. This past year I was looking to get financing to build a Dental office from scratch. I was turned down by 3 Banks and the 4th Bank (AVIDIA BANK) agreed to finance us, but backed off last min. AVIDIA BANK  backed off after giving us a commitment letter. At this time we had already invested around $230,000 on attorney , Architects, Permits, appraisal etc.

The seller was gracious enough to extend the closing 2 more months after he knew what we had been through with AVIDIA BANK. This is when Live oak Bank came on the scene. My project is in Melrose, MA but  Keith Merklin, senior loan officer flew down to meet us in person to discuss the loan. We had exactly 1 month for closing. This guy is really amazing and he made this miracle of closing on the 28th Feb,the last day of closing. The people who worked with Keith were very effecient and through and it was a totally different experience working with Live Oak Bank. Keith is a straight shooter and he tells you exactly where you stand and what can be done, unlike most bankers. This guy has brought my faith back in bankers.

The CD disclosure statements are not contradictory.  APY is based on interest being compounded.  If interest payments are withdrawn during the term it reduces the APY.

The bank seems understaffed for online customers and does not give clear answers to questions.  Its CD account disclosure document is contradictory: For its simple interest-bearing CD products, in one place it says you can withdraw interest that has been posted without penalty, but in another place it says that the APY is affected if you withdraw interest.  Nothwithstanding the great interest rates, I would not take a chance depositing funds with this bank.  Live Oak seems incapable of dealing with banking questions professionally.
