PPP Mvps! Helping The Small Business Owners During Tough Times
This bank was a savior for me. I am a small business owner and the bank that I had my business account with (Great Western Bank) turned me away after day 3 of the PPP loan application process being open in 2020. I would have been absolutely out of luck if Cross River didn't offer these services to out-of-network customers like myself. I had never heard of this bank before but they were absolutely incredible at handling my PPP loan and forgiveness. I cannot thank them enough. I opened an account on this website just to write this review; that's how thankful I am. TRUE MVP's! Thank you for helping this small business owner!
Not A New Bank, Branch Visit No Longer Required
I opened my first CD with Cross River in 2012. Have had several since, all with great rates & no issues. They did require a branch visit (Teaneck, NJ) till the pandemic hit. Now you can open one by phone & email. I just opened their 2-year at 2.1%. Very easy and their customer service is good, especially under current conditions. I should note:
-I was already a customer so I was able to skip a few steps.
-CD must be funded by check or wire transfer. They don't charge for wire transfer but your bank probably will (Chase charged me $25.) If you mail a check, they don't lock your rate until they get the check. (Unlike online banks that usually let you open the CD & lock the rate, then give you 10 days to fund it.) Worth the $25 to lock the rate instantly.
-Their website isn't awesome but who cares? Their reps are very helpful by phone, & emails get a surprisingly fast response (mine were within an hour).

Ppp Is A Hoax
I keep calling to understand why I owe them money, but the loan was forgiven. Put on hold and no one ever knows what is going on I am sure they just took the money and spent it. Their PPP was a scam.
Great With PPP Would Try Them For Savings
Cross River did a great and speedy job processing my PPP, my friend had a great experience too. Based on this I would give them a shot for banking.
