Outstanding, Honest, Customer Focused Small Bank
While this small bank in Dearborn has been around since 1936, many have not heard of it. We just purchased our house through Dearborn Federal Savings, and our interest rate was 80 basis points lower than the second best rate. Their application fees were minimal. Our MBA prepared loan officer twice drove from Dearborn to Ann Arbor (about 50 miles each way) to review paperwork with us, so we wouldn't have to make the drive. While their savings and CD rates are not competitive, I highly recommend this bank for all other services, especially mortgages given their low fees, excellent customer service, outstanding financial help, longevity, and being a bank that is small enough to care about their customers.
Poor Customer Service
Terrible bank. We had perfect credit. Our escrow went up by $15. We are set up on autopay. When we noticed, we called and asked if it was ok to just adjust the autopay and include it in the follow month. They said yes, that would be fine. They then reported it against our credit and refuse to fix the problem. If it was not ok to pay next month, they should have told us that when we asked and we would have gladly paid the $15. Terrible customer service in a bank that is stuck in the 90’s.
