Worst Experience!
This is the worst bank I have EVER been too! Nobody helps, and everybody is so inhumane. They take your time, and money, AND on top of that break your heart over and over again. Horrible management ! If I could go back and work with another bank I would. Devon Bank is not worth it.
Working With Devon Bank = Pure Misery
There is one single nice thing about Devon Bank: their rates are low. I'm warning you, though, it's not worth it. Once you have a mortgage, you can't move it, not without a complete refinance. I would GLADLY pay another $1000 and half percent interest to work with a competent bank. Everything I've ever needed to do with Devon Bank has been pure misery.
First, our loan officer filled in our re-fi forms wrong, so I ended up correcting his work quite a bit. Not a few errors, either. There were five meaningful errors I bothered to note, at different times on different forms - wrong names entered, details of the property incorrect, all sorts of things like that. I should have taken that as a warning, but I was blinded by the low price.
I soon discovered that Devon Bank's website is garbage. I've never even been able to log in after years of trying. If you ever need to do anything else with them, good luck! They double billed me one month for my mortgage - that was an unpleasant surprise. Their homemade forms are a joke - shouldn't a bank proofread? Customer service today told me their computers are down (again) so they can't do anything. They sent me to voice mail, which is all they ever do, anyway, since they don't actually seem to know anything themselves. I've yet to have a voice mail returned.
I honestly would never have imagined that a real FDIC-insured bank could even be so awful to deal with. I thought people complaining about banks were just exaggerating and should have read the fine print, but wow, I was wrong. It's not that Devon Bank has hidden fees, it's that they're incompetent. I feel like the whole bank is high school dropouts or head trauma survivors or something. They are really bad at what they do and it's god-awful to have to deal with them.
