Great Bank

This bank is always ranked as one of the best places to work. It is a one branch bank headquartered on a beautiful campus in Wilmington NC. Its niche is SBA lending. Account opening is easy as is moving money. I bought the stock a few years ago and it’s had great returns compared to most banks. Highly recommend this bank.

Great Service

Posted by: |

This is my favorite bank to do business with. Customer service is always friendly and accessible, and they bend over backwards to help whenever there is a problem. Very competitive rates on CD and savings as well, and the web interface is very good.

Dont Use This Bank

Posted by: |

Greetings, i had a savings account here and they decided to start charging me a dormant fee for not using it enough.

Who does that?

Well these guys do and they refused to remove the fees.

Closed the account and went on a negative review spree.

100% Satisfied - Best Biz Bank I've Ever Had

Opened a Business Savings Account and 6-Month CD in January of 2023. Easy process. When rates rose, it was reflected in the Savings Account automatically. The CD funds were easily transferred into the savings account at maturity. Moving funds from Live Oak to my external biz account and vice-versa was just too easy through the web interface. Couldn't ask for more.
