Easy process, great customer relations

I recently opened a personal savings account with Newtek. The application process was simple and quick. When I had log in issues their customer service representatives were incredibly helpful and quick to resolve the situation. My only caution is don’t call during high volume hours. Be patient because they do have great customer service!

Deposits were easy. I have yet to transfer money out… just know you have to plan a few business days ahead to complete transfers. Even transferring into the account… You have to schedule with a minimum leadtime of 3 to 5 business days. It’s not instantaneous. So it’s not a savings account you can draw from without planning.

A Strange Experience with a Happy Ending

The experience I had trying to open an account with Newtek Bank was somewhat strange, as the application was not particularly user-friendly, and I had to try several times, including calling customer service. Fortunately, I was assisted by Kimberly, who was extremely courteous and precise, and thanks to her help I was finally able to complete the process. For that, I am very grateful.
