Celtic Bank Reviews

Celtic Bank's SBA Lending team worked with us through 3 properties that we pursued for our ** Business in Gainesville, Florida. They were extremely responsive, sensitive to all of our deadlines and as new business owners, we really appreciated their encouragement and patience. We give our highest recommendation to Celtic Bank for all small business owners looking to fund their business through their SBA program.

This company continues to send me offers for Indigo Platinum Mastercard. It's not unusual to get more than one spam email from them in the same day, and rarely does a day go by that I don't get at least one offer. There is no point in unsubscribing... The offers keep coming. I've emailed the bank to get it to stop, no response. I would think twice about doing any sort of business with this bank. They do not seem ethical.

This Bank has unexperienced underwriters. My credit score is 799, excellent business credit history, their demands were unreasonable. They wanted 2018 taxes when I already provided them with an extension. So I did file my taxes. Then they said I need to provide a proof that I paid my business tax due that I just filed. Then I finally realized that the underwriter Lori ** wouldn't approve the SBA line regardless of what I provided her...stay away as far as you can. They will burn you. Just don't know how SBA allows them to provide SBA loans.

If you don’t listen to anyone else, I beg you to listen to me! DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE CELTIC BANK FOR A LOAN OPTION. I applied with Celtic Bank for an SBA loan and it was complete turmoil and a waste of time and energy. They went back and forth for almost 2 months. One person saying one thing and the next person something completely different. I sent over all requested documents to Adrien **, but they would never tell me my down payment, full loan terms, etc. Communication was not the best. I was initially sent a decline letter. When I asked for an explanation as to why I was declined, Lori (junior underwriter) stated via email that the minimum DSCR was not met, but that she could not disclose what my DSCR score was.

I was told that in six months of opening a credit card account that I could apply for a credit line increase but when I apply they come up with lies on why they denied me. I was told that all I had to do was wait six months to get a credit increase but that not what happen.

They sent me a card in the mail. I destroyed it and the next month they had charged me with an activation fee that I never applied for nor activated. I talked with them on the phone and they said at first I had signed up and later in the conversation they stated I hadn't. They said they would report it to their identity theft department. I stated I wanted this account locked down and they said that they couldn't do that until identity theft gave their report. They have sent the balance to my credit report on charges that were never made. Beware of this company. They are a scam. I have filed a dispute with the credit bureaus.

I worked with Celtic Bank on my small business loan and they have been the best... It was such an easy experience, things went so smoothly. They were so professional and made the whole event such a pleasure.

Celtic Bank has been spamming me for months to sign up for the Reflex MasterCard, a high-fee card I neither want nor need. Annual fee $125 for the first year, then $96 annually. Monthly maintenance fee $120 annually ($10 per month) not charged first year. $30 additional card fee. No rewards program. 30.49% APY.

We received an email stating that our business qualifies for the "VIP Business Program for up to $250,000 of unsecured funding at 3.59%" and called as this was for unsecured loans. After having a brief conversation with a customer service representative they stated that only 1 in 100 applicants gets anywhere near 6% let alone the 3.59% as advertised. In my opinion this is a complete waste of time and they knowingly send out false advertisements to waste people's time.

They were very helpful! All the questions I had they answered efficiently and I left knowing all that I needed to know. The lady I talked to was very patient with me (since I had no idea what I was doing, really) and spent a decent amount of time helping me. It obviously takes awhile to fill out forms and get everything situated but they were helpful when I needed help answering specific questions. I'd recommend even bringing a snack! It takes me back to high school where it took forever to fill out paperwork and tests. Everyone there was very patient and helpful and answered all the questions and concerns I had.

The customer support was definitely one of the better departments that I have dealt with over all throughout my life. They always were pleasant and courteous and helped with every question I had. The application process was looking good and tedious and really was one of the lesser parts of the entire process which has I did not enjoy too thoroughly. It could definitely be tweaked.

The support was always very helpful, providing all the information I needed to fix any issues or answer any question I had. Overall, the people who contacted me were cheerful and upbeat. The process did make sense, but the time it took was a little too long, and the things I had to go through were a little too tedious and repetitive. The rates and pricing were reasonable and well-priced for the quality and plans it offered. The plans were clear and also made sense in context. The online tools it has were efficient and I could figure out what to do myself without getting help, and the ways to make things work online were also very clear.

I feel like the staff was very knowledgeable and informative but discriminated against me because of not only my financial situation but based on some of my physical characteristics as well. I was not comfortable with the way I got treated once they had all of my information. The application process was very easy to understand and did not take me a long time to complete. I felt that the way I answered some of the questions is what caused me to be discriminated against later on. I thought that the rate and terms, had I been accepted, were very fair. I have explored other options and compared to others it would have been very affordable and I would have been happy to pay it. The online tools helped me to understand much better. They are very innovative and although I am not exactly technically savvy it was very easy to use.

Very thorough in helping me. They were patient, understanding and considerate of my needs for loan funds. I was offered extensive customer service through multiple means. The application process was detailed but fair and allowed me to present myself and why I thought I should be approved for a loan from the bank. The rates and terms were explained thoroughly and all conditions were well explained. Further assistance was granted during the signing process if needed. A variety of useful online e-tools was available to facilitate my needs. They were easily accessible and made the entire process worry free.

Everyone was very helpful and answered all the questions I had. Service was timely. The people were courteous and I encountered no problems when I contacted the company whether it was by phone or in person. My application process was easy and quick. Everything was vivid, clear, and easy to understand. I encountered no problems during the application process, the process went by smoothly. The rates and terms were easy to understand. I had questions, but they were answered when I called. Rates are fair and terms are fair. Online tools were efficient and helpful. They were easily accessible and helped guide me through the website and still help me when I need help.

Celtic Bank customer service was just okay. They did not do anything outstanding nor did they do anything to make me mad. Celtic Bank business loan application process was mediocre. It took longer than expected and they required a lot of paperwork but in the end I got the loan for my business. Celtic Bank's business loans rates and terms are again just average. I found other loans that I would pay more for and some that I would pay less for interest. Celtic Bank business loans online tools are just like everybody else's. They are nothing special and did not stand out to me but they do work for their purpose.

It is a surprisingly wonderful customer support. I'm not used to being treated so well as they treated me. I am sure there is an abundance of dedicated professionals working to make this kind of top of the line service possible. The application process went smoother than I thought it would go, thanks to the amazing customer service. Still encountered some nuisances, however not big enough things for me to be upset. Simplified rates and terms, very easy to understand, and even if you don't, there is always the good tier customer support to back you up. I'm going to be honest, I can't fully review the online tools since I'm not very intimate with computers. However, my work colleagues who helped me in said situation had no problems with it. So I assume it's as good as the customer support.
