Rates

BNC National Bank doesn’t publish its starting rates online, but according to Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data, the company has had a lower average rate for home purchase loans than the national average in recent years. In 2021, its average rate was 0.25% lower than the national average.

BNC National Bank offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). Fixed-rate mortgages are popular when rates are low; when rates climb, many borrowers choose ARMs for the short-term savings they offer. ARMs have relatively low introductory rates for one to five years, after which the rate resets and adjusts according to market conditions. Before you get an ARM, keep in mind there’s no guarantee rates will come down over time.

Application process

You start the preapproval process by applying through the company’s website. Once you create an account, the application asks questions about the type of home you’re looking to purchase, your assets (like bank account balances) and your demographics. You may also need to upload financial documents, like bank statements and pay stubs, before you can submit the finalized application.

A loan officer is available to assist you with your application or answer any questions you may have about the process. After completing the application, you could receive a preapproval decision within a few minutes.

Matthew, a ConsumerAffairs reviewer from Matthews, North Carolina, had this to say about BNC National Bank:  “The rep worked with me and gave me the lowest available rate. I got a conventional loan and everything rolled fast. It was a good process. He told me what I needed, and I got those things. The portal was easy to upload information. It was a good experience and I would use BNC again. I recommended them to a friend and he used them as well.”

Loan types

BNC National Bank offers a variety of mortgage loan options to suit borrowers’ needs. The company offers conventional loans (with fixed or adjustable rates), jumbo loans, FHA loans, USDA loans and VA loans. Conventional loans generally come with 15-year, 20-year or 30-year terms. The company also offers 203(k) loans, which are mortgage loans insured by the FHA for purchasing and remodeling a home.

BNC National Bank states that it specializes in VA loans and mortgages for first-time homebuyers. The company originated over $1.2 billion in VA loans alone in 2021.

That same year, BNC National Bank received 3,157 home purchase applications. Of those applications, about 64% (2,023) turned into closed home purchase loans, and about 8% (253) were denied.

Refinancing

BNC National Bank offers refinancing for jumbo, FHA, USDA and VA loans. You can refinance to lock in a lower interest rate, shorten your loan term or get cash.

In 2020 and 2021, many borrowers refinanced their mortgages to secure lower rates. The majority of loans BNC closed in 2021 were for refinancing (66% for refinances and cash-out refinances combined). Less than one-third (31%) were for home purchase loans.

Rates have since risen, and fewer borrowers are expected to refinance in 2022. For reference, the average 30-year fixed-rate loan rate was under 3% in August 2020; it was 5.13% in mid-August 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Requirements

BNC National Bank lists many of its borrower requirements on its website. Most seem to adhere to the industry norms, though it does require a credit score of 620 for a VA loan (some lenders may allow 580). BNC National Bank also allows a 3% down payment for first-time homebuyers on conventional loans; some lenders require more.

The company doesn’t disclose its minimum credit score requirement for FHA loans, but it does state that this type of loan allows for lower credit scores. This could be an ideal choice for first-time homebuyers with lower credit scores.

Cost and fees

BNC National Bank doesn’t list its lender fees for new mortgage loans online. Closing costs usually include a credit report fee, title search fees, homeowners insurance premiums, property taxes and other fees.

If you’re concerned about paying these costs, you can ask BNC if it offers any closing cost assistance programs.

Once you’re preapproved, BNC National Bank should give you a Loan Estimate, which details all the estimated closing costs. You’ll receive Closing Disclosures at least three business days before your closing, which will show the finalized loan costs and fees.

      The application process was smooth and quick. We had great communication. But after BNC did my mortgage, they turned around and sold my mortgage off to somebody else. The transition hasn't been the smoothest because the letters I've been getting don't clarify who I need to send my payment to. Everybody else was just as confused as I was because of the way that the letters were worded. Somebody finally clarified that once there's a transferring of mortgages, the government allows for a 60 or 90-day no bad reporting for late payments. I'm just waiting on my payment information from the new bank.

      Working with BNC was simple. It was through email communication and the reps were responsive getting back to us quickly. We closed within 30 days. It did seem at the end that, to get the final reconciliation for the closing statement, it took them a little longer than we anticipated. But nothing prevented us from closing that day.

      The rates have been fluctuating and if you lock in and the rates go down, you should be able to adjust down. But BNC didn't mention that and I doubt another lender would have either. And I, with everything going on, did not follow up or inquire about that either. Also, they told me the day before we were scheduled to close that they had submitted employment verification to my employer. I worked for a global company with more than 25,000 employees and they did not get a timely response, which, when you wait, I'm not surprised at all that an employer of that size probably had lots of requests and do not respond to them immediately. So, that was kind of a fire drill. But everything worked out.

      The process with BNC was straightforward and smooth. I was working with three different lenders trying to work a deal out. So, it took a little bit of time. But once I committed to BNC, they were great. We got everything knocked out within about two weeks. The rate was the best rate and getting to that rate was also very smooth. The biggest selling factor was, I talked to the other lenders and they would give me a run around or not understand what I was trying to do. But Mike, the rep, took the time to understand the numbers and what I was trying to do, and worked with me. And that helped a lot.

      The lender did a good job on communication and was always on top of everything. I got the mortgage rate and the mortgage rate letter shared by my builder to start with and then, I continued working with the lender. She kept updating the rate until I locked it about 90 days prior to closing and shared all the disclosures from the bank 90 days with the builder. About three weeks before closing, I got all the rest of the paperwork signed and completed by the bank manager. The mortgage process was very smooth and everything went well with BNC Bank.

      I love BNC. I've refinanced and I've bought two homes with them. I worked with Mike and he and his team were great. They were always super quick and it was never a big deal to make a slight adjustment. It was all electronic, which I like. So, I did no paperwork and sent all my documents electronically. Their application process was the most efficient I've seen as far. BNC was to the point. The rep said it was the best rate he could give me and there was not a lot of going back and forth about them doing a little bit better. I've bought a house and I didn't use BNC at the time and I regretted it.

      It was great with BNC. They were always ready to go and the purchases were always closed on time. I just sold a house and the buyer's lender had a mistake at closing, and it took an extra day to close. But I've never had anything like that happen with BNC. My real estate agent was shocked they had an appraisal so fast because their appraisals are hard to get and they were able to get one in less than 10 days.

      I got a 30-year fixed mortgage from BNC and the process was wonderful and smooth. I filled out a couple of online forms and sent in a few documents, and that was it. Application took me 30 minutes to fill out, while underwriting was three weeks. All the people communicated with me as we went along. They gave me status updates and it's about as much as I can hope from a bank.

      The best part of the officer I worked with, Mike, was he was politely persistent. I wanted a certain rate and I wasn't willing to lock until I got that rate. I locked with another bank that was close to the rate I wanted then mike called me one day and said, “Hey, the rate’s at this level. You really should consider locking today and then we can get you this rate in time for your closing.” I appreciated that. He wasn't pushy, and he said, “If you want to, I can lock it right now and do the application with you and we could be done.” That ended up working out.

      BNC was really easy to work with. The loan agent was very knowledgeable especially about the VA loan that I was trying to pursue. he was on the ball and there was good communication. It's a more difficult process than a conventional loan but BNC made the process easier than the time I've done it with other banks. We were under a lot of pressure to get it done and things were on a very fast track. They did a good job walking me through on what I needed and made the process easy going through the submission of stuff online. We ended up emailing some of the documents back and forth 'cause the system wasn't 100% perfect. But being flexible with those things was really helpful.

      But their system will say you need certain documents and then after I submit those, I have to follow them to make sure things aren't lost in submission. I would submit document A and then I might get asked for that again. I have to say, “Hey, I submitted it at this time.” And someone would have to go in and take a look at it. Sometimes it was easier to just email that person document A instead of trying to submit it through. The other thing is if someone hasn’t preloaded the form saying, “I need document A,” it's really hard for me to go and submit said documents if someone hasn't put in a request for me to submit that document through the system. Other than that, I had a really good experience with BNC.

      The lending process was good and easy. Everything was online, and the email communication is okay. However, the updates are a bit delayed because one officer is handling so many applications. It's a common thing for the loan officers to handle thousands of applications every day, but for the customer, their application is the only one and they are new to the process. They can get a little tense until they get clear information about their application and process status, so they are very eager to know the updates. I had an officer who had good training as well as a friendly and helpful nature. Even when the customer was a little upset, my officer didn't lose any patience and coolly handled them.

      From application to underwriting, it took one week to 10 days. BNC provided a checklist for us and sometimes, we didn't get the exact document, but we got a similar one. As the customer, we asked confirmation from the banker and those back and forth questions and answers were time consuming. Other than that, our experience was very good. Comparing with other lenders in the market, the interest rates BNC provides are very good. The lender fees are also less compared with other banks.

      I inquired about a loan and someone responded fairly quickly. BNC was the third lender I went with. I was initially just exploring different interest rate options, and I thought my quote was arguably good. Then I tried a different place, and it was a little different. Then I tried a third place. With my initial quote, I was quoted like 2.85. Then with BNC, I was able to get to 2.25. It was a significant difference in interest rates that I think it's important to shop around. The reason I stopped at BNC is because I was confident that I wouldn't get really any lower than that.

      The communication could have been a little bit better, though. I felt like near the end of the process, it was a little tricky in terms of the communication back and forth. The person that was assigned to my account during the process, was on PTO for a good chunk of it, so it was also a little tricky. But it still was able to work out.

      I was in the process of purchasing new construction, so, my timelines were being controlled by the builder in terms of supplies and what their projected date would be. For instance, the initial closing date was October 1st, and then it got extended to November and then mid-November. It was extended a few times so I wasn't able to get the appraisal until the home was complete. Also, BNC is on a different time zone than the builder and the Realtor, so that was a little challenging. But it didn't seem too bad.

      BNC was good. They were as responsive as they could be for a lot of questions I asked. I would recommend them because they're really competitive. The only thing that was somewhat surprising is they sold my loans before I made my first mortgage payment, which is interesting. But I guess that's not uncommon. But, overall, it was a good experience.

      Trust, openness, and explaining things a lot are important. But communication is the most important thing for me because people go through a mortgage or a refi and they probably haven't done it a lot. The average consumer isn't the most knowledgeable person as to every step of the way. So, when one has a question, he would say, “Uh-oh. Is this gonna be a really big deal? Is it not gonna be the way I thought it was gonna be?” And BNC was always super quick to reply and provided me with the answers. Everything worked out great. I've recommended them to a few friends.

      BNC National Bank came recommended by other military members for certain rates. Some of the fees were lower than other banks and credit unions that we looked at. The initial interest rate was good. Also, the ease of using the portal was the benefit. Sometimes, it seemed documents might have gone missing and needed to be re-uploaded, but nothing was detrimental. Everything was pretty much done. The rep was available over text or email to get back to me.

      I put in a couple of call requests and BNC National Bank came back with the lowest interest rate. It seemed to go well when I went to the online portal to make sure everything was arranged. The rep was personable and responsive to questions and emails. That goes on everything we needed to know. Everything went very smoothly. We got through the whole home-buying process quickly, and all done. BNC is worth taking a look into if you needed financing.

      It's my second time using BNC National Bank for refinancing. And Crystal, I couldn't ask for a better agent to be able to help. It was almost like she felt my vibe. And less than a week later, she reached out to me. The two-way communication was great. So, everything worked out as I hoped. The process was as smooth as it was the first time. And Crystal was prompt on everything that she needed. She didn't wait to give it to me, and I didn't wait to give her back the information that she required. It was a very quick process. Even the last time, we did everything in less than a month. It might have been quicker this time. It all depends on when they ask for something, it's up to the client to be prompt to give them the information, whatever she sent by email. Also, she was always there to answer my phone calls, and she always returned my calls. The refinancing saved me a lot of money.

      I got online checking interest rates and then I was contacted by David. He made the procedure extremely easy and fast. I went with a VA loan and it was done with phone calls and the internet. Then the lending officer kept me involved all the time as to where we stood, what was happening, and what was gonna come forward, so I was always kept in the loop. BNC came up with a rate of 2.75 which was excellent. I've dealt with many banks over my lifetime and this was the best experience I've ever had.

      BNC made things easy and got the mortgage closed on time. The rate was better than anything else I could find. The underwriter went a little overboard with some stuff but then that's what underwriting does. Now, I’m in the process of doing two other loans with them. Go and use them. They’re great.

      BNC is always competitive. This is my third mortgage with the same guy and every time, everything goes smoothly, and it's exactly what I expect it to be. I recommend it to anybody.

      The mortgage process was nice and seamless. Every time there was a question or a concern, I reached out to the rep and he was wonderful in answering any questions and giving whatever time he needs to. Their response time was quick. The rates and terms could have been a little better though because I have done a lot of business with BNC National and I was hoping the origination fees can be relaxed a little for the existing. I have mentioned that to the rep so many times, but, that's not something he can decide on.
