Joey was above and beyond helpful with the whole contract. Always nice and very pleasant. I'd get very excited about things and just his being so pleasant and very punctual would calm me down. I bought my mom's house and was buying my sisters out which was very nervewracking in itself and his being on top of the whole process was calming. I couldn't have had a better person to go through this with. I am thankful.

First Internet Bank was easy to work with and explained things very well. The whole process of buying a home is confusing and intimidating but they helped ease the tension. The online portal also makes it very easy to provide all documents needed.

All of my requests were met with pleasant urgency and patient explanation of details and context. For such an attractive loan product, the process was incredibly smooth and painless. The interest rate was very competitive and avoiding PMI was great financially, as well as avoiding disappointing complications that can kill an otherwise great deal.

We were in a situation where the sellers needed a quick closing. Derek ** managed the entire process from initial inquiries through closing in under 30 days with excellent service and communications. Pricing was on point (less than the industry average) and the process was flawless.

Great rates AND a fast closing? It really doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks for choosing us, Alex!

Brian stayed on top of everything the entire process. He was patient with me, even when I was not, and very helpful with detailed explanation of all the things I didn't understand. I've already bragged to several different people that he really helped smooth the whole stressful process out for me. Thanks again Brian and your whole team for getting me and my family through everything.

All of my interactions with my lending manager were clear, concise, accommodating, and informative. The loan product I received was beyond my expectations. I had a unique experience where I had to be out of the country during closing. All of the communications were handled with professionalism and flexibility along the journey. Thanks!

Honestly it was 100% Jessica ** that made me ultimately pick this company. I had three companies I was deciding on and my experience with her and the way she handles things is hands down the best I could of asked for. I am very pleased with my experience. I couldn't thank her enough.

Ray was awesome in assisting us with our refinance. We were able to shave nearly 2 points off our mortgage AND convert to a 15-year loan. We cannot be more thrilled with Ray and his help during this process.

Joey did a great job in starting, working through and completing my refi loan with First Internet Bank. We got the entire process completed in about 5 weeks. Joey was always right on the spot if any problems or situations I couldn't handle came up. I would recommend Joey to anyone for handing a refi loan! JJC

Joey was fantastic throughout the whole home buying process. Being first time home buyers, we had no clue what we are doing. Joey kept communication with us and our realtor consistent and welcoming. He ALWAYS got back to us and most importantly, kept the ball moving till we got the loan. Hats off to you and your team at First Internet Bank.

First Internet, the loan officer was clear and transparent about the loan process, was responsive with my questions. At every step from document uploads I needed to provide they were there to guide me and what was required. Rene

We know how stressful the loan process can be, that’s why our team works hard to provide as much – or as little – support as you need. We hope to get the chance to work with you again in the future, Rene!

We were on a tighter timeline to close our new home purchase sooner than the standard timeframe. We select First Internet Bank because they offered the best interest to us. But our loan process was even more pleasant. The loan officer and the loan processor were very quick with their work and explained things properly to us and answered our questions promptly. They made it happen well within our timelines despite holidays being in-between. Very pleased with the quality of service we received from First Internet Bank.

Nikko at First Internet Bank was great and responsive throughout the whole process. There’s not anything I was guessing about through the whole process and communication was always quick. Would no doubt use him again, and had no problems with FIB. Everyone from Nikko to loan processor to closing specialist were very easy to work with and very kind. No regrets with going with them.

First Internet Bank gave us the best rates out of 8 different companies me and my wife talked with. At first we thought it was too good to be true but in the end we were able to get a 2.375% Interest rate on a 30 year term. No other company would come even close. I was extremely impressed with how efficient the process was with no hidden fees!

First Internet Bank (FIB) was great! My loan officer Gary ** was friendly, very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I first spoke to him on 10/27/2021 and closed on my refi loan on 12/13/2021 (47 days later!!). Gary & FIB were fast and efficient unlike my NewRez my mortgage holder at the time. I had been working with NewRez on a refi application and almost a year later they could not bring me to closing which is why I ended up applying with FIB. I highly recommend First Internet Bank!
