To find a bank is to find a needle in a haystack Customer services sucks They make a mistake according to branch manager then when you try to cash a check they deny and take all day to let you know they will not accept check when they have prior. Closing account and don’t want nothing to do with that damn bank I rather pay ATM fees rather than to have them fake asses as my bank DONT USE THIS BANK 

Business response:

Worst company ever they do not care about you or your family. They do not care about vets that fight for there country. They have no desire to work with anyone who may fall on hard times and works really hard to take if their family.

Where do I start. I was very excited about purchasing my first home, who wouldn’t be? The young lady Latitia *******told me I was approved to get me a home. I am a single parent raising 4 children so you can understand how I felt thinking I will have a home for me and my children. With all of that being said they have made this the worst experience I have ever encountered in my 38 yrs on earth. The only thing I keep hearing is be patient. My closing date was May 14th and I was sending in everything they asked me for since Ma... read more

I only chose one star because zero stars was not an option. This is my first loan every, through WHEDA (so not actually through wintrust) but the followup is HORRIBLE. I will leave messages for days in a row, emails etc.. and no response for days at a time. My closing is set for this Friday however, the Closing disclosure that I received last week had incorrect information on it that I have reiterated to them multiple times. Now with the new federal review period, today is our LAST DAY to get this info corrected and signed i... read more
