Customer Reviews for Mechanics Bank
kristinalouise
December 6, 2018 |
I have to say, as a local business owner, I purposefully chose to work with a 'local business bank'. I moved my checking over when I incorporated and assumed that I would go to them when my needs increased. Well, sure enough, my needs increased (trying to open an office space in Downtown). I went to Mechanic's (of course!) and got directed to someone in finance where they informed me "not to bother submitting an application because they categorically do not work with real estate professionals". Oh, well excuse me. I am an entrepreneur who owns three businesses, I just happen to also be a (very productive) Realtor in town. They have access to all my financials (including a paid off credit card). Needless to say, I will not be doing business with a company that discriminates against me based on my PROFESSION (are you kidding me?). Shame on this bank for not evaluating BUSINESS OWNERS on financials, history, merit and deposit. What a damn shame. Maybe you should make sure they don't discriminate against whatever it is that you happen to do (they have a list, which she rattled off to me verbally) before you decide to bank with this institution.
