Banks in Clinton, IA

“I switched to Ascentra after some negative encounters with another credit union in the local area. I did my research and found Ascentra. I read through a lot of reviews before going to open up an account.Once I got established with Ascentra, you can tell that they have great people working there, from the bottom all the way to the top, who really do have the best interest for their customers in the forefront of their mind.I have done a lot of business with them over the past couple of years, and every time the experiences continues to bypass my expectations.I refinanced my house with Kristina. It was a quick and painless transaction, where she actually saved me money going from a 30 year loan, to a 15 year loan.My last transaction was the best one I have had yet. We had no intentions on moving, however, a home came up on the market that we loved. I contacted Kristina right away, and in 30 minutes, she had me approved without contingency to sell my other home first. Through every step of the way, Kristina was there, answering all of my annoying questions and taking all of my probably unnecessary phone calls, haha! It truly shows that Kristina cares about her job and the people that she serves.At the end of this, it is refreshing to know that Ascentra stands behind their members and assists anyway that they possibly can! If you are looking for a loan, or a friendly atmosphere with no judgement; I highly encourage you to give Ascentra a chance! We couldn’t be more happy and thankful for everyone who works there and makes our lives easier.Jacob and Jillian”

“Mary Temple and Steve Clement have gone beyond their banking titles to help myself and my children in a very personal situation. Working within the finance business takes more than a math and computer degree. The staff at this bank work as a cohesive team to provide top quality banking services to our community. I could not recommend them more if you need a new banking option. Added positive, their operator who directs their calls at main branch, Marilyn Fee, has a lovely soothing voice and could perform asmr YouTube videos to help relax you in a financial crisis. So, that's an awesome added benefit of services they provide as a locally owned banking institution.”

“I've been banking with Citizens First Bank for 20 years and I would highly recommend them. I love all of their services and the people are very friendly and helpful. Their online banking and app are very easy and convenient to use.”

“Everyone I've ever dealt with there at the main branches been polite, professional, and kind and they've devoted their time and energy into making me feel confident about this bank and this financial institution.”

“I have 2 teenage boys. They both have worked since they have been 14 and banked at a credit union in town. When they turn 18 they both tried to get car loans through that credit union. Both were denied for lack of credit. We happened to hear about other teenagers getting car loans through Aegis. Both times Scott approved them. Made it easy. Gave both of them good rates. With no co-signers. Allowing them to start earning credit. Along with them getting nice reliable cars. I would recommend Aegis to anyone for that reason!”

“If you are looking for a home loan this is the place to go!! Car loan any kind of loan they are fantastic people to work with I send everybody there because they are knowledgeable friendly and will do everything they can to help you”

“Always had decent customer service to me, had a few issues with their software in the past but nothing they haven't fixed. Such things happen when going with smaller businesses and it's well worth it.”

“This review is specifically about our experience working with Shane Bark as our home mortgage lender.

Shane changed our lives! He was my husband and I's lender and because of him, our dreams became reality. We got to close on our dream home today & I'm on cloud nine. Throughout the process, Shane was doing a lot of hand-holding because I'm very anxious. He calmed me down every time he was able to provide his knowledge or solutions. Shane is very detail-oriented and passionate about what he does. From the beginning, he made sure we were aware of every single thing we should need to know. It's hard to find someone that's this knowledgeable about what they do, but Shane knows his stuff and will educate you in an easy to understand (but not condescending) way. We were able to complete a lot of required documents and paperwork on our phones which was great for us and our busy schedules. We met with Shane last year, and he was able to help us get to the point where we are today: into our home. If you're feeling lost and hopeless or just need questions about the home buying process, he's got your back. Give him a call; I can guarantee he'll be able to help you. Thank you again, Shane. My gratitude for you will never waver.”
