The only real thing that can set them apart is service. Parks has great service every time I have gone in. It has been a pain switching banks, but the level of service I am receiving from Parks is and will be well worth the effort. I look for forward to our continued relationship.

This is a very strange bank. They almost seem like they don't want to make any loans at all and…read morereally put you through the ringer. They are owned by Arrow Financial. It is my suspicion that they do more with investments rather than mortgages or consumer loans, and try to deter potential customers from applying to their bank. I have always found them to be rude and suspicious whenever I have applied for any type of loan from them. I have a 760+ Fico score, and asked for a $30,000 equity loan with a home loan to value of less than 65% total including my current mortgage. I applied online and was contacted by a branch manager instead of a loan officer. This branch manager from the main office in Glens Falls told me that she wanted two years of tax returns and w2's before she would even hand it to a loan officer since that is what they required. In addition, a copy of the deed, homeowners insurance, paystubs, etc., were also necessary. I have never heard of a bank asking for w2's AND Tax returns since it is redundant information and a pain to copy tax returns and send them in. I asked her if she looked at my application and could pre-approve the loan request based on the information I provided. She then said that she didn't bother to look at the information and wouldn't until she got the tax returns and w2's and other information since that is what they require. As a mortgage loan originator in a bank for many years, I was shocked at this incompetent level of customer service and this bank's inability to even pre-approve a loan based on information given on an application.

My wife and I secured a construction loan on a foreclosed property that would need a total…read morerenovation. We had to meet an aggressive timeline in order to make our closing date on time. Our real estate agent recommended Loan Officer John Hersey and NBT. That recommendation could not have worked out better. The process required the completion of a lot of paperwork and coordination with lawyers, Insurance Agents, Inspectors and various other individuals involved with the sale. This was complicated further by the fact we live in Atlanta, Georgia and the property is in North River, New York. Only through Mr. Hersey's attention to detail and excellent communication skills were we able to make the closing date on time. I will definitely recommend NBT and specifically Mr. Hersey to anyone who is looking to secure a mortgage.

I am outraged at the continued disrespect and lack of responsibilty for processing important client…read moredocuments. They have botched the simplest of procedures and caused mental and physical damage to their client. Not just one time- SEVERAL. From not removing information from a credit report to losing documents multiple times and putting their client into a state of depression having to continue to call and check that they do what has been verbally stated as "taken care of". This lack of professionalism and courtesy cost their client an opportunity to move on from their institution and get a better chance at financial stability in these troubled times. However, no, because of the incompetent staff at this location and in the other departments that this client has had to try and work with. I would tell anyone, THERE IS NOTHING TRUSTWORTHY ABOUT THIS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.
