(For several weeks now, I thought it would be a little kiosk or ATM building or something. Boy, was I surprised.) You'll find both new faces and old at this branch. They remain extremely friendly and customer-service oriented. Maybe it's due to its being new, or maybe it was the time of weekday I visited, but I got right in to see a loan officer. As always, these folks treat you like old friends. I feel like they are truly out to protect my best financial interests, and keep me from making any major mistakes. My elderly mother had just gotten taken to the cleaners by an unscrupulous local auto dealer. ECU's loan officer helped us as much as possible with helpful advice on what to do next. It's a shame the state of Texas doesn't have Elder Abuse laws directed at shady auto dealers. Because they don't, it's important to find a bank or credit union with people you can trust. I trust ECU wholeheartedly, and love their new branch, which will be loads easier to get to than their main branch, south of Longview. Tip: Credit unions have expanded their list of people who are eligible for (free) membership. I encourage everyone who needs a friend in the financial sector to give 'em a try. Their rates consistently beat local bank rates, on both deposits and loans.

I was gone for only 3 minutes and could still hear in the lobby. I could here them giggling but they were not loud. It was just really awkward and uncalled for at a bank! A first grader knows more math than the mortgage department! Way too long to explain, but just avoid doing business here. You will regret it if you do.

We did have higher rates than when we have had good credit, but they treated us right. They have always beat the rates car dealers offer other than the zero interest rates, but your better getting a loan at the credit union and taking the cash back offered by the dealer. My only complaint which isn't really a complaint is I wish they had better rates on RV's and it would be nice if they had VA Home Loans.

I am a local business owner, and my experience trying to coordinate basic account services here was…read morefraught with unnecessary hurdles and a lack of professional follow-through. Instead of providing solutions, I was met with "red tape" and outdated procedures that felt more like gatekeeping than banking. There was a significant lack of clear communication regarding requirements, leading to a "runaround" that wasted valuable time during my business transition. No one really seems to know what's what and what's going on in this institution. In an era where efficiency and digital integration are standard, this institution feels stuck in a "manual" mindset that is not conducive to growth or modern entrepreneurship. I have since moved my business and personal accounts to a different institution that actually values my time and understands the needs of a scaling professional. they also nickel and dime you on everything. Since I am moving out of their Service area, they waived the fee of closing my account within a month. Bottom line: If you are a business owner looking for a streamlined, supportive banking partner, look elsewhere. They are more focused on finding reasons why they "can't" help you than finding ways they can.

I've never experienced this with a bank and frankly it's the worst business practice i've ever dealt with, considering they won't give me my FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISSUED CHECK. I'm more excited to close my account and never put another penny in than I am to get the money that i've been waiting for that made all of my bills late. The ladies are very nice though, i've never had any problems with kindness from the staff. The company procedures is where my issues lie, and whoever has been in charge for the past two years is possibly the most out of touch individual in east texas.

If I could rate Community Bank lower, I would. My father-in-law passed away on November 9th, and…read morealmost immediately, the bank returned his October Social Security payment. Social Security confirmed that, because he was alive in October, the bank had no legal grounds to withhold or return that payment. However, Community Bank insisted that they had received a notification from the SSA--yet the SSA hadn't even been informed of his passing at that point. After considerable effort, we spoke with Ty Gibson, who provided no help and merely cited "bank policy" as the reason. Even our local Social Security office admitted they frequently see this exact issue with Community Bank. The same thing happened when my mother-in-law passed eight years ago, and eventually, they had to issue us a check after much back and forth. This situation raises serious concerns: 1) How did the bank find out before the SSA? 2) Why was the payment returned for a period when my father-in-law was still alive? 3) Why does Community Bank persist with this practice when they know it's wrong? In short: AVOID Community Bank. Their handling of sensitive matters is unprofessional and unacceptable.
