I love banking at a surety. That tellers are always so helpful and never pushy salesman. I have always received 5 star service.

I am writing to ask for assistance resolving an issue related to the disbursement of insurance…read morefunds necessary to repair my primary residence in Daytona Beach, FL - a property for which your bank holds the mortgage. The residence has been uninhabitable since flooding sustained during Hurricane Ian in 2022. My insurance company delivered to you a check for $78,000 to cover repairs, but bureaucracy at your bank has made it impossible for me to access those funds to pay for the necessary repairs. A week before Hurricane Ian was scheduled to make landfall, I volunteered to work the first lockdown shift at the Halifax Hospital even though I knew my home was in a flood zone. While I was seeing patients in the hospital, my home and neighborhood were flooded with 15" of devastating rain. I lost nearly all of my personal possessions. Yearbooks, photos, furniture, momentos, my daughter's first college diploma were all left for me to muck through as the waters receded. Unfortunately, 5/3 Bank (the company that should have the most vested interest in helping my family recover my property), has made this loss even more frustrating and time-consuming than either of my insurance companies or FEMA. When I was trying to secure stable housing in October and November, a third-party verifier had to contact 5/3 Bank with me on the phone to confirm that my mortgage was being deferred. That third-party servicer and I spent three hours on hold for two consecutive days trying to get someone who could confirm that my loan was deferred. One 5/3 representative even told us that I did not have any loan with your Bank. I received packets to complete every two weeks from different departments (such as the hardship department and the mortgage loan assistance department) to complete pages of duplicate documentation including uploading my divorce decree from 2015. I even completed an entire packet of document requests that were not even intended for me because another customer's information was stapled to my packet and accidentally mailed to me. To date, I have submitted 42 documents at 5/3's request and I can see that only 5 have been received or reviewed. I have been prompted to go to the 5/3.com website, the Loan Solution Center, the My Claim Funds site. My primary point of contact, an agent named Marquis, constantly provides incomplete or incorrect information. I have asked to speak with a supervisor with no reply. I have called phone lines in the morning that should be open during business hours but the phone rings or hangs up. I have called numbers in the afternoon and spent so long on hold or being transferred that all of the departments closed at 5 pm. I have spoken to Hardship Specialists, Loan Specialists, Disbursement Specialists, Insurance Claims Specialists, Forbearance Specialists. The prevailing theme with almost all representatives is "Not my department. Not my problem." When I finally received my insurance check in April to begin repairs, I thought I was finally going to begin rebuilding my home. What I did not know was that I would be entering a new phase of bureaucracy and tedious processes where I have now given 5/3 Bank an insurance check for $78,000 but cannot access the funds. I am in yet another endless loop where I cannot get a signed contract for a remodeler until I give them a deposit, but I cannot give them a deposit because 5/3 Bank will not release the funds for me to make the deposit for repairs. I need someone who can help me access the insurance funds so I can repair my home and make it livable again which, as I stated, is also in your best interest. I did not ask to be a 5/3 customer; your company purchased my mortgage. I did not ask to be the victim of a natural disaster. I just want to have my home livable and I need someone to help and not continue to pass the buck.

When we first opened our account we were very happy. We had a contact person who was VERY helpful,…read morethen she transferred to another branch and this one went downhill fast! The final straw was when I made a mobile deposit and it was returned because it was handwritten and not clear. I called customer service and was told I could take the check into my branch and the teller can deposit it. No big deal. I went to the branch and the teller told me I couldn't deposit the check, when asked why she told me I would have to wait to talk to the banker in the office. I waited for 45 minutes. When she was free I went to her office, I needed to get back to my office I was the only one manning our business that day, her computer was on the "lock" screen, but she told me that her computer was "down" and she had to go. No, your computer is LOCKED! She sighed and asked me why the teller couldn't deposit the check, I told her I didn't know that they told me I had to talk to her. She walked out to the teller and told them they could deposit the check. BOOM problem solved. But her unwillingness to help a CUSTOMER really turned me off. We switched to Intracoastal Bank and have had amazing customer service ever since. They know us by our names instead of just an account number!

Incompetent and very difficult to deal with at a distance…read more I'm handling my father's estate. They know he passed and I've been paying the mortgages while in probate. They call to inform me escrow is lacking and I need to personally give them a credit card right now to cover the difference. Okay so I do this. Now fast forward a few months and the home has sold and Suncoast decides to refund money from escrow not to me who put up that money, not to the estate (which would have the correct thing to do) but to his (supposedly closed) account that has a beneficiary (not me) and announces this in a letter to him sent to my address. The "mortgage specialist " didn't even include her number so I can call her and ask what is going on. They keep addressing things to him instead of his estate as if he's still banking with them. I seriously think they need some organizational skills and better communication between each other and with their clients. I'm SO HAPPY I do not personally bank here.

I made a Yelp account purely so I could make this review. I have NEVER experienced so much…read moreincompetence while getting our car loan. When we first signed the loan, we were left waiting in an office for 2 HOURS while we waited for them to cut us our check for tags and registration. After those 2 hours, another employee we hadn't seen before, informed us that the person originally helping us WENT HOME and DIDN'T TELL US. We didn't end up getting the check and were told to come back the next week to pick it up. We went in on a Friday and we couldn't even register our car until the seller's lean was transferred so it didn't bother us too much, however, we were upset that we essentially sat there for nothing, and now had to come back in. We thought that it would be the biggest issue with our loan. OH BOY WERE WE WRONG! We went in the next week to get our check and all went well. The next day, I got a phone call telling me that they were voiding the check because "The cut it from the wrong lender." So we had to go BACK in to get another check. We went in and I had to argue with the person behind the counter because she 1. didn't understand why we got the check to begin with 2. didn't understand why it was voided and got upset with me because I didn't have more information So we waited there for another hour to get stuff figured out when we were told that Space Coast was actually handling the registration of our car so we wouldn't have to worry about it. For those of you keeping score, that adds up to 3 total hours wasted because we were told we needed this stupid check. But fine, we're over the hump right? Space Coast is handling it now right? WRONG! Our car's temp tags have now EXPIRED waiting for them to get their act together. After calling, and calling, and calling we have figured out that they didn't even start the process of registering our car until the week before the temp tags expired. (Additionally, I need to mention they clearly don't have a central place for information at this business because every time we had to go in or call, we had to re-explain our entire situation and what the last person said/did) We were also told that our plates were going to get mailed to us directly. Sounds great! But they failed to inform us that they 1. Fill out a form to register the car 2. mail it to the DMV 3. Wait for the DMV to process it 4. Have the DMV mail the plate to Space Coast HQ 5. Space Coast then mails it to us. So we're looking at another month of driving an illegal vehicle because Space Coast couldn't register a vehicle over the span of a MONTH! If we were just handed the check like we thought in the beginning, WE WOULD HAVE OUR PLATES RIGHT NOW! Do yourself and your sanity a favor and go LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE! The SECOND I can refinance this loan elsewhere I am going to. It's amazing how incompetent a place can truly be. WORST. EXPERIENCE. EVER.
