Great American Financial - Glendale (CA)

Cary Jiang UPDATE: AVOID THIS "BANK" AT ALL COSTS. They keep your money in transfer for days to get free interests, in complete disregard for the inconvenience and financial damages it may cause you or the recipient, I submitted an international wire transfer. Called to confirm all the details. However the transfer has not gone through after more than a week despite their app saying "completed". The branch says they are unable to check the status so Ill have to call their customer service. Customer service says its still in "clearing" - havent even left the US yet. They have no set date for the completion. I ask to cancel the transfer. They agreed but then told me that it will take at least two days for them to review the cancellation request - and the reversal may or may not succeed!! According to them, I may also receive less than the original amount because of currency rate fluctuations, so they are essentially charging me the bid-ask spread for money they sat on for days. I am filing a complaint to CFPB and OCC. -- The branch and relationship manager is fine. HOWEVER for a simple transaction - be prepared to spend hours on the phone talking to their customer service center in India and their broken phone app.

Nim Xiong Very bad service, owner (s) father and daughter debate about a loan in front of other customers. Everything is confidential. Names are thrown out and reasons why a loan should be approve was also being debate in front of other customers. Very disrespectful, rude, and when you walk in, everyone is doing their own thing. Not very welcoming and not even greeting ignoring you till minutes later. Seen and heard that they will call your own references and mention your reasons why you are needing the loan....Very bad customer service.

Wesley Davies Chris is probably the most helpful person we met when researching and buying a home in Orange County. He was better than any realtor in setting expectations in the market, completely honest, and came through on all fronts.
