Super nice people and good banking options. Plus, you know your money isn't being used to support fossil fuels. It's great to have a banking option that actually supports the climate. Highly recommend!

I have worked with this bank for quite some time now. I have had nothing but positive experiences with them! Fast response time and I like the fact they only work with Floridians! Highly recommend!

I applied for a solar loan and within 2 business days I wasn’t approved! I spoke to someone at the bank before I applied for the loan to make sure I was qualified! And I felt that I was! It took awhile for the loan officer to respond to my emails and she didn’t answer my phone calls! If there was something lacking to get the loan approved the loan officer should have tried to do everything she could to get the loan approved! I expect better customer service especially being a DISABLED VETERAN!

Nothing but good experiences with this bank, plus I LOVE the concept of a socially responsible/eco-friendly bank! I just wish their future expense/income/balance online tracker was more robust.

I was searching for a socially- and environmentally-conscious bank to open a new business account. I found Climate First Bank because they are a certified B-Corp. The process to open the account was very fast and smooth. The team was professional and responsive to my questions. As someone mentioned, they are a newer bank and so they did not immediately integrate with accounting software; however, they immediately contacted the appropriate entities so that they could close that gap. I'm pleased to support a bank that cares and I'm willing to be patient while they build their business.

I have been a client since the bank first opened for business and love the level of service I receive. Even if something goes wrong (rare), they jump in and fix it almost immediately. And most importantly, I know my deposits are working for the environment while they work for me.

I had an interest in working with Climate First Bank because I saw that they were a member "1% for the Planet" which is important to me. I opened 2 business accounts and 1 personal account with the intent us using CFB for all of my banking needs. Some of the issues I experienced while using their online Banking:-It was a huge challenge to connect my auto-pay with CFB because for some reason they are not connected with many integration tools, so do not expect you can easily connect your account for your bill-pay, transfers, etc. Many other institutions also did not recognize their Routing and Account numbers so I couldn't ACH either, they might be behind the times with technology.......-The first few days I had the account, I, unfortunately, had a withdrawal that did not clear because it took too long for them to process a transfer into my new account, like 4 days.-I tried to reach out to the bank 3 times to explain the situation and have them credit me the $38 fee. They did credit my account and then charged me again??? still confused! When I tried to reach out again to ask about the second fee, they said they could not help me and that I had to contact a specific person, I did, several times, through email and phone calls, but I have never heard back from them about it. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but I still have not heard from anyone and it has been several weeks....I had a very unpleasant experience I certainly do not have any intention of hurting their business but hopefully, they can learn from their mistakes.

I've now worked with Climate First Bank for commercial lending on multiple deals, and I can safely say that they will be my first call from here on out. Their team is timely, professional, and quick to help...not just before closing, but afterwards as well!

Climate First Bank is a bank that counts - with THE Best people, customer service and products and services in the market. For a brand new bank, notable significant investments were made in technology and talent, which makes this customer service experience seamless. I encourage anyone who has environmentally conscious values to not only deposit with this bank, but invest in it. Five STARS!

We obtained a commercial real estate loan with climate first bank. Our contact person was Mr. Chris Cucci. From the very beginning we noted Chris to be highly professional. He provided us with loan terms fairly early on that remained unchanged throughout our loan process. He is an excellent communicator and is very good at setting expectations early on. Our process was seamless and the online banking experience is better than most smaller banks with which we obtained loans (and some larger ones as well). We are looking forward to a continued relationship with Chris and this bank as we both grow.

This is the rare financial institution that thinks globally and acts locally. Not only do I appreciate their sincere commitment to making this world a better place, I was pleased at their commitment to customer service. When I encountered a glitch with my online account, I received not one, but two, messages from bank executives who promised to look into it. Within hours, each had followed up to inform me there would be changes made to ease the online application process. That’s the level of service that creates a customer for life.

I am not one to spend the time to write reviews, but I felt the need to for the first time. ClimateFirst has been a breath of fresh air when trying to obtain a commercial property loan. I personally dealt with Chris and the experience was truly 5 stars.If you’re looking for customer service and a business that is willing to hear your story and not just a computer saying yes or no, ClimateFirst is your bank.

Fossil fuels are a finite resource on this planet, and once they are gone they are gone - for good. Solar and wind are not. Smart financial institutions and investors, like Climate First Bank, see the writing on the wall. CFB uses your deposits to invest in energy sources that can be perpetually replenished and that do not actively contribute to global destabilization, threaten national security, poison American communities of color, create resource scarcity, and will eventually displace hundreds of millions of people as sea level rise worsens. Not to mention wreaking havoc on my beautiful home state of Florida. The continued investment by the Big Banks in oil and gas, and even coal, is a short-sighted farce, and I for one support any bank that is actually willing to put their money where their mouth is and back the horse that won't die half way through the race.

We have had two transactions recently involving loans with Chris Cucci representing CLIMATE FRIST BANK. In both cases, out clients have been vey pleased with the financing and the service they have received. We highly recommend Chris Cucci and CLIMATE FIRST BANK for financing commercial real estate projects.
