“This review is rather late, over a year actually. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the long standing issue US Bank gave me. My father passed away and it took so long for US Bank to release his funds. This branch wasn't my father's branch but it doesn't matter which you go into. Afroz Ali was the one who helped me and apologized for the disheartening situation. He was patient, did not rush and he showed concern. We kind of bonded because he lost his father as well. He even showed me a photo of him and his father along with his family. He very much so misses his father, I could both feel it and see if. Thanku for the help you provided Sir.”
“I have had a few loans with Metro Federal Credit Union. They have always been exceedingly easy to work with and provide great rates. I do want to not that Alfonzo is an all-star! He was able to work quickly on a loan I needed and was amazingly responsive to my questions and always had a great and informative answer that led me in the right direction.”
“I recently opened an account at the Evanston location. I was seeking a bank that wouldn’t charge service fees as I only needed the account for a short while for my Dad’s 90th birthday celebration.
Working with Michelle was a breeze opening an account this Credit Union. They offers everything I was looking for, free checking, savings, Zelle and other features as well.
After I learned about all the features that are offered at Partnership Financial, I decided that I will keep the account open well after my Dad’s birthday celebration. I will also inform other family members and friends of this awesome Credit Union.
I had a wonderful experience working with Michelle and look for to seeing her when I come in to make deposits.”
“I highly recommend signing-up for the webinars that Jan and her team present. I've attended three of them and while the information presented is great, it's the questions from the attendees and the responses from Jan and her team that really make the presentation valuable as attendees ask questions I would never think of!
I have just started my journey in the home-buying process which has caused me some sleepness nights and I've considered not moving forward in the process. However, it has been great to be able to call Jan (multiple times) and she has been wonderful in answering all of my questions.”
“My experice here at Lake Forest Bank Lake Bluff has bien amazing with all the help I get here Lucy Santos has helped me with all my bankkng need she goes above all the time. Cindy has helped me with my banking need. Thank you for having great staff”
“Susan was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond. She exhibited outstanding service and professionalism through and through. I cannot recommend her or PFCU enough.”
“When I walk into bank , I always get a warm greeting from everybody working there. My personal banker, Irina is always extremely helpful?And if she can't answer my questions.I will get a call at home later that day with my answers. I've been going to this bank for about 10 years because of the people who work there.”
“The team at the Northfield location is next none!! They make you feel like you are their only customer. So helpful, so well versed. I love doing business with them!!!”
“This bank has by far, the best group of people I’ve met in a bank! There are always a few people at every place that are good, but HPB&T has the whole team that treats you like old friends. Jon Levey the president, is on the floor like everyone else, there to help you with whatever you need. He actually has been a tremendous help to me on several occasions regarding both, personal and business banking. I’m strongly recommending HPB&T!
I’m adding on here because I had an emergency and Jon Levey answered my call to his personal phone and drove into the bank to resolve it it less than 5 minutes! That’s ABOVE & BEYOND Customer Service!!!”
“Sadia Siddiqui was very professional, took her time to help us renew our CD at a very good rate. She’s always pleasant to work with and answer all of our questions.”
“Very professional and efficient service every time I visit. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always makes the process smooth and stress-free. I really appreciate the level of customer care here. Highly recommend this Bank of America location!”
“Came in last minute, and Jay accommodated me. He helped me open a checking and savings account, was very kind, knowledgeable and overall made me feel great for joining the credit union, I think the guy deserves a raise honestly.”
“I’d like to give a BIG shoutout to Liz, Lucy, Terri and Gina at your Lake Bluff branch. EVERY time I walk into the lobby I am greeted with big smiles along with Courteous, Polite and Professional service from each of these beautiful ladies, along with incredible senses of humor that have carried me through me through a mishap or three. They each always ask about my little family and their wellbeing as well. That is not always the case with every bank or business. These ladies deserve a raise! Thank you Liz, Lucy , Terri and Gina.
Happy New Year my friends”

“I gave a rating of 4 because there was a wait of 45 mins because of a line and the bank was short staffed. Olimpia did stop by and let us know when were were going to be serviced a few times. That was good. Olimpia was very good and efficient in getting our account and safety deposit set up. That part of the experience was very good.”
“Stacey was awesome. She is always so fast and efficient. I get in and out quickly every time as a satisfied client. Thank you for always being nothing less than great!”
“Been a Customer since its opening day..
Great people. They get to know their customers, needs and families, your not a number, they try to figure out a way to make it happen. That's the right mindset.
A real community bank in a world full of govt regulations..”
“What a wonderful bank! Caring people, delightful service, hot coffee and sweets. Most of all, I love the friendly people here. Elizabeth Taylor, the bank manager is wonderful.”
“I absolutely love LFB. I don't even live in Lake Forest, but my sister does and LFB is her bank so I'm a devoted customer. The personal relationships that they form with their customers is such a refreshing way to do business. Shilpa and Tom are just fantastic - they seem to know everyone who walks in and they have the same professionalism and friendly demeanor with each and every customer, every time. Also, I've been to the drive thru at the other branches when I have my dog in the car with me and they always send a dog treat out for him with my deposit slip. Such a small gesture sets LFB from the other massive banks who have to seek out government assistance because their ridiculous fees aren't enough to keep them afloat. If you are tired of being just another number at your bank and not being able to talk to a human when you call, go see Shilpa or Tom!”
“Donya was so very helpful to me today! I had a big coin stash to cash in and she assisted me even though I do not have an account at Northbrook Bank. I will honestly think about going to this bank now because of the amazing level of customer service she provided. Both ladies at the front were very welcoming and helpful. I cannot thank them enough! It is so nice to go in and be helped to this degree.”
“I had an excellent experience thanks to Tatiana and Dorothy. Both were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to providing outstanding customer service. They took the time to answer all of my questions, made the process smooth and stress free, and ensured everything was handled efficiently. Thank you!”
“I have been banking here for over 11 years and they have provided personal, timely and professional service. Sure, I have had a few hiccups, but they have always fixed them in a timely manner. This is a local bank that values it's local clientele, unlike the big national banks that treat you like a number . Once I broke free of the big bank gimmicks, I realized that my business does matter to someone. Plus how do you trust big banks that pay more in fines every year than any other industry. In 2023 they paid more than $9 Billion.”
“Needed a large sum of nickels- the wonderful ladies at this branch accommodated my request that day; even provided me with a bag to carry all the coins. The transaction went smooth. Super professional and such fabulous customer service something that is lacking these days. Thank you!!!!”
“One of the few banks that actually does personal banking. This bank is very service oriented. They are more than happy to help you, and don't tell you to do your transaction online like some other banks.”
“This is a small community bank, the northbrook location seems more tailored for the private banking arm, but they do take all customers. This bank may not be as technologically advanced as big guys, but it's a real community bank, with actual people working there, I know my banker, and get services not possible at big banks, although at times they may be a little slower. Seems like they are most focused on retail and commercial banking services, not sure they are desperate to make loans like some places, so I would elsewhere for anything than home equity lines. Overall nice to have a small old fashioned bank, in a day where it seems like most other branches dont even have personal bankers, even if their app are behind the curve of the bigger banks.”
“Bank is very friendly, spatially James he is super friendly, he listens your needs, give you choices ,go extra mile, also very patient .We recommend him to anyone, who's didn't no what to do, he will help you to make good decisions.”
“I’ve always had such great experiences with this bank. My family and I have been members with this bank for a long time. My grandparents and many others in town use this bank for their financial needs. The staff is very friendly. Carla, Natalie, Yesenia and the other bank managers have been very helpful and always greet everyone with a smile.”
