“I had an outstanding experience with Marlena Cetiner at the Shallotte FNB branch. Her mortgage expertise is exceptional — she clearly explained loan options, costs, and long‑term benefits, and helped me understand what would work best for my situation. Marlena’s knowledge, patience, and no‑pressure approach made the process easy and stress‑free.
This is my second positive experience with FNB’s mortgage team (see my review of Michael Bohonicky), and Marlena reinforces why I trust FNB for mortgage guidance.”
“What great people! They really helped me out when I was in a pinch on a house purchase and people were sending money everywhere, but to the places they were supposed to? Everybody at this branch had a hand in a successful transaction where they fixed other banking institutions catastrophic errors. I'm glad it's my business bank as well. Bravo, ladies! You went above and beyond, knocked it out of the park, and you didn't have to. Thank you, so much!”
“I have used First Bank for years. I can't say enough great things about the bank and the people. I have multiple commercial accounts with them, and their commercial lending team is phenomenal. They all really care, and are so nice and helpful. They go above and beyond any way they can. One time I had a large check from an equipment sale and I really wanted to get it deposited on a Friday afternoon before the weekend. They stayed open a few minutes late to help me out and make sure everything went down smoothly. You just don't see this kind of care at most any business anymore. They are all truly special.”
