I’d like to compliment one of your employees, Mr. Ryan Farhat, for the excellent service he provided me over the past few months refinancing my home loan. Through constantly changing circumstances and unforeseen challenges, Ryan remained dedicated to the task to successfully see my loan was processed at the best rate and terms possible. At first, I was a little suspicious of refinancing my home loan with a bank that was remotely located. However, Ryan’s professionalism, responsiveness to my calls and ability to get to quickly get things done exceeded all my expectations and quickly alleviated any concerns. As a retired military officer, I have grown accustom to being presented several options, along with the positive and negative risks associated with each option. Ryan’s approach to working with me made for a natural partnership built on trust and competency. Additionally, all of his professional recommendations proved very successful and beneficial. As evidence of Ryan’s commitment to exceptional customer service, I will wholeheartedly and without reservations recommend Ryan Farhat and The Federal Savings Bank Direct to my family, friends, and fellow veterans.

Ryan guided us through a seamless refinancing process. Our efforts throughout were more than compensated by the low VA interest rates The Federal Savings Bank offered. He was accessible. Your support and hard work was appreciated.

I have completed the survey as requested. I would like to point out as I did in the survey that this was the most pain free refinance I have completed yet. I greatly appreciated Ryan and his teams efforts at making that happen. Additionally, I might not of even have thought about refinancing again (within 8 months or so of my last refinance) unless Ryan had called me and indicated I should look into it based on where rates had dropped. I will continue to gladly recommend Ryan and Federal Savings Bank to my friends and neighbors, of which Ryan has already helped out one of based on such recommendation.
