A Deep Dive into Pros and Cons

To begin with, BNC National Bank has been around for a while. Many online lenders are just starting out, so you can't be too sure what you'll get. BNC National Bank has been an established business for almost 2 decades, and that says a lot in this industry. Plus, BNC National Bank has excellent financial records and is currently one of the top banks in its region.

BNC National Bank holds great ratings, including an A health rating, an A+ from Better Business Bureau, and 4.4 out of 5 stars from SmartAsset. What's also unique about this lender is the fusion of traditional banking and modern convenience. For the 21st century borrower looking for fast and convenient, BNC National Bank has an online application and even a mobile app. For those who may prefer a more personal touch, BNC National Bank offers in-person banking like the more traditional methods some are used to. Either way, you get what you want. Something that's not seen in most financial services today.

While BNC National Bank does have a great website, it lacks some basic information, such as repayment terms and APRs. Borrowers would like to see more details before jumping into a loan. Also, BNC National Bank is lacking in the customer service options department. In today’s tech-based society, you really need to have live chat available for those who want it.

Rates and Fees – The Bare Basics

One thing that is both a drawback and a credit to BNC National Bank is the fees and rates. On the one hand, this company offers very little information about its rates and fees, so you can’t get a good idea of overall costs until you’re sitting down with an advisor.

On the other hand, BNC National Bank is very upfront about fees that may be incurred. For example, the site even states that you can expect to pay certain fees like origination fee, credit report, points, lender’s attorney’s fees, document preparation fee, amortization schedule, land survey, appraisals, mortgage insurance, title insurance, release fees, inspections, prepaid interest, and escrow fees.

In addition to the standard fees, some basic fees may apply, including:

• Transfer fees

• Deed recording fees

• Prorated taxes

• State and local taxes

• Attorney fees

• Title search costs

• Homeowners’ insurance

• Real estate agent's sales commission

These additional fees are not associated with BNC National Bank, but it’s nice to know what you’re getting yourself into beforehand.
