Great bank to work with

Have had a CD for several years and just opened an additional savings account. Working with Michael Mann was awesome, very quick and efficient. Use the online banking site and app. Can download transactions to Quicken from site but not able to download from within Quicken with one step.

Newtek Bank offered the highest APY 6 month CD I could find. Signing up and funding the account was straightforward and the app was easy to use.
Phone calls were always answered by pleasant and knowledgeable customer service reps, and messages were returned in a timely fashion with accurate information. Ja’Kira was the best!

Very disappointing experience working…

Very disappointing experience working with Newtek Bank and loan specialist Angel Stuckman along with her team, Jonathan Ripley and Cristian Torres.

We were initially pre-qualified and promised a fast closing, which is why we decided to move forward with the process. From the very beginning, we clearly explained that we were not interested in any loan requiring personal real estate collateral. Despite that, we spent weeks submitting documents, answering repeated requests, restarting applications, and constantly following up with very little communication.

What made the experience even more frustrating is that after all the time, paperwork, and back-and-forth, our application never even made it to underwriting. Emails regularly went unanswered, promised follow-ups never happened, and we were repeatedly told things would be sent or updated only for nothing to happen.

As business owners, we understand lending takes time, but basic communication, transparency, and professionalism should still be expected. Unfortunately, that was not our experience, and a significant amount of our valuable time was wasted.

Very frustrating and disappointing overall.

Designating a beneficiary

Ja'Kira made designating a beneficiary very easy. She told me what information was required, I sent that, and it was done.

Katie Houston helped me a lot in retrieving a written record of account information about ownership and beneficiary status of my accounts, a feature that Newtek's online system does not offer. Although I was frustrated when I first contacted her, she was prompt and explained the situation and intervened so I could get what I needed right away.

I want to share my experience as honestly as possible.
My SBA 7a loan process was originally supposed to be completed back in January, but unfortunately, it was severely delayed due to Michael Madison. I was repeatedly told that everything was “in the works,” when in reality, my documents had never even been submitted. I waited for months with little to no communication, which was incredibly frustrating and disruptive to my plans.

Things completely turned around when I connected with Jenny Milosevic. She was truly exceptional—professional, responsive, and proactive. Jenny quickly assessed the situation, reassured me, and connected me with the right team. Thanks to her efforts, my loan was approved in less than two weeks—something that hadn’t been accomplished in over three months prior.

Jenny introduced me to Beau Williamson, who handled the process flawlessly from the very beginning. He was organized, efficient, and always on top of things. I was also fortunate to work with Catherine Garcia, the closer, who was equally outstanding. She ensured every document was accurate and submitted on time, and maintained consistent communication via calls, texts, and emails to make sure I fully understood each step.

Jenny, Beau, and Catherine made an incredible team, and they are absolutely the people I would recommend working with moving forward. A special shout-out to Jenny for stepping in when things went wrong—she not only fixed the situation but also brought a sense of calm and confidence when I needed it most.
