Old Glory Bank saw a 350% increase in home loan closings from March over February. This represents a large outperformance compared to the market, according to a press release.

"Our March numbers reflect something deeper than timing or trends, and it certainly isn't luck. Our success shows what happens when you put customers and home-grown values first," Cheryl Thompson, VP of credit risk and operations, Old Glory Bank, said in the release. "We always keep the customer's priorities and timelines in focus. They can trust that we'll not only offer them a great rate, but we also won't throw unnecessary delays into the mix, and their loan will close quickly."

The bank attributes this success to its personalized service, range of lending options and values.

"Many people see buying or refinancing a home as stressful, and dread dealing with corporate mazes. What they love about OGB is the direct contact with their loan expert throughout the process. It cuts the stress measurably," Michelle Doran, director of sales for home loans, said in the release. "I work with them from pre-approval to closing, and they know they can keep me on speed dial. They won't get bounced from one department to another like other banks. All I ask in return is an invitation to the first cookout in their new home!"
