Good....I know you can do better.

I was introduced to Heartland via a broker and happy that the loan was approved. I have found the experience abit disjointed.
Initially the incorrect loan amount was sent through and felt like I was flying blind at one stage but we got their in the end. I have found the on-boarding process quite disjointed and incomplete. I have not as yet spoken to anyone but their email correspondence is quite responsive. I have rated you as a three as I see there are some areas that should be expected and by implementing them you could make some quick improvements.

Impressive Service for Small Business Lending

We are a small business who wanted to expand our revenue by introducing a new service which required specialized equipment form the UK. We had been with our current bank for 16 years but after waiting for 1 month to get a reply from them we decided to try Heartland. The loan was approved within 3 days and and a week later we ordered our equipment. We were very impressed with the service and up to date technology which meant the process was seamless and stress free. We would 100% use Heartland again.

The team at Heartland Bank really went out of there way to accommodate my financial needs. They were happy to talk to me about my needs and my future requirements and not just work on financial reports.

Thanks heaps guys and a special mention to Nisha Patel and Peter Dyer for their assistance.

Comms Needs Improvement

Heartland overall is good. But, they need to improve their processes when communicating with their customers.

When they contacted me during the lockdown, to discuss potential options on how to help, they went ahead without asking for my permission. I clearly stated I needed to know more information first. I didn't hear from them for a few weeks and found out that my business was already enrolled in the scheme.

I've also called in a few times and unfortunately, some have a different answer or don't answer emails at all.

Just need consistency for better customer service.

Business loan

Required a loan urgently when our charter boat motor needed to be replaced. Application was straight forward and service was excellent. Monies approved and in our account within a few days. Also had a period of no income due to boat being out of action. We were able to hold off payments for 3 months and pay interest only which helped us through those months of no income
