Customer reviews

As of October 2020, Chase Bank has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, yet reviewers on the site have only rated it 1.18 out of 5 stars. The bank’s score is only slightly better on Trustpilot, where it’s currently rated 1.3 out of 5. However, it’s important to note that these reviews are for Chase Bank as a whole and not necessarily its mortgage products. Satisfied customers praise Chase’s mobile app, online access and personal service in branches. Most of the negative reviews focus on frustrating customer service, with customers having trouble getting in touch with a helpful representative, being passed around on the phone or just never getting the help they need.
Bank of America has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) since 1949, boasting an A+ rating for its operations after closing over 6,000 customer complaints over the last three years. However, it falls short in the customer service department, earning slightly over a one-star rating from 475 customer reviews. It’s a similar story on Trustpilot, where the bank has a 1.3 rating based on 844 reviews as of August 2021. While customers praised the savvy online experience and diversity of mortgage products, many were frustrated with the service they received. It’s worth noting that these consumer reviews are for Bank of America as a whole — and not for its mortgages specifically.
