First Hope Means Business

“When the news of the PPP was announced, I contacted the two local banks I did business with. The first bank told me not to bother applying because I didn’t have a business relationship with them. I then contacted First Hope, I worked with Deena Smith who was amazing. With limited information from the SBA, Deena kept me abreast of the requirements which seemed to be change by the minute. The communication from Deena and First Hope was second to none, they were emailing and responding to emails 7 days a week. We submitted our application and within two weeks our loan was approved and funded – 14 days from start to finish! I have used First Hope for my business accounts since 2011. They always go above and beyond and provide exceptional service. I can’t thank First Hope and Deena Smith enough for their professionalism and efficiency.”
