Curtis Kormos

Their customer service phone number went to voicemail over and over. When I went to leave a message it said they would return my call within “48 business hours” so 6 business days to get a call back. So instead I called their dealership line and wouldn’t you know, someone picked up the phone immediately. They were very kind and got me connected with a customer service representative within 10 minutes. If my concern wasn’t as urgent as it was I wouldn’t mind waiting but I’m sure when dealing with a loan brokerage, most concerns are urgent. Perhaps GBC should put more value in the customers they already have rather than that customers they want to acquire. I shouldn’t have to cheat the system to get someone on the phone...

Kirill Kovalenko

I have an auto loan with the General Bank and had to call them twice to adjust the payment schedule. It was easy to reach a live person by phone and there was no waiting time at all! Great customer service as well. Thank you!

Fast and easy to speak with someone. Courtney was great to deal with.

We've had a vehicle loan with GBC for the past 3 years and they've been amazing to interact with when I needed information or help. They generally respond by email within half an hour (sometimes within minutes) and have always been courteous and helpful.

Matthew McGill

Once my vehicle loan is completely paid off I will never do business with this bank again. I have had an absolutely terrible experience dealing with this Bank. I can understand the backlog from the most recent events but it wouldn't kill you to answer the phone at least once.

Debbie Nemethy

Very efficient team to work with. Great experience and fabulous customer service.

John Thompson

I'm new to General Bank. Didn't even know it existed honestly. But my truck loan is through here. My dealings have been minimal. But the lady whom I dealt with her name was Faye. Super awesome customer service. Super easy getting a few items switched around. Look forward to dealing with her in the future.

Luanne Tanton

Amazingly helpful, prompt to respond to questions. I have been absolutely pleased throughout the entire experience, from the borrowing right through to the payout. Great staff!!!!!

MortalPlace

terrible, was looking for my loan balance, i have been sitting on hold for over 30 minutes, while the prompt keeps telling me I am caller number 1 in line. just tell me your never picking up and at least i would have some closure

tyler dyck

Worst customer service I ever had just a bunch of ignorant people working there they take two payments in two days and say they had a glitch in the system and then say they accidentally deposited money when I have proof from my bank that they never did. Try to get my money back or even just for then to realize they made a mistake phooof forget it just get hung up on and disrespected BRUTAL service consolidating my loans asap...

Josh Scott

Dealing with General bank has been an excellent experience. The professionalism and friendly staff are just a couple of reasons why we will be returning customers and we highly recommend others to try them out.

kate napier

She was very friendly and extremely helpful. Thank you!

Amanda Wyenberg

Easy to deal with and never any issues when needing to contact them. Not the best rates out there but better than some

Daniel Cheung

If you're getting a car loan through them, probably best to go with a bank that has more than 45 employees listed on their LinkedIn. Some of the folks here are very kind, but unfortunately, the organization doesn't seem to think response times are relevant as I've called in over 19 times in the past 14 days and every. single. time. have reached a voicemail. No direct lines to call back - so if you're paying out any loans, get ready for a 2 week ordeal :) But other than that, when they do call back - super kind folks, they're just way over whelmed with volumes during this time.

Mary Leversedge

The representatives who responded to my request were both very pleasant to work with, and very prompt with their responses. The matter appears to be very well resolved. Thank you.

Kenny Tower

Very fast to get in touch with also the lady was very kind and answered all of my questions

N Wray

Great experience. You team professional and alway able to resolve my issues. I intend of using your services again in the future. Thank you.

raedjan

Great support was provided even after 5 months of paying out the car loan. I requested by phone a letter to verify the loan file closing then I received the signed letter in an email 5 minutes later. Keep up the good work guys!

Greg R

Great service, low interest rates, fast response. Easy to deal with, a nice simple company that just takes care of the clients.

Brian Hutton

Honestly, some of the best service i've recieved, from either a smaller lender, or a big 6 bank. I would 100% recommend them. they're quick to reply with whatever you need, extremely polite, and just generally offer fantastic service. 5/5 , would borrow from again.

Maureen & Bill

Outstanding customer service and short wait times on the phone which is a miracle nowadays since everybody is always experiencing a higher than usual call volume. Plus an immediate reply via email that our request was taken care of. All this within 5 minutes - way to go!!

F Ashraf

Jay Garneau was very helpful

RG M

Very pleasant to deal with each time I had interactions with them. Excellent service.

M C

This bank has questionable business practices. Prequalifying people for loans without all of an applicants information while working with shady dealerships that fraud paperwork. When negotiating agreements, not all the restrictions are disclosed. I will never use them again and will continue to warn others.

M Glinfam

Very fast very accurate by email then phone

Anthony Parra

My interaction was very quickly handled and resolved. My only complaint was that I had to phone customer service in order to find the email of the department I needed vs finding it listed online. Though the women in customer service was very nice and gave me all the information I needed.

Allison Ryan

Always answers emails quickly and always very polite and helpful when I call

Marcel Lavergne

call to ask a simple question how to go on line for to view my account statement and balance; that .................. man just hang up on me.

Pat skakun

Paid off loan in 6 years. Same size dept with RBC they say will take me 100 years.

Alex M

Your service in general is bad you need coaching on how to do customer service

Jim Capo

Everyone I spoke to on phone was very pleasant and friendly. Customer service is an excellent asset. Highly recommended!!

Kaleena Walters

I am from another FI and phoned in to help my client get confirmation that a loan was paid out back in Feb 2020. Faye took my call and was absolutely wonderful. She created a seamless experience, and while she was unable to give me information directly, she was able to assist my client immediately while respecting confidentiality thinking outside of the box. Thank you Faye for helping, it was just such a smooth process and our mutual client really appreciates it!

Rick Perotto

This is my first experience with GBC and it has been terrific. Denisse is incredible, extremely punctual and efficient. It has been a pleasure to deal with her and GBC. Thanks for making my experience a great one. Rick

Cam Brooks

I have an auto loan through this bank, they are too difficult to get ahold of. When I call I get a voice mail that they will call back, that’s a major inconvenience for me because I am calling because that’s when I have time to talk I don’t want to be called later when I’m busy. My next auto loan I will tell my dealership I will not deal with this bank

John Meek

Just a big thank you for always taking my calls. Your staff is tremendous. Always there to answer my questions. General Bank of Canada is always my go to bank.

Amanda Tate

Just dealt with Furqan, he was so helpful and quick! Needed to have a co-signer removed from my vehicle loan and he couldn't have made the process any easier, I was shocked by how quickly he had it all completed!

Dale Gonzales

General Bank of Canada is amazing. We had some struggles along the way, but Robyn went above and beyond to work with us. I’d happily deal with them again. Thank you Robyn!

Harvinder Singh

very very nice company to work with, always prompt on service , and willing to work with customer anytime to resolve the issues quickly. Had my car loan with the company for 2 years, and never had any issues, all the processes are smooth and flawless in this company. Great work!

Carl Garbig

If General Bank were more mainstream, I would do all my banking and financing requirements with them. The people there are forever kind and eager to please. They provide timely and competitive financial services. They are a pleasure. Carl Garbig

Leonardo Wongnito

GBC is pretty straight forward. I had to speak with them to set up my account and had some questions about the process of payout. Theres no charge on early payouts which is great. However, the person i spoke to on the phone when i first set up my account seemed to a bit unprofessional ( he was in a rush to hang up, his answers were very broad) I had to call a second time to ask the same questions and luckily i got a very nice lady named Denise (sorry if i misheard it or misspelled) She was VERY Professional and i could tell she would update my profile and write notes down so i wouldn’t have to explain or ask anything. Thank you Denise for being professional and helpful. 5/5 for her customer service and being very informative.

EMMA CROSLEY

General Bank of Canada was a great company to deal with. Anytime I had to contact them, I always received great customer service. Hopefully I can have them finance another vehicle in the future.

Suzanne Marlowe

Was able to get the info I needed quick and easily without delay or problems!

Quick response and great service

Robert Precourt

General Bank of Canada has been excellent to deal with. Maureen has gone above and beyond what i expected from a bank. She returned my calls and email promptly. She has helped me in every way she could dealing with the loss of my vehicle and making sure my gap insurance covered the rest of my loan that my insurance company did not. I was confused with the process and she stepped in to do this for me. Thank you Maureen and the staff at General Bank of Canada, it has been a pleasure dealing with you. Robert Precourt

Jesse Melanson

Probably one of the best customer service experiences I've had. Consistent, patient, friendly and knowledgable staff.

Anthony Bowering

for how much money they make off the people it wouldn't kill them to answer the phone, they send you to voice mail or just let it ring absurd service.

Mikaila

They don't even deserve a star. If you can avoid getting a loan from here I would. I got a car loan and then recently got a new vehicle so the dealership was paying off the rest of the loan. I spoke with Robyn and explained everything. She was told not only by me but the dealership to stop the payments. I also told my RBC bank to stop payments. So when it came to the day where my usual payments came out the general bank changed there name so that they could steal money out of my account. I am frustrated beyond words. Who does that. It should be illegal. I will be reporting this to many people and doing whatever I can to make sure this doesn't happen again to anyone else.

sultan dakila

Amanda Thomson

My questions were answered in detail in a timely manner! I am very satisfied with the end result

Alana Krushen

I dealt with General Bank purely by email. They were incredibly attentive in their response times and were so helpful with all questions I had. They legitimately made everything SO easy. 10/10 would borrow money from them again.

Anand Choubal

I had unexpectedly sold my truck and needed the lien release letter so the next owner could register it in their name. General Bank of Canada came through with the document I needed just in time for me to close the deal. Thank you so much everyone in Edmonton for you efforts :))

Marlene Bartley

Kourtney was great to work with. Very quick response time.

Pat Kate

If I could give negative stars I certainly would! Don't ever work here!!! You're micro managed to ridiculous extremes. Clearly the only place in the universe that you could work for where one would get in trouble for actually doing the job that they were hired to do.

Fernando Cano

Great Service ! Rep I had was helpful.

bryce b

Always very quick to respond to phonecalls and emails, great acceptance rates, competitive financing rates. Been dealing with them for years and never had a bad experience, they're very accommodating. Great customer service. Really make you feel like they value your business, something that's becoming more and more uncommon. Staff are well trained and helpful.

leslie soper

My dealing with getting and paying out a car loan was great. Thanks Julien and Stacey for your help. Very professional.

FAHIM AZIZ

I financed my car through General Bank Canada. Best experience ever. It took them 2 business days to fully payout my loan when requested (another FI I dealt with in the past took 2 weeks). Service was super prompt, and proferssional. You can easily reach out to them via email. I always got my reply within 24 hours, or less. Sometimes even within an hour or so. Very happy with the service, and will definitely recommand my friends and family to finance their cars from them! Keep it up!

E Plu

Fantastic customer service. My husband and I wanted to finalize our loan and we received extremely prompt service and they were extremely accommodating. We wish our local bank would have such great customer service.

Vince Vardeleon

HORRIBLE service. Called multiple times for two days and always went to voicemail. I missed their call back once and they left a voicemail telling me to call the same number. BUT STILL GOES TO VOICEMAIL. I am NEVER going back to this bank again.

D R

Great service! Will do business again.

Mitchell W

Very concerned about the level of customer service. I have tried calling several times only to be directed to an automated system telling me someone will try and get back to me in 3 days? and this isn't the first time this has happened. Frustrating and disappointing that the level of respect for their clients is this low.

Mitch Hildebrandt

Whenever I phoned in to ask questions about my vehicle loan, it didn't matter who I talked to everyone was professional and knew exactly how to help me! Thanks.

Haley Dvorak

10/10. I've always been treated well by customer service and when I called in to get some help when I was laid off, Robin made sure it was super easy. I would reccomend them to anyone!

Jason Wong

We had a great experience using General Bank of Canada for our car loans. The online portal is really easy to use and informative. They are also extremely fast to respond to emails for questions regarding the loan. I would happily deal with them in the future for financing needs.

I received top shelf customer service in every way. Messages were returned promptly, and with supporting documentation. Every person that I spoke with was knowledgable, friendly and efficient. Emails were returned immediately and everything that I asked was explained in a thorough manner. I highly recommend the General Bank of Canada and would deal with them again in a heartbeat!

L N

Fast and prompt customer service.

Kevin Chen

Very professional lender and excellent services!

James Brouse

I had to contact General Bank to change my payment type and date for my car loan. They were more than help full. I have dealt with many banks in the past,, these folks by far are the best bank i have ever dealt with. I was able to do all my account changes thru email - as i live a province away. I can not say enough good things about them . From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for all the help your team has provided me

Sikander Ghouse

Great service, fast response. G B of Canada is nice bank that just takes care of the clients.

Steven Ball

Late in the day customer and I needed a confirmed lien pay out, I had an email copy in under 10 minutes and got the customer rolling . Also really enjoy dealing with their lenders ! They know their credit and terms on older are a bonus

Ashleigh Greengrass

Excellent customer service! Friendly, polite, and efficient.

Farrah-Lee Austin

This is my second vehicle loan through the General Bank of Canada. Not only is my interest low, but after running into some financial difficulties halfway through my loan they were more than willing to work with me on having my payment dates changed to accommodate my new financial situation. This is extremely helpful in a very stressful time.

B B

Due to a fraud alert on my account, I was struggling to get a bank to get my car loan sorted quickly. The General Bank of Canada was the only bank to work efficiently with the car dealership to get me the loan I needed. Whenever I've emailed the General Bank of Canada requesting information, they have responded quickly. The website is easy to use to check your balance. I was able to make additional bill payments simply through my personal chequing account. The only slight downside is that they're only available to call during working hours, but despite this they'd return calls or emails as soon as they return to the office. Honestly, I was concerned about using a bank I had never heard of, but everything went smoothly over the last 3.5 years. If anything, they gave more personalized care than the larger banks.

Bill R

Not an everyday banking customer, but I've had experience with this bank concerning over-the-phone service and car loans. I've found them to be very helpful and to-the-point: They haven't tried to upsell me on any credit cards or plans, or otherwise do anything except help me with what I've called about. Always polite and knowledgeable, and I've never had a phone call last longer than 2 minutes. Shout-out to Finch in the call office, that was an excellent client interaction.

Jackie Schwab

Maureen Near and the other staff were very friendly yet professional in assisting me resolve some issues I had regarding my loan with General Bank.

Lori Carroll

My experience with Denisse was perfect. She made sure I was who I was suppose to be then followed my direction quickly and efficiently. It was a pleasure working with her

Melissa Scanes

Had a great experience dealing with this bank. They were always very prompt in responding back to my emails and phone calls. I would finance with them again.

Richard Paterson

The staff were very helpful in closing out a car loan from an estate. The process was very easy with their direction.

L. Richardson

I emailed on a weekend asking for changes to my payment amount and debiting institution. Maureen replied first thing Monday, April 9th and explained what was needed, very clear about some specific instructions. I got it all sorted and the changes were made before noon! I live in a place where service is below abysmal so when I receive efficient and friendly service I'm usually thankful. But when it comes to money, nerves come into play, and Maureen made the whole thing so easy. Thanks so much for your assistance, your customer service team has always been so great.
