The most incompetent loan officers I have ever worked with in a lifetime of home purchases. Multiple misapplied payments to the wrong accounts, leaving me with late fees that would have continued, had they not been caught by me. And, despite the fact that I have been in the the branch to try to mitigate these problems, I still face them month after month. Which leads me to conclude that the staff is completely inept. Stay away from this bank—very far away.

been with bank when it was Main Source and stayed after the merger but i live in portage and have to go to hobart to do banking so i try to combine errands to make one trip there a month. i know they has ATMs in walgreens but i cant do normal banking there. my ONLY complaint is they need to open up a portage branch of this bank even if its just a small one like grocery stores have.the women that work there are always friendly and helpful but sure would be nice  not to hsve to travel to hobart from portage even though its not that far but sometimes its just not convenient to do so

The employees are prompt, knowledgeable and helpful.  They are always available to help either in the bank or on the phone.  No long waits!

Been with this bank for many years it has change names 4 times in about 20 years but I am still with them.
They closed or Local Bloomfield office and now I have to travel about 12 miles to do any banking.

I came in to pay off a mortgage and spent 40 minutes at the bank waiting for pay off amount. After getting the amount I wrote a check and thought all was good. When I checked my checking balances the next month I noticed that the money was  never withdrawn from my account. I called the bank and after some time on phone found out that they accidently shredded my check. I told them I would write another check and get it to them in a few days since I live out side of town. Well work got in the way and it took me three whole business days to get back to the bank. They decided that I owed interest on a per diem basis since I did not get them a check by the next business day.  They also said they lost my contact information even though they called me 2 months earlier to review loan information on this same account. This bank is scary incompetent. Losing information and shredding unscanned checks. I am soon refinancing over 1 million in property and was considering this bank. In fact I talked to bank personnel while initially waiting for payoff amount. I absolutely will not deal with this bush league bank again. I will stick with 5/3. A little pricey but quality service I can count on.

I stopped in to pay on my loan, I had my payment book and paid cash, my payment was supposed to be $151 I gave the teller $160 and he gave me a receipt for $160, please ask your members if they actually want to put the extra amount on their loan, not everyone has exact change!

This is a great bank, but since FF merged with MainSource, they decided to close this Camden branch and the ATM...which is a stupid move

Absolutely worst bank in central Ohio. Totally incompetent managers with horrible and rude customer service.
I have horror stories too outrageous to repeat! In the process of my
absurd experiences I observed a pattern that indicated indiscriminate bad banking. I just took every dime I had left in that bank and ran for cover !!
