Fraud is rampant. Twice in 2 months my debit card has been breached. Never used the 2nd card. When I called the customer service, 'Greg' said there was no way to stop the charge "because you didnt respond to the text"; no, I called as soon as I got the text. He spoke over me several times, which instantly mad me angry.

Star is a good bank for mortgages, lin of credit, but anything else be very careful.

The local branch staff is awesome, but their customer service people are terrible.

I have had nothing but excellent service from the IL Road branch.  Everyone is so friendly and helpful.  Even if I do have to wait a few minutes, they are always friendly. and efficient.  I can't imagine giving them anything other than an excellent rating.

When I first opened this CHECKING AND SAVINGS account, everything was fine. Same day, I leave, about an hour later the branch manager that opened my account calls and tells me "I didn't run a chex systems report on you before opening your account, but now I did and since I did see something on their I closed your checking account and moved all your money to the savings account."  Why not do that before hand and not waste my time. She has even told me to my face, "I would have never opened even a savings account in your name if I would have done it first."  I can't even get a debit card to use, the only thing they gave me was an atm card which has a limit of $200/day. It's crazy because I go to any other bank and there more than happy to set up an account with me. That's why I had to switch to fifth third.so much better, easier, and don't feel like I'm being looked at negatively because of a mistake I made 6 years ago on my credit report. I was with star 2 years and never even got a checking account.  Smh. I just can't...

No matter what I do or when I do it at this bank and its other branches, you "HAVE TO" ask for a receipt! They will not give you a receipt for any kind of transaction unless
YOU ASK FOR ONE. How would you feel after driving 10+ miles or more and bringing your bank records up to date an find "NO RECEIPTS"? Nice drive all the way back to the bank.
No matter which branch I go to, no one will offer a receipt unless you ask, and when you do ask, they act like they hate the extra work involved...

New slogan suggestion: Star Financial: your kids went hungry but at least we got our money.  obtained a business loan through Star Financial. The business was unsucessful and had to close. Star Financial sued me and garnished my wages for $1,000/ month not leaving enough money to provide for my family so we had to depend upon relatives

The Star Team at the Noblesville Branch have always made me feel completely comfortable and are always willing to help solve any of our banking issues.  I have banked with Star professionally for many years and enjoy the professional relationship.  MB

STAR has a rampant environment of insidious nepotism.  This rolls down to employees and finally to us the customers.  DO NOT bank with them.  You will always be an outsider and treated as such!!  My money has been withdrawn!!
