Three Things People Look For When Seeking Financial Services

Three Things People Look For When Seeking Financial Services

When you need a loan or help saving for the future, how do you decide which financial services company to work with?

A survey of more than 1,700 people found that nearly all of them (97%) said the quality of customer service offered by a financial company is among the most important things.

People want to feel respected and listened to – especially when dealing with something as important as seeking a loan or getting help saving for the future. No one likes that feeling when you can never speak with the same person twice or can’t even get a real person on the phone.

At 1st Franklin, we’re very glad to have a rating of 4.9 stars out of 5 on TrustPilot. More than 9,000 people have posted reviews about our services and 94% of those folks rank us “excellent.” We’re always grateful when we read the comments from our customers.

Three Things People Look For When Seeking Financial Services

  • Being really listened to and having a great branch experience.

We’ve known ever since our family started this company back in 1941 that it’s vital to really listen to customers and make them feel at home. Clearly, this matters to our reviewers on TrustPilot.

We were so happy to get this review from a customer named Catrina Prince: “My experience with these ladies was excellent. Will most definitely be using this company and this branch again. The vibe and the friendliness  makes you want to come in and make your payments on time. They are a hoot.”

Customer Rebecca Hayes wrote that the 1st Franklin office in Warner Robins, Ga., “has the best staff I have ever interacted with. They go above and beyond in their customer service and will work with you if you get in a bind. They definitely will be my first choice if I need a short-term loan in the future.”

  • Getting fast approval and quick access to funds, especially when they have a pressing need.

When life throws something difficult at you, it’s so important to get quick and reliable help. Our customers have told us how important that is, and we’ve always listened.

“I needed an emergency loan and Lisa was there to help! My experience was fast, friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend 1st Franklin to my family and friends,” wrote a customer named Sherry Campbell. In fact, Sherry told us that if we had a “10-star rating,” she’d give it to all the ladies working at our Royston branch.

We heard the same thing from a customer named Amy Hughes: “I needed cash fast. Since I had previously been a customer, my information just had to be updated and bring two forms of ID with my check stub. That was it! Such an easy process.”

Customer Mary Nugent had a similar experience: “Hi, my name is Mary,” she wrote on TrustPilot. “I had just recently moved to Franklin and I was looking to rent a house. I was quite short on money and looking to get a loan asap. My son, his wife and my nine grandchildren were on their way up to Tennessee to move into a house I was renting. I really needed a loan and had applied to about 20 loan companies with no avail. Thank you Lord for 1st Franklin Financial! They sent me a check in the mail. All I had to do was take it to the bank and I had the funds available. The financing rate was low also. I would definitely recommend 1st Franklin Financial to anyone looking to get a loan. Also the people at the loan office when you call to pay are so nice, kind and patient. Thank you.”

  • Making financial transactions clear and easy.

When people are dealing with their money, it’s so important that the process be totally transparent. You want someone to go through all the details with you, so there are no surprises. And you want the process to be as smooth and simple as possible.

We were glad to see a customer named Annalisa Shock post on TrustPilot that she got just that kind of help at 1st Franklin. “The staff are amazing,” she wrote. “Always willing to help and make things easy for you. Helped me out a lot when I needed it.”

A customer named Jennie Privett echoed that experience: “I really loved working with this company! The loan process was so easy and the staff was outstanding. Always helpful, upbeat and so nice to speak with. I look forward to working with them again.”

If you’re looking for a company to assist you with financial services, it’s important to get terms that are right for you. But make sure you’re also getting the respectful customer service you deserve.

Ever since our family started 1st Franklin Financial, our company values have been very clear: Treat every customer with respect, offer the options they need to handle whatever life throws at them, and always make customers feel valued.
