Wilmington Success Stories

We first partnered with the lending team at Live Oak Bank a few years ago to support an acquisition and had a great experience. More recently, we opened business banking accounts and have been equally impressed. While we were initially hesitant to move away from a traditional branch-based bank, the transition has been smooth, and the customer service has truly exceeded our expectations. The team is friendly, responsive, and even welcomed us to their Wilmington, NC headquarters since we’re local. Add to that one of the highest-yielding savings accounts in the country, and we’re confident we made the right move.
