EQ Bank Reverse Mortgages Anmeldelser 

Patricia and Olivia were exceptional! From the submission stage to instructing the file, communication was top notch, underwriting practices were exceptional and the ease of usage of the portal was also a bonus.
Patty read my comments, touched base with me and issued a commitment in less than 48 hours on a file which required a few exceptions.
I do enjoy working with Equitable Bank as the support you receive from BDM to underwriter to mortgage officer is the best in the industry.

Our representative Agnes Letkeman was excellent. The process was somewhat slower as we progressed, but we found Equitable and Agnes Letkeman good to deal with.

It was a gear experience dealing with Glenn from the beginning of our discussions/ Intro then the detailed guided process.
Thank you Glenn for being so kind and patient in answering our various queries and clarifying them for our better understanding. Highly appreciate it and Thank you !

Her explanations clarified everything. She was available anytime we needed her and she saw the process through to our satisfaction. Bonus - she is very pleasant and friendly to deal with.

Very professional team for a financial product (reverse mortgage) relatively new in Montreal that few other banks offer. Equitable bank assigned one agent (J B) that guided me through out the process answering my many concerns in a very timely and friendly way,

Jason was quick to respond to our initial inquiry, and was thoroughly familiar with all Equitable Bank products and features. Once we decided to go forward, he went out of his way to liaise with the underwriters to quickly put together a package which fulfilled all of our needs, and addressed all of our concerns. Many thanks to Jason and his team!

Offer solid variety of mortgage products, including loans for people with poor credit

Equitable Bank is the most dishonest criminal bank to deal with. My Father was with them for over 8 years and ended up in the Hospital do to being sick. He was up to date on his Mortgage payments with them but because he missed a couple payments on his HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) they called in the HELOC to be paid. It wouldn't have been such a bad thing to do, but they also tried to charge my Father a couple additional fees on top of the HELOC that were not warranted. These very same fees where not being requested when they informed my Father that they where going to foreclose on his house, because they are not reasonable to begin with. EQ Bank paints itself as a company that cares about Seniors and is a Bank that gives back to the community. But all they are is nothing more then a bunch of thugs that will try and steal as much money as they can from you given a chance

The experience working with EQ Bank for a Reverse Mortgage was excellent! I had great communication, service and support from my underwriter, Max and my BDM, Shan. All questions were answered promptly and with detail. I was able to get them on the phone any time I needed to talk through details, which is a big help. The file funded on time and the team at EQ Bank was able to assist with a funding date that was sooner than I anticipated. Clients are very happy!

We found the experience to be simple and straight forward. We would like to thank Glenda for guiding us through each step in a very professional way.
We would recommend Equitable Bank to anyone who
wants a reverse mortgage

Equitable Bank's customer representative, Glenda Niel inspired trust and confidence by answering all questions frankly and succinctly. The process went very smoothly, as if all the work was done behind the scenes. There were no stressful issues as I've experienced the past, e.g. the credit bureau Equifax had me in twice, with my birthday out by a day on one of them, so it became a stressful issue trying to get them to merge these files, taking about 4 weeks and numerous phone calls, and the bank wouldn't commit until this was done successfuly and it was left entirely to me to brow-beat Equifax into recognizing both records were for one and the same person - me - the bank didn't help at all and this caused me to miss a repayment on a second mortgage with consequent penalties. Nothing like that happended, it just went through smoothly and on the promised schedule. Well done!

Glenda Neill Customer Engagement Specialist was excellent Knowledgeable, available and efficient she rates a 5.
The Bank can do better in providing better estimates with reference to costs of house evaluation and cost of mortgage agreement preparation.

The experience of our Reverse Mortgage was a very positive one, from the first contact from our consultant Glenda Neill.
She explained everything very clearly and she guided us step by step.
Glenda was always available and she responded to our concerns in a clear and simple conversation.
We are very satisfied and we will refer the same to our friends.
Thank you for the experience.

Overall, I chose Equitable Bank over the competitors because their rates were better; also, my agent was helpful and responded fairly quickly when I had questions. Additionally, EQB's overall response was noticeably faster than the same response of the competitors. I knocked off 1 star because I almost closed with a competitor before I learned that EQB would offer a higher amount (at a higher rate), similar to what the competitors offered. Once they looked into that option, the next day they made a counter offer for a similar amount at a better rate, and that was the deciding factor.

My parents had been with an Equitable Bank for quite a few years now my dad passed away in April 2022, and my mom continued to pay the mortgage until she was unable to. She started looking into a reverse mortgage which we had updated equitable bank on yet they still started foreclosure proceedings one week before their anticipated payout. Their lack of compassion for a widowed senior has left the family very frustrated as their foreclosure proceedings has cost the family lots of more money than there is available. The death of my father was very unexpected and very hard on our family having almost lost our home of over 25 years equitable, had no remorse or compassion in helping through the process or giving us a couple of months time to get a reverse mortgage with a new company to pay out their balance owing. I do not recommend this bank at all. Their interest rates jumped from 4% to nearly 9% a 5K mortgage jumped to 9K. Making it nearly impossible to make the monthly payment. We scrambled to try and sell, but we chose to proceed with a reverse mortgage instead until the market gets better and because we had missed 2 months of payments and wanted to avoid foreclosure. Like I had said we continued to update this bank on where we were at, yet they still proceeded to foreclose without any warning or any email or phone call saying that they were going to start the proceedings one week before their payout. Stay away from this company!

Amazing experience, Dan Dilio was a precious support to me throughout the process. Always available and helpful. As well as Asriel Pedy, Bilingual Senior Mortgage Officer.

We would really like to thank Deepali and Dan for the amazing work they did for our file!
