Below, please find our 2016 review of Yadkin Bank, prior to the merger and acquisition by First National Bank.



Yadkin Bank Review


Yadkin Bank is a full service, chartered community bank with locations across North Carolina and upstate South Carolina. The institution markets itself as a mountain-to-coast franchise, demonstrating the reach of its services with more than 80,000 customers.

As of October 13, 2015, Yadkin and NewBridge Bancorp announced that the two companies had signed a merger in which Yadkin Bank acquired NewBridge.

According to the CEO of Yadkin Bank, Scott Custer, the firm’s mission is to help its customers meet their financial goals. It does so through strong customer service and sound financial education that empowers clients to take control of their finances.

Yadkin can be found among banks in North Carolina’s major urban centers as well as in smaller communities. This includes banks in Charlotte and Raleigh, NC, among other centers, to best serve clients across the state.


Yadkin Bank Review: Reverse Mortgage

As one of the top ranked banking firms, Yadkin offers reverse mortgages.

This means that instead of receiving the full amount of your home loan up front and making payments back to the lender, the lender makes payments to you. Essentially, you receive cash based on the accumulated wealth in your home.

Most often, reverse mortgages are chosen by those who need the funds to cover health care and basic living expenses or to avoid using Social Security. However, the funds can be used for anything you wish, from vacation to home renovations.

Your age, home’s value, and interest rate are all taken into account to determine the amount of money you will receive. Most often, you will receive a greater amount the older you are.

Offering choices to clients, such as the reverse mortgage, especially to those facing financial hardship, is one of the reasons Yadkin is one of the top ranking banks.
