Working with Stearns Bank was one of the most collaborative and thoughtful experiences we've had through this process. SBA financing is no small lift — it takes time, detail, and a team that doesn’t just check boxes, but actually leans in. The Stearns team did just that. They were proactive, transparent, and genuinely cared about getting us to the finish line. There were twists and turns (there always are), but they never flinched. They kept us on track, communicated clearly, and made sure we always felt supported. We're incredibly grateful — and proud to call them a partner.

Working with this team has been fabulous for me, my customers and vendors alike. The ease of portal entry to approval, docs and funding is swift and seamless. The knowledge and kindness they provide is always readily accessible by phone and email - a gift when immediate help is needed. They are and will continue to be top of the list for Clark Capital

They suck. Bait and switch. They claim to be a lender but rep is not familiar with any guidelines. In their marketing The claim to have true line of credits but only offering hard money loc with up to 36 month. My business is over 12 years old with established duns, and over 740 personal scores and I get bank loans no problem, and they don’t even have regular bank type products. Looks like they get your info she then blast it to other banks with hopes that it lands somewhere. Clueless and useless company in my opinion. I have 2 stars because of good texting replies, but is about the only good think about them.
