Attempts were made to steal one of my employees' salaries via a phishing account at Cross River Bank. Just as dishonestly as they were attempting to phish my employee's paycheck, I obtained their account information. I made a phone call to Cross River's fraud division and offered some clarification. The Fraud Division did not return a call seeking the phisher's contact details. To what extent do they "know their customer," or do they accept that their banking is a front for illegal activity?

My PPP loan's second draw came from CROSS RIVER BANK. In order to apply for loan cancellation, I need to provide the loan's original application and the loan's security number. Since I first contacted them back in August, they have refused to send them to me. Any business owners who have taken out PPP loans should heed this warning. The company that processes these loans is called "SCRATCH." They don't communicate with their clients or supply them with the means necessary to get their loans cancelled. They're horrible. Just look at the other reviews they've gotten. I'm a business owner who, like so many others, is still having a hard time making ends meet, and it breaks my heart that this bank provides loans but provides no other services to its clients.
Reaction from the Public
Their PPP Forgiveness How-To Links are Down. In fact, none of their links are active.
Customer Reaction
All of these PPP loans were made available through Cross River Bank, but neither INTUIT nor QUICKBOOKS ONLINE will accept responsibility for them.

I applied for a *********** loan with Cross River Bank via Nerd Wallet and they responded by saying I was approved. This loan application was turned down. However, the truth is that I never even attempted to get this loan. They state in the letter that they checked with a credit reporting agency and found no trace of the debtor. Neither my Experian nor my TransUnion credit report has any recent inquiries on it. Several comments on the company's website state that customers are receiving loan offers they did not apply for. I will never do business with this company because of their sketchy reputation. Even though they can't get in touch with me, I'm sure they'll post a fake response saying they'll investigate.

This organization is listed as a new account on my credit report. This, believe me, is a fraud. Since I haven't heard anything back from them, it's safe to assume that they are either involved in the fraud themselves or are lax in their screening process. I Have This is fraud; I have reported it multiple times and asked for several loans to be cancelled, and Affirm has done nothing. You're the bank, so you need to handle this right away. There are a variety of loan IDs, including *********, U********, and *********. CON MEN FRAUD

Over the years, I've had a few truly horrible experiences with a few different businesses. We must single out the partnership between Sunlight Financial and Cross River Bank for special recognition. I deeply regret choosing this financial institution as the provider of my solar energy loan. They have a total lack of customer service and are completely unresponsive to emails. Keep an eye out; they might ghost you, too.

***** is a partner company of theirs. ***** promotes his company using rental properties like the ones I have in Cortland and Duluth. They insist we use them to make down payments and rent payments. The ***** Rent office consistently rejects my applications without ever requesting identification documents to help them verify my identity. Then I'll get an email saying I'm approved, and then I'll get one saying I'm rejected. Either this business's website is broken or the business itself is broken. Providing service to customers is a joke, as they always seem to repeat the same tired lines. Please double-check my answers for typos I've had enough of them.

The Cross River Bank preys on small businesses by offering fraudulent PPP loans. They fabricate information regarding approvals and payouts. It's inconceivable to me that they are given the green light to do business. Convincing small businesses that they won't be eligible for forgiveness when in fact they would and then charging them more than they would have received in forgiveness is unfair. It's bad enough that small businesses have to contend with Cross River Bank fraudsters.

If I could rate it, I would give it no stars. For the past two weeks, I have been trying to get this company to update my address. My full name, complete date of birth, last four digits of my social security number, email address, phone number, and physical address are all accurate. In response to their request for a recent utility or credit card statement, I forwarded one from my place of employment. They got it, but since it was sent from my work account, it wasn't valid; so I forwarded my bank statement to the same email address on file, and now they say they can't find anything under that email being sent, despite my having sent it twice. I simply need to change my address so that future credit card statements will be sent to the right place. No matter what I send them, they refuse to update my address, making me wonder if they even care that identity theft is a problem.
