What happens after I submit my application?
 
After you complete an application for a loan with Community First Bank, we will contact you to discuss your application and make sure we have all the information we need. We will also request from you some documentation required to support your loan application.
 
When will my application be assessed?
 
Once we have all the documentation requested, we are then able to complete a full assessment of your application which means that once it is approved, we can arrange faster funding of your loan.
 
What sort of documentation will I be required to provide?
 
The types of documentation we will request from you may vary between applicants due to differences in individual situations and the type of loan you are applying for. The following are some examples of documentation you may be asked to provide.
