This is false. @firstrepublic wire messaging and experience is the same as it always has been.
In unrelated news, market manipulation is illegal and punishable with up to 3 years in prison.
This one time I texted our @firstrepublic banker at 10PM on a Friday some dumb question, expecting to hear back Monday.
He texted back immediately.
Later, I learned he was at a wedding: his own.
I never texted him late again.
Anyway, they are great and deserve your support.
I bank with @firstrepublic ‘cos when I was without a full-time job in ‘13, they were the only one who looked at me as a person - analyzed my assets and income - and gave me a mortgage.
I have started 3 companies, all bank with them.
They do the work of a bank.
The work of a bank is to analyze the risk, make loans, keep the customer, and provide great service. The software is dated but the people are awesome.
I want my bank to pick up my phone. For 9 years, they have always picked up the phone - including this weekend.
Struggled w whether to post this, bc it makes me look so bad, but:
One reason I love @firstrepublic:
More than other banks w which we’ve worked, they *show* us they value our relationship.
For one example, read this excerpt from a note I sent some of our LPs last year.
@johnvianny The best time tracker by far is @TimingApp reports are amazing. Automated tracking across all 5 of my devices flawlessly using screen time data. It’s just the best, and the team building it is admirably passionate about making it better all the time.
Governor Abbott, if you have any decency, you will immediately withdraw from this weekend’s NRA convention and urge them to hold it anywhere but Texas.
