What to Know About the Brandon Office\u00a0<\/p>\n
What is the difference between an LPO and a branch office?\u00a0<\/p>\n
An LPO focuses on market loans and related activities involved with loan management. A branch office provides services where money is lent or deposits are received.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How are Bank of Central Florida Relationship Managers able to assist clients at the new office?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some of the most common activities at an LPO include the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Assisting clients with loan applications or similar documents\u00a0<\/p>\n
Educating clients about commercial mortgages or loan information<\/p>\n
Providing loan services that do not involve money being lent or deposits being accepted<\/p>\n
What services are not provided at an LPO?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some services that cannot be provided at an LPO include:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paying withdrawals or checks<\/p>\n
Accepting deposits\u00a0<\/p>\n
Distributing or lending money or loan funding\u00a0<\/p>\n
Opening deposit accounts\u00a0<\/p>\n
Accessing safe-deposit boxes<\/p>\n
