Yes I used FBN for a small operating LOC in 2023. It was a good experience. Draws were available when I needed them no payments until March 2024. At which time the entire LOC was due.

I have - been happy with it - only thing I don’t like is that when you request funds it is direct deposited into your bank account but you have to write a check and mail it to them when you repay- it be nice if they had an option to repay through the app or online since the loan is already connected to your account.

Thanks @Craig Baxter (MN), we're working on that feature now and should be releasing it this winter.

No, just land purchase loans and they were great to work with and very easy to apply for online. Quick also.
