ABN AMRO Website Review

The website is very professional looking with the right blend of graphics and text. The LaSalle Bank and Standard Federal sites are very similar in appearance and offer the consumers a plethora of choices including checking, savings, online banking/bill payment, mortgages, and loans. Their design is very simple yet very effective. For mortgages, their ABN AMRO mortgage site is one of the most consumers friendly we have ever seen. Everything can be accessed via their top nav bar.

One great feature we found on their site can be found within ABN AMRO Mortgage.com website, they offer their consumers a one of a kind mortgage program called Guaranteed OneFee Mortgage. So instead of worrying about all of the different fees you can have when taking out a mortgage, they take that stress out of the equation for you. In addition, they make the mortgage process very easy for the consumer and allow them to apply online. They clearly display all of the mortgage rates and have a great education center that includes calculators and a home buying guide.

Wizard of Loan did not encounter any functional problems while surfing their site. In fact, all of the links were very responsive and the loading time was excellent. Overall, Wizard of Loan rates the combined sites under the ABN AMRO family, a 10 out of 10 based on design, functionality and services offered to the consumer.
