Hi, my name is Billy E. Hale and I am president of Landmark Tabernacle, Inc. I would like to have an appointment with Shawn Cole at his earliest convenience. We have done a good bit of banking with BOTW and I am a part of the Wealth Management operations personally. My concern is that we applied for a PPP loan in March, 2020 and was notified that we were accepted and later we were asked, at a later date in April, what fund did we want the proceeds to be placed in. We have responded many times, left messages, etc. and no one will call us back or try to let us know what is happening. Is there a way we can hear from BOTW at all? Your consideration and help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Billy E. Hale
