At the risk of singling out a group, you'd might want to consider an inclusive and non-targeting name like "Valued Customer Services".

How do we determine its services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing? They have Spanish services for Latino speaking spanish. What the difference?

Wokamuka

Have you considered that some Deaf and/or Hard-of-Hearing do not want be cattle proded into the service? Consider the "Spanish-speaking" representative. What would they do when a Brazilian applied for services?

Not everyone was to be treated "special" (unless there was an incentive). I'd like to think that everyone was to get what everyone is getting - equal treatment.

How about putting up a sign that says, "Welcome to Deaf People at First American Bank?"

If I were going to be a member of a deaf bank, I would not go there because the robberies would love to come into your special service. Just thought of it. Sorry. I'll bring up something better name for your bank.

Deaf Mortgage

I do see your point. Its a equal treatment with full communication access. That the purpose of the services. So you saying I should say American Sign language Service? More of language orientated.

Given fact - Spanish is #2 largest language in USA. American Sign Language is #3. So its more focus on communication accessible than special treatment. Communication accessible means equal treatment.

Brazil speaks Portuguese. I am sure there are some rep that could speak Portuguese language. If we work with a mega bank, they could add languages to each agent/broker/banker that can speak specific languages.

Deaf Mortgage

It will not be deaf bank... but a bank that offers Deaf communication accessible. So it makes no difference if robberies would want go into there. Hearing will single them out.

Again - what I am talking about is internet based with videophone accessible. Full language communication. Not in building.

I would include ASL as part of the title because you are saying that ASL is the 3rd most used language in the USA and oral deaf people use spoken English so why do they need a deaf centered service? They can go to the banks where hearing people go to.

I thought this was targeted for the signing community or am I wrong?

You are on the right track. Signing community is the target audience for this service. I will bring it up in our meeting regard of ASL. I have been wondering about the name etc...

Thank you all for pointing out.

Deaf Mortgage

FYI - Deaf Financial Education Center is at work. Deaf Financial Education Center.

Byrdie714

If we want to get funny, we can go this way....

RMHFB-- " Read My Hands" Financial Bank

TTTHFB-- "Talk To The Hand" Financial Bank

SSBL--"Silent Savings" Bank & Loans

RMLFI--"Read My Lips" Financial Institute

I know....I'm being bad!

Byrdie714

For the bank....take the education out as that would be a division of Deaf Financial Center.

webexplorer

That sounds good to me. Let's other people have to say about it.

Deaf Mortgage

Point for creative!

Deaf Mortgage

Steamless transfer from Deaf Financial Center to Deaf
Financial Education Center... ummm Never thought of that.

Similar names easier to attract both audiences. umm... Thanks for tip.

AlleyCat

I like the TTTHFB -- "Talk To The Hand" Financial Bank

SCBassist

Why not cater to all disabilities in general? How about Special Needs Personal Banking?

sound negative name.

Byrdie714

Seamless? I've had my share of typos as well

It can be an umbrella organization as you would have Deaf Financial Center to Deaf Financial Education Center.

Both names are easier to attract and it also differentiates the two as one being about finances and the other being education.

If people are researching in the education section and have questions--it's easier to transfer over to Deaf Financial Center to get clarification, etc.

Also--nice website but I didn't see anything on business loans, is that still being developed at the moment?

Byrdie714

BTW...how did you figure on the statistics of credit score on deaf people?

Interesting that you are hiring....

Deaf Mortgage

Interesting. I will speak with my boss about this. Fascinating how you all are looking at this. Good concept to think about.

DFEC is under development. Right now they are focus on hiring board members to join. Then the boards will decide who will be hired to join the team.

Business loan - call me or email me first. I cannot put ads here unless I donate. Soon I will do all that ads when cash flow comes in.

Deaf Mortgage

Applicants from 5 years of experiences. Both hearing and deaf applicants.

also you can read a book called "Financial Abuse in Deaf and Hard of Hearing EXPOSED". Google it up and you will see the book. Its another source that noticed credit report same. I know Skip B. as my co-worker when I worked at Prism Mortgage, Inc in year 2007.

I am not the founder of DFEC. That is Jason Steinbach and he is a CODA. He is my boss/director of Deaf Service Division at First American Bank. I have been working with him since Jan 2008. In fact, he inspired me to become a mortgage banker.
