60 days for pre approval??

I called US Bank today to ask how long a pre-approval typically takes, and they said 60 DAYS!

 

That seems completely ridiculous to me....am I just misinformed on how long the process takes?  I thought it'd be a week or two at the most...

Yeah, that seems nuts. Ours took about 12 seconds. Credit pulled, info run through GUS. You are pre-approved for XYZ.

60 days is ridiculous. Perhaps they meant to close, on average?

Even a fully underwritten pre approval shouldnt take that long. A conditional pre approval should take no more than a few minutes.

Re: 60 days for pre approval??

Should take 20 mins for a pre approval that just looks at credit. If they go through your taxes and income it can take a few days.

Re: 60 days for pre approval??

I got conditionally preapproved in about 3 hours yesterday with Wells Fargo and my LO said that an underwritten preapproval should only take about 3-5 days with their local workload.  60 days is nuts!
