Citizens Bank Receives Fannie Mae's STAR Performer Award

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Citizens Bank announced today that it received Fannie Mae’s Servicer Total Achievement and Rewards (STAR) Performer recognition for general servicing and solution delivery. The STAR program recognizes top-performing mortgage servicers for outstanding customer service and helping homeowners find the right solutions to fit their needs.

“Our vision is to have our customers reach their potential by offering them tailored advice, ideas, and solutions,” said Chris Nard, president, Home Mortgage, Citizens Bank. “This award recognizes the commitment to our customers that colleagues have demonstrated over the last year. We will continue to put customers first, and help guide them on their financial journey.”

The STAR program is based on a continuous improvement model designed to consistently "raise the bar." The STAR Performer recognition is reserved for top performing servicers within one or more of three STAR Performer categories: general servicing, solution delivery, and timeline management. STAR Performers are identified using operational assessment results based on the servicer capability model ratings across each key functional area, including a review of relevant people strategies, processes, and applicable metrics.
