GBAbsolute horrible experience Absolute horrible experience. When I first applied to open a savings account, I was in the process of changing my name to my married name. I had my new social security card, new ID, but I didn’t know that once you link a bank account to transfer money, that bank account needed to be changed to the new name. My bank had to mail me a document to change my name and I had just mailed it back prior to trying to open the CIT account, so my bank was not done processing the change yet. CIT sent me an email saying the approval was on hold because they were concerned about identity theft and a representative would reach out to confirm identity. Four hours later I received another email just denying me. Talked to a representative on the phone who said once my other bank had my name change processed, to reapply and it would be no big deal. I have since reapplied 5 times over the past three weeks and am being immediately rejected each time. When I call the useless customer service line, they say it’s being denied for identity issues and there’s nothing and nobody I can talk to in order to fix this. I have a legal name change, everything is complete, ID social security bank everything. Yet they can’t help me. It’s absolutely absurd. I have never been denied a bank account/ credit card in my life. I have a significant amount of money I would depositing and a credit score of 840. I am happy they are concerned about identity theft and that’s an important thing to be concerned about. But there absolutely needs to be a way to overcome that concern for those of us that are indeed the actual person trying to open an account.

GBDid not receive a renewal notice for a… Did not receive a renewal notice for a cd which is required by law either by mail or email. They then renewed the cd which was paying 5% with one paying 0.3%. When I received a notice to this event which occurred on 2/3 which contains the date of 2/13 on their letter, and received by me on 2/28, they now want a penalty to redeem the cd. They are thieves.

Be very careful with this Bank

GBToo long for funds to be available I recently opened a high yield savings account with CIT bank. While I love that they are paying a higher percentage, I HATE that it takes SOOOOO long for my money to be available after an electronic transfer; over 1 week. I could totally see taking over 1 week to be available if I did a mobile check deposit, but it takes way too long for an electronic transfer.

GBNot a bad experience Not a bad experience, but not great either. The website can be very confusing, especially to pay an invoice or set up autopay of regular monthly payments due. You have to set up another login to a linked website called "payconnexion" in order to pay items. You can't get to payconnexion directly, you can only get there by logging in to CIT and then clicking the link within that site in the payment area. Really weird, clunky, and old-school in my opinion. And, then, payconnexion is not very clear sometimes on how it is processing a payment. I've overpaid a couple of times because it reads one way but acts another. Hopefully with CIT turning into First Citizens Bank things will improve for the website and payments.
