Beyond words Beyond words. This is a predatory lender if you are a startup. Do your homework. There are much better choices

good rates, frustrating games it's true, they have the best rates- But their game is to not raise rates on existing accounts. So you have to pay attention and occasionally close and open a new account. Another game they play is delaying transfers. Using your money for a week or two before they give you access to it. My latest ACH transfer cleared my donor account- CIT is now promising it will be "available" in 11 days- Pretty sketchy. Give yourself two weeks transferring money in or out. Online access can be pretty frustrating convoluted security steps. I spend a lot of time on hold trying to get access, at least a couple times a year.

Good luck wiring YOUR $ if you need to Good luck wiring your $ if you need to. You know your hard earned $$$ to buy a house or WHATEVER! Its my $$$ and I cant access it when I need it. I've Been trying to wire $ for 4 days! Not only does it not work, they're only answer is sorry, we know its an issue but we can send you a check... and they can't even tell me when the issue will be fixed. I am cancelling my account as soon as my CD matures.

One of the most horrible and… One of the most horrible and incompetent customer service teams I’ve ever experienced.

Slow Transactions CIT is a decent bank. I think the thing that makes it so frustrating is just the slow pace at which it transfers money from one account to another, especially from outside banks. It takes roughly 2 WEEKS to transfer in a chunk of money from another external, already verified bank account. Unbelievably ridiculously slow. SoFI takes 2 to 3 days! Kind of outweighs the higher interest rate CIT pays… they put a weeklong hold on the money, even after it’s been verified and removed from my other bank account.
