Save your self the frustration and avoid them I’ve had a truly disappointing experience with CIT. Their lack of unresponsiveness left me feeling cheated. After losing a significant amount of money due to unclear fee structures. I’ve realized the importance of choosing a reliable platform. I’ve since switched to{EASY BE} which has proven to be far a far trustworthy and efficient option.

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.

Be prepared for an ordeal trying to set… Be prepared for an ordeal trying to set up the Platinum Savings account. I am going on a month now and they still do not have my account setup. They claim their review team is backed up.....well, hire more people - Hello? And once they finally get the account set up we still need to go through the trial deposits process which will require even more time. On a semi-positive note, their customer service is US based and has been courteous and professional on my multiple calls to try and get my account set up. Just an FYI that they are super SLOW!

Did 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.

Too 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.
