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.

Great interest rates but after I made… Great interest rates but after I made one withdrawal I have never been able to access my account. Have made numerous CORRECT login attempts but no luck. Customer service has tried but no luck. Plan to cancel after I receive tax info.

The online questionnaire extremely easy to navigate and the progress was updated each step of the way so we always new where we were in the process. We were then contacted by Daniel Kilgore who walked us through the closing process. All of this at record pace compared to other financiers. A a couple days instead of weeks, we will certainly look to CIT for future equipment needs.

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!

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.
