Absolute 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.

Same problem as others in opening account Same problem as many have stated. They advertise high rates, but then deny application and will not state why ("could be poor credit score, poor banking history, etc" none of which are true). Came here to leave feedback and noticed the terrible views from actual customers. Feel as if I dodged a bullet!

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!

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.

This is why I left This is why i left cit and use “Easy beee” platform now, atleast those are reliable,Been on cit since may, earned some money, community admins have disappeared, app still working, but no withdrawals are working so can only assume this is a scam. If it reappears it will be a miracle
