CIT rejected my application for a high rate savings I went on the internet to apply for an account 5 percent interest. I gave mother’s maiden name, SS, etc. i was sent an email saying i was rejected/. No reason, nothing? Unbelievable! Why waste the time filling in an application and receive a msg from CITY, am not acceptable? I have a credit rating of 840. Why is CIT bank doing with my personal info? Checking with the Better Business bureau, how they take personal info, and then send a rejection notice?

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!

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.

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.

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