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.

No problems with my CIT Platinum Savings Account I've had a CIT Platinum savings account open since September 2023 and I am very satisfied up to this date. I have transferred $ into the CIT savings account from various sources and have also transferred $ out of CIT to my IRA. Each transfer process was handled with ease and without any problems.

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.

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.
