Awful Experience My bank was gobbled up by First Citizens Bank. First, we had to buy checks, which were expensive. Then the debit card came late, almost a week after the old bank card expired. I'm disabled and buy everything, even groceries on line. So a week of hunger. The interest rate is lower that my previous bank. I was charged $50 fee on my premiere checking. Why, I have no idea. I checked fee schedules for the bank and never found a fee that high on their site. I looked under complaints about the bank and they were all highly negative.

So Happy this is MY BANK! As always I am again sad to see so many poor reviews. I have been with First Citizens for many years. I sent a message through my account and even though they say they would respond in 24 hours, my response was less than 8 hours. I feel like they are ALWAYS watching out for me.

I would not recommend this bank to any… I would not recommend this bank to any contractor's, I opened a personal account to see how they operate before changing from bank of America to them with my business account.Well deposit a check that is from first citizens Bank client to my account takes 2days or longer bank of America I deposit before 9pm it's in account in morning I couldn't imagine how long it would take first citizens to clear a check from another bank if you're a contractor getting up front money you'll be screwed guess I will keep my account with bank of America!!! Also first citizens online banking app worst app I've ever come across!!

DON'T BE SCAMMED AND ROBBED BY THIS… DON'T BE SCAMMED AND ROBBED BY THIS BANK!!! This bank will side with anyone who wants to pull money from your bank account and will not have their customers back even with proof. They charged me $35 to stop a company from taking money out of my account because I closed my account with the company a year prior. They said to pay the fee and it would stop them from taking my money every other week. It did not stop the charges and they sided with the company instead of their customer who has proof of closing the account and who also paid them to not give out my money.

First Citizens Bank lacks communication… First Citizens Bank lacks communication as to what happens after paying off your loan! They produce a letter that attempts to explain their procedure to receive your title the day after the loan is paid off. But don't mail the procedures letter until after they electronically submit the request to DMV, which could be up to 10 days after! Go figure it took them the full 10 days to electronically send to DMV! So I received their procedures letter 2 days after they electronically submitted to DMV, and it states that the DMV could take 30 days to process. After speaking w 2 representatives neither of them had a solution as to why in today's world of instantly taking your money, that it takes them 10 days to email/electronically send a notice? Why they don't mail their procedures letter until after they send the email/electronic notice, instead of the date it's printed/produced? Guess they are no longer the small town bank! Rant over!
