GBPoor Customer SErvice We had a business checking account with First Citizens in Taylorsville, NC. I was having problems logging in and it would not allow me to reset my login password. I called their support number gave them all the requested info to prove that I was the customer and they told me I had to go to the bank and take my ID to reset my password for online banking. I went to the bank and closed my account. They didn't even care - not surprised. This is the second time I have tried doing business with them and their customer service is lacking.

GBFriendly and Professional My local First Citizens branch has big bank perks with a small town feel. So friendly that my friends comment on it when we leave the drive through. I recommend them to everyone!

GBNew Fees After 4.5 years as a customer, I received a new $15 fee for online banking. The only reason I am a First Citizens customer was for Free Checking. Customer Service said I could go to a branch and have them switch my accounts to a different online banking system with very little difference with no fee. Could they make it more difficult. AVOID THIS BANK. Worst in class technology and branches closed on Saturdays. Convenience is clearly not a consideration for them. They are so bad, I get my SBA loans through other institutions and just use their checking in case I need a local branch. If they want to nickel & dime small businesses, I'll take multiple accounts and tens of thousands of dollars to a new bank. First Citizens is NOT SMALL BUSINESS FRIENDLY.

GBAwful 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.

GBFirst Citizens Bank Customer Failure I had a breach in my bank account. Closed my old account and opened a new account. It's been a month and still no new debit card. My local bank can not give me a date on a new debit card. Telling me the bank is running behind on card replacements. Was told by a teller, this replacement could take a couple on months. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! This is a totally FAILURE from a National Bank. One wonders how many other customers are affected by this? Who uses checks anymore? I can only access my money by going into the bank and seeing a teller. Who wants to carry cash? How many places are no cash, plastic only. First Citizens could care less about my problem. Close your accounts and move your money. First Citizens Bank has failed at the very basics of customer service banking.
