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.

Poor 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.

Would not recommend any investment with First Citizens Bank I have been working for this company more than 5 years. I would not recommend any investment with First Citizens Bank. They are the worst performer on the market based on the customer and employee reviews, because all smart people have already left this company. Very poor management, toxic, politic based, cheep environment. Lots of lawsuits with the companies they acquire. They do not maintain quality employees and management only cares about their own bonus. HR does not exist and covers management wrong doing. During my career, I have been volunteering and working hard and doing a great job, may manager was Orlando.Torres. I was never reworded, no promised bonuses. Their politics to keep people scared, instead of rewording for a good job. They changed my remote work from home status to work in the office and without any explanation. They were sending emails to all current employees and asking people on writing positive revues to cover up their chaos. I have been dismissed during taking medical leave on PTO and my PTO has never been paid. Overall, I would not recommend this job to a friend.

Would go with a different bank Would go with a different bank. Called customer service to resolve issues only to be told to call the local branch, call/go to the local branch to be told to call customer service. Credit cards have horrible interest rates and rewards/perks. Their online banking and app was barely usable for months on end. Fees for every little transaction. Horrible customer interactions in the branches. They are not military friendly, and I have tons of issues managing my accounts when deployed/overseas.

New 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.
