Just don't and save the headach Avoid the headache by steering clear of this particular bank. FCB proves to be quite challenging to navigate. Its excessive self-regulation only serves to complicate otherwise straightforward transactions. Furthermore, their fees are unreasonably high without clear justification. Navigating FCB's web interface is a cumbersome task due to its complexity. With numerous alternative banks available, why subject yourself to unnecessary challenges unless you enjoy the ordeal?

I was a banker for 32 years and have to… I was a banker for 32 years and have to say this is the WORST experience I have ever received. They held my wire for over 6 weeks. Granted it was my error that my paperwork was incorrect on my account ( that they didn’t notice or care about for 2 years…) however they chose to hold my funds rather than just returning it to the sending bank. Would not return phone calls or release my money. I came on here to give a review a low and behold… 2 and 3 star reviews (which is GENEROUS). They treat their own employees like garbage and couldn’t care less about customers or customer service. Disgusting 🤮 service and worse customer experience! I gave them one star because I wasn’t able to give them negative stars… There are so many institutions to choose from… why bother choosing them 🤯🤬

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.

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.

First 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.
