Ignore all bad reviews Ignore all bad reviews, First Citizens is a great service. Those nay-sayers would rather spend 30 minutes on hold at Wells Fargo. I've had nothing but great experiences here.

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.

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 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.

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.
