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 🤯🤬

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.

They have No Clue about Mortgages Applied for a loan at FCB to refinance our home, Went through all the procedures gathering all the required information. When it comes to finalize for closing, the loan officer says she made a mistake on the amount she could loan us. Was nowhere near what we had applied for. Spent money for appraisal, inspections all for nothing. I would not recommend this Bank for anything. Very unprofessional.

Receiving text message but no account I have received two (2) text messages from First Citizens Bank. On 5/24/23 a text message about they noticed unusual activity on my account. On 6/14/23 a text asking if a transaction was scheduled for $973.41on 6/13/23. I do not have and never had an account with First Citizens Bank.

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.
