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.

Awful 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.

Mortgage nightmare I was given a preapproval letter for a mortgage. When it came time to close they could not figure out why my DTI was too high. It took them 7 days to figure out that they had placed 2 car loans on my application while I only had 1. They delayed my closing date twice, I will have to pay thousands for an Airbnb while I wait for the pushed closing date, and they refuse to provide compensation for their mistake. This is absolutely unacceptable and immoral for a company of this size to not pony up for a mistake they had made.
