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.

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.

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.

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 🤯🤬

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?
