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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
