Changing Bank Fee
1 stars - meleco - Saturday, August 18, 2012 - 8:43 AM

3 months ago I opened a basic checking and was told that it was free checking if I had direct deposit. This was true until I reduced my direct deposit amount with them and all of a sudden I started getting hit with an 8 dollar a month service fee. There are too many banks out there that offer free checking without a direct deposit. I figured I would give this bank a try since they brag about customer service and the person to person experience but I quickly found out that you have to have the makings of a rockerfella or a Hefner to get that treatment. Calling for information about your account to their national office in Raleigh NC can cost you after your first call. Try 5 bucks a call. I've switch to a credit union and it is truly free checking with no hidden fees for statements and or information inquired about my account. If you want a good ole' boy bank then this old school bank is for you.

Lowered Interest Rate Prior To Guaranteed Term
1 stars - linmarie - Wednesday, November 30, 2011 - 2:25 PM

First Citizens Bank



I opened a money market account in June with a guaranteed rate of 1% for the first 6 months. I noticed in the 4th month’s statement that the interest was not what it should be and the rate was noted as .2 %. I called the bank representative that opened the account for me and was told that he would get it fixed. After several phone calls, a half dozen emails and 5 weeks, it is still not corrected. The representative says he need to get an "area executive’s" approval (who seems to be always on vacation or in meetings) and the email response I get is to call the local branch. No one is taking responsibility to fix this problem. At this point they owe me a lot of interest. I have just opened an online account and will transfer the funds.
