Lowered Interest Rate Prior To Guaranteed Term

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.
