Citibank great for handling large transactions.

Posted by: MansGamer | Apr 17, 2018

I had a bank account with Citibank some time ago. During the time I had that account I had to do a very large insurance transaction that my local bank refused to deal with. Citibank handled my transaction with no questions asked at all. They accepted the large electronic deposit and allowed me to distribute the fund to where I needed to be with an unlimited withdrawal amount per day and an unlimited amount of transactions per day which is exactly what I needed to get done what I needed to get done. They were so much easier to deal with than my local bank and they were so much more accepting of my situation. Even though there wasn't a physical branch near me they made everything as easy as possible.

Lack of Customer Service

Posted by: BaseWithaDot | May 18, 2018

I banked with Citibank for approximately 5 years and recently had to switch to another institution. My main issue with Citibank was the lack of quality customer service and slow response time to problems that had arose. At the time I had direct deposit from my employer and there had been three months in a row that there was an issue releasing my funds from a pending status at my bank. Using the telephone customer service line was monotonous, time consuming, and fruitless experience. Not only did it take several minutes to speak with an actual human regarding my issues, the ones I was able to speak with were unsympathetic and not understanding the urgency of having paychecks held for days after they were supposed to be released. I had one particularly bad experience with a phone customer service representative that refused my requests to speak with a supervisor saying there was nothing that could be done but just waiting for my funds to release. After about three months of circling with customer service leading nowhere I decided to pull all my funds and transfer to another institution. I was so fed up I even canceled my citi credit card and opened one with my new banking institution.

Done with Traditional Banks

Posted by: CaptainFlash | May 25, 2018

CitiBank was the last bank that I had before I switched over to Ally Bank. I feel that CitiBank just doesn't offer as much. I think like many of the other traditional and older banks, they think they just continue as is and not have to compete with new banks that offer innovating and exciting products. I had a checking and savings with CitiBank that I switched over. CitiBank didn't have competitive interest rates for its saving account. Now I get high interest rates on my savings AND checking account. CitiBank also did not reimburse me for ATM withdrawals at other banks besides CitiBank. Come on, its 2018, this should be offered by all banks. The web/mobile products also leave a lot to be desired in comparison to their competitors. The only thing I enjoyed when I used them was their customer service and abundance of physical locations.

Banking with Citi as a student was simple

Posted by: Canesti | May 23, 2018

I banked with Citibank while I was a foreign student in New York City. I used the account to receive money from my parents who were not in the US. Citibank charged reasonable exchange rate and wire transfer fees. As a student, they allowed me to open a checking/ savings account with no minimum account balance required. They also provided me with free check books that really came in handy. After I graduated, I used Citibank to send money back to my Citibank account based in my home country to pay back a loan. Citibank never revoked my student status so I never felt the pressure to maintain a high account balance. When I did transfer funds internationally, I simply walked into a nearby Citibank branch and was always greeted by friendly bank employees. I have always had a good experience with Citibank.
