Great Local Bank!
Well I actually always thought it was a local bank but now I see they're from RI. But always has had the feel of a small local bank for me which I've always appreciated
Bank Checking Account.
My bank checking account charges little fees but has very few benefits. When the bank changed names the account that I had was still automatically available was charged very large fees for the same free service I had in the past. I think this is poor practice. The similar feed account for the new bank is now one with none of the services that I was receiving before. This branch is local and the customer service is good so I have not changed banks. Because of the changes I have started looking into other options for banking. I prefer not have fees changed or assesed to my account just to have me change account types. If you no longer offer a service or no longer want to offer a service just don't offer it, don't assign silly fees.
GOOD BANK UNLESS YOU NEED A BANK WITH A RELIABLE WEBSITE.
I've been banking solely with Citizens for almost two decades. I have no complaints about fees or personnel, errors etc. All that has been fine. Maybe I've just been lucky, but my experience has been a positive one EXCEPT for ONE BIG PROBLEM. I do ALL my banking online. Checks, deposits, transfers etc. I haven't written a paper check in many years.
As the years have gone by, Citizen's online access is less and less accessible. Virtually no banking on Sundays, little better on Saturdays, late night is frequently inaccessible, and in recent months the old Monday to Friday 9 - 5 is failing.
I get my billing info lined up and am ready to pay a string of bills and, low and behold, Citizens Bank is off line AGAIN! What good is a bank if it isn't there when you need it? Today I got a more elaborate message than usual. Its a winner.

As if that makes it better. Did you notice there is no projected time frame to have service restored.
And don't bother to call the alleged Customer Contact Center. It's an all automated computerized contact. So unless you are just checking you balance you are OUT OF LUCK!!
I can no longer trust a bank that can't keep it's website online. I recently opened another checking account with a competitor. Name also starts with a C. I have a LOT of data to transfer over, which is the main reason I have avoided switching banks up to now. But I am finally done. I will be moving my billers one at a time, shouldn't take more than a month or two. That is, if Citizens ever comes back online.
If you need a bank with a reliable website, keep looking.
STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM Citizens Bank
STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM Citizens Bank..
I was ripped off by a scam companies. The company is Universal Health Share. They had been charging my credit card $344.00 every month. I went to my Doctor for a checkup and some Lab work. Bills were sent to Universal Health Share and they never paid one cent. After months and months of calls and bills being sent by the Doc. office and myself. I had to pay all the bills myself. I called Citizens to cancel the credit card and file a claim. The Citizens Rep said I was ripped off and this sounds like a scam and someone from citizens would call me in 48 hours. Citizens never called. I called citizens several more time and Citizens said each time someone would call me. Never got a call but did get a letter that said because I sign up for the service they found in favor of Universal Health Share. This is nuts. I talked to the manger at the citizens branch I go to and she said that was nuts and I was ripped off and she would get this taken care of ASAP. Citizens never did anything to help and I never got 1 cent back...
