Don't Be Fooled By Cit Bank's Introductory Rates!
I've been a customer of Cit Bank for several years. I was lured in by their high yield savings rate, which immediately dropped to a deplorable amount.
I immediately planned to cancel the account, but every time I called to cancel, the wait time was so long that I gave up. At first, I blamed the lack of customer support on COVID. Now it's clear that the bank literally doesn't care about their customers at all.
I finally set time aside to close out this account. Now that interest rates on high-yield savings accounts have gone higher, most of my other banks are up to 3.6+%. Cit Bank is still under 1%. Ridiculous! I waited for a very long time to talk to a customer service rep. When I told them I wanted to close my account, they said I'd have to speak to another rep. They said, "let me put you on a brief hold." The "brief hold" is over 30 minutes so far in addition to the abysmally long hold I was already on to speak to customer service rep #1.
So basically, I'm unable to close my account without spending hours of my day trying to get through to someone.
Unlike other banks, there's no way to close the account online. There's no way to email customer service or chat with customer service online. You're trapped. Don't do it! I've never had a worse experience with a bank, and I regret the day that I opened this account.
