@Amazing post #376 Oh come on now …We know you are working for Citizens Bank, with your pathetic post. So all the folks here are wrong and you are right?….Citizens Bank are as crooked as it gets. We never asked for this kind of “overdraft protection” mabe we should of inquired about protection against their overdraft protection scam! We never(20 plus years) had an overdraft incident until the laws were set to change against the Banks.. We payed enough attention to our account and so to did they.. Holding the smallest and running the largest charges not in chronological order is the practice of manipulating the overdraft fees in order to maximize a benefit to them and to the great detriment of the parties who are their account holders.

Its unethical and manipulative. and borderlines criminal behavior.

I had several 4-6 dollar transactions go thru and they charged me 36.00 dollars for each one. All banks are a total rip-off

Kevin: I started going there because the company I work for uses Citizens Bank for their Payroll; that is all their paychecks are issued by Citizens Bank. Every two weeks (I get paid bi-weekly) I’d go in there and pay the $7 to cash my check. I’d walk out, cash in hand, every time.

Just the fact that they'd charge you to cash a check drawn on their own bank should tell you all you need to know. You could take your paycheck to Walmart and it'd only cost 3 bucks.

CB started charging $3 atm fee if you use some other atm. So to get this straight . If you withdraw $20 from another atm will cost you 23 + 2.50 fee of the other bank. I can live with the 2.50 fee because I am using the others bank atm but what I cant live with it is why is CItizens charging $3 for an electronic transaction??
Just lost another costumer

Learn the difference between a scam and a bad deal. You fell for a bad deal with the over draft fee’s you should have known better. Hopefully you will learn from your mistakes.

Citizens bank has been playing all kinds of games with my account. I swear they are re arranging the transaction dates to make me go into overdraft. If you do go into overdraft they won’t let you access your account on your smart phone because they can’t charge the fee until the end of that business day. If you go into overdraft at 3:55 pm, and they close @ 4:00, you’re screwed. I check my account several times a day and I know they are moving transactions around, and hiding info from me so that I will go into overdraft. If you try to access your account from your citizens smartphone app, and it says you can’t access account at this time, run to a computer because that means you’re in overdraft.

My bank, “H”appy “S”am “B”uys “C”ars would pull all these stunts. I was so fed up with it after too many times. So I asked the CS rep what the total was for the year and it just so happened the very next day I deposited a check that some1 gave me for the very same amount. Unfortunately above said bank would clear my deposits instantly – nonetheless the check turned out 2 b no good after I withdrew the money and closed the account. Funny how things work out.
