Citibank is legitimately terrible these days. We opened our business account with them in 2011, and I've been regretting banking with them since roughly 2015.
Their customer service people are either so poorly trained they cannot do the work, or they are malicious liars.
In addition, trying to get customer service on the line is a horrorshow of idiotic phone maze, specifically designed to discourage account holders from using it. And that is BEFORE the heavily accented customer representative comes on the line, with phone equipment so pathetically poor that the noise in their call center is louder than the heavily accented voice of the customer service rep.
In about 2015, Citibank closed our branch, and then they seem to have fired all the competent customer service people, in favor of offshore call centers. I am trying to close the account, and I've spent the last two weeks receiving conflicting lies or misunderstandings of how bloody long it's going to take to get my data.
I despise Citibank and look forward to closing our business account. And we are also on the verge of closing my husband's personal account, and his credit card, too.
This is how pathetically inept Citibank is: several times we've tried to order checks through their website. Nope. We have had to go to the producer of the checks and order through them to have a prayer of getting new checks.
I would not have trusted them with $2 bucks, much less our business account, if we'd only known how disastrously incompetent they really are.
DO NOT BANK WITH THEM IF YOU WISH TO REMAIN SANE. I would give them zero stars if that were possible. read more
