This particular branch of Citizen's Bank annoys me to no end. Unfortunately, as it is the only easily accessible branch on my way home from work, I will continue coming here to cash my checks and withdraw funds. To start off I will say, that this bank is efficient enough, they give me the correct change and complete my transactions with speed.
My problem with this bank is their apparent issue with my only having a savings account with them. Before leaving, they ask if I have a checking account with them. I answer no, which in turn causes them to tell me they could open one in 5 minutes for me, give me business cards, and continue to verbally push me towards opening one at that very moment. It has even gone as far as one associate calling my house several times to see if I was interested in opening one yet.
Seriously?!?! All this does is make me not want to open this type of account. If they act like this now, what else do they think they can bully me into? I've chosen to just have a savings account with this particular bank. Why can't they accept this and provide the service I require, forget the unnecessary checking account information bombardment. read more
