    The absolutely epitome of poor customer service. We've been customers since 2009 and one employee's…read moremisinformation that lead to a catastrophic chain of events caused us to make the decision to permanently close our account. Customer service line has greater than 30 min wait, zero consistently with answers. They referred us to the local branch where the branch manager displayed horrifying customer service skills. Eli could just answer one single question I had. Every answer was "I'm sorry I don't know". Citizens Bank in desperate need of Customer Service 101 classes. The appropriate answer at anytime would have been "I am so sorry, I don't have the answer but if you give me a few moments I'll find someone who can provide the answer". I could give Example after example from just one days' interactions , but I digress. I spoke with one person out of the 9 I dealt with in 24 hours who was deserving of the position she holds. And I'm sure she's the lowest paid. Just unbelievably horrific experience all-around. Shame on you citizens bank for tolerating this behavior.

    The employees at this bank are familiar with the workings of Penn State grad assistants' payroll,…read moreand what their perks are--they definitely helped me in that area, and with several non-student-related problems, like a threat against my debit card number and preparing me with currency and advice for a trip abroad. I'm glad I stayed with Citizens after moving here because of this branch!

    I opened a business debit account at Arize. I called the branch in advance, knowing that opening…read morethe account would take time and I would most likely need an appointment. So I made one for a few days later. When I walked into the branch, they said they had no idea what I was talking about and they had no record of me making the appt. So, I had to wait about 30 minutes for them to be able to assist me. Ok. Not a big deal. I get in the office and start the process. First, the woman tried telling me I couldn't use the paper that the IRS provided me because "this isn't what they usually look like". Ok. Well I have nothing else to show you because this is what the IRS furnished for my business. So she gets approval from her manager to "accept it this time". She comes back and we continue. She then tells me that I can't open the account because I don't have an operating agreement. I have never needed an operating agreement between myself and a company that I am the sole ownership of before, but I was able to create one on the spot. So, we finally get the account open. They say I will receive my debit card in the mail soon. 3 weeks goes by without a card. I call and they say it got lost in the mail. Then we discover that they didn't put the suite number on my account address, so I had to submit an address change request. Ok. Get that done. Request a second card. It arrives about a week later and it doesn't have my last name on it. So I call again. They say "oh, we don't know how that happened. Let me get another one issued". I received the THIRD card in the mail and, lo and behold, it is correct. I go to activate it and it says "you've exceeded the maximum number of attempts to activate this card". Interesting. I haven't activated the card yet. So I call the number on the back and the guy says "try calling the number on the back of the card". I explain that I did and that's how I got in touch with him. He says "oh. I'm going to have to submit this for an escalation and a call back". 3 days later, I still don't receive a call. I call again. They tell me the same thing. I am awaiting the call back. I opened the account 65 DAYS ago, and I still do not have a functioning debit card. To say this has been the absolute WORST banking experience I've ever had would be an understatement. I would not ever recommend this credit union to anyone.

    Great parking as it's not local to downtown, most of the staff is very nice and have done things…read morefor no fee, like notarizing something. But we stopped banking here since then, as they are not up-to-date with the latest tech and apps, and when we left you couldn't even deposit a check by using your phone.
