Well, I've never been denide a savings account before. I have perfect credit and plenty of cash to deposit. after fillilng out their online application I was instantly denied and no reason given. This is what it said. Not sure how "thorough" ther "review" was if their response was right after I hit submit. Unfortunately, we are unable to open an account for you at this time Thank you for your recent application for a CIT Bank account. We regret to inform you that after a thorough review of your application, we have elected to not open a bank account for you at this time. Thank you for considering CIT Bank.

It’s the worst bank they will rip you off worst customer service. untrustworthy Worst experience ever never use them again

CIT Is a joke. Took two transfers from my account leaving me with a -$48,315.00 balance in my checking account. Had issue with filling out app online which is a confusing mess and I work in IT! The issue was a problem with their instant ACH verification with regard to verifying ACH. Was told by one of their "knowledgeable" phone reps that I needed to start again. Mind you, I had the log in credentials and the initial transfer amount wasn't showing what i requested as it was not showing in the amount box so I entered again and choose another ACH verification as directed by the rep. Talked to a female rep who was giving information from some else's account. Not even after she asked qualifying question she was in the wrong account!!!!!!!! Wow!! Took two amounts out and they basically said tough cookies. So, it's your problem. Wonderful people on the phone. Will be moving out of that mess quickly. Stay away from these people. Half of the reps answering the phone give you different answers to the same question. Seems as though no one knows the right answer because it changes from rep to rep. Horrible place to do business. Horrible customer service. Now I have checks out that will bounce thanks to the knowledgeable folks at CIT. Again, CIT would not cover the small amount of bank fees associated with their mistake. So I'll move out my upper 5 figure amount to another bank. Wish there was a place for negative value stars. Stay away!!!!!!!!!

Same problem as many have stated. They advertise high rates, but then deny application and will not state why ("could be poor credit score, poor banking history, etc" none of which are true). Came here to leave feedback and noticed the terrible views from actual customers. Feel as if I dodged a bullet!

I've had very little voice contact. What I have had was not problematical. I took a CD with them when they had one of the highest rates.

The Cit Bank representative and bankers are all lack of experience , communication and knowledge. I called them since April for a refund, and they didn’t know the right way of how to proceed it. Every time they told you something different and tell you , you missed some info, after months and years, they tell you, you will get a refund in 3 days. Then later, oh you needed everything in hand writing, oh you missed a signature, oh the amount was incorrect. Oh you needed to re-upload documents. Come on, why you cannot tell everything what you needed all at once, now it’s September, you tell me I need to restart everything again when you told me I was going to get a refund in 3 days in May. Please train your staff to be professional don’t put your customers in a miserable life. I am complaining about the lack of knowledge and communication of your employees, don’t tell me to call them, sounds very ironic.

CIT Bank Has ISSUES TO BE AWARE Of. First, the long, long wait times to reach a representative, continued online login issues that do not stay once you have saved your password and account information on MacBook Pro, and on any search engine. The Auto-Pay DOES NOT WORK AND IS FAULTY WITH PAYING YOUR BILLS, MORTGAGE OR HOA DUES, and CIT Bank will not as a courtesy notify you of this IT issue, let alone, their tech support WILL NOT SPEAK DIRECTLY with the account holder, causing more hold times. Be prepared for each call to last anywhere from 30-60 minutes, if not longer. The Account Executive Director DOES NOT KEEP HIS WORD, to be accountable as he promised on the phone, but then lied on a recorded line with my mortgage company, but instead of keeping truths, tried to turn it on me, the account holder. This Bank to this date, has POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, in that they do not take accurate notes, don't update your account when asked, and they do not notify you if your account has any issuessed with bill pay or otherwise successfully like you would expect from a 100% online bank. CIT Bank has a 2 STAR RATING WITH CUSTOMER REVIEWS, and will not back their spoken words to you as the account holder, but instead will do all they can to make the account holder the issue to the problem. I reported fraud on all my accounts, notified CIT Bank of this possibility. They froze the account as all my accounts did, but, when I call to have it released and asked if my account is okay now with bill pay etc., I was told YES, but when I receive a message from my mortgage company that they had not been paid, I called CIT Bank immediately to see what the issue was. They hadn't release my accounts as promised when I initially called to make sure all was okay initially. CIT Bank has a nice APY%, but so do many online banks with great reputations. PERSPECTIVE ACCOUNT HOLDERS BEWARE, DO NOT GO WITH CIT BANK, if you do not want the same problems I've had to date. Their actions caused my mortgage company to reach out to TransUnion. I had a 766 Credit Score, but due to them went down to 715.

I opened an account on 8-18-23. As of today 8-26-23 my deposit still on hold, even though the check has been cleared from the bank. Why is it taking too long to release the funds? It shouldn’t be more than 2-3 days hold.
