Citibank, National Association Reviews

February 25, 2022 |
I joined Citi with a Costco-VISA card. An Accelerate followed, and then a checking account.
Costco-VISA is necessary for using a credit card at Costco, otherwise cash is necessary.
Accelerate Savings was opened to park some cash with a decent rate (though not the highest).
Checking was added to have access to large amounts from Accelerated Savings.
It is difficult dealing with a bank that is not local. Calling customer service sometimes has a wait-time and many agents are unable to provide information when it is more complicated than the current balance. Some agents are much better.
There are limits to moving money from the Accelerate account.
• Online transfer limit $10,000/day; $15,000/30 days
• ATM (Target, and many others) $1,500/day, unlimited days
Easy way around it: transfer funds to checking and write a check for as much as you want.
Banks insured by the FDIC are a commodity. Money goes in; earns some interest; money goes out. They are differentiated by interest rate, easy of money movement, and accessibility of information. Citi is medium – 3-stars. My local bank is also 3-stars – lower interest rate, but better services.
I prefer dealing person-to-person, but 435 miles to the closest Citi branch is a bit too far.
