Parent Bank Initiatives:
Citizens Bank has outlined an extensive plan for its financing of sustainable energy projects. Additionally, Citizens has put in place a power purchase agreement to source all of its own operations from wind. It began working with Ørsted's Sunflower wind project in 2022 and is believed to have provided funding to several Ørsted projects, including its offshore wind projects in Massachusetts and New York. It is not known to be a major financier of oil and gas projects.
Citizens acquired an oil and gas lending team in 2015 but it unclear whether it still exists and whether the bank is currently providing any financing to the oil and gas industry.

Citizens is just a great CSR experience in every way imaginable (user interface, phone support, etc.) compared to any of these other places on this list. Also, a recognized and positive brand (at least throughout the northeast). I just renewed a 1-year CD with them and highly recommend. (Four 1/2 stars because I wish the rates were further towards to top of this table).

The website is constantly down. I'll move all my accounts to a less recognized name with a better rate as that gives me fewer surprises like this.

updated review - The bank managed to finally provide the requested document listing the beneficiary after a number of calls. So will add a few stars. The website still needs some work to be more descriptive of the transfer information. It is pretty useless as all it has is generic info with no bank information listed under the source of the transfer. Pretty mediocre for a bank listed as having over 160 billion in assets.

I'm only comfortable with banks whose names I recognize and among those 4 or 5 I have found Citizens consistently has the best rate in 2022. Also outstanding service. I will stick with this one over anything else on this site.
