Citibank
reviews and complaints

Only use my card once in a whole year actually forgot about it then started receiving late fee calls. I returned call and after spending a considerable time on the phone the fees were dropped or so I thought. Once again I'm receiving late fee calls (let me remind you on a card I never use) the fee is a late fe on the dropped renewal fee! This time when I returned the call they would not take the total fee off! This is not right! I want the entire amount which by the way is $15 off my now closed account.

I have been trying to get my money back from a Citibank or Zelle mistake for over 7 days now.
I made a transfer to the correct receiving party (checked email and bank account information and all was correct), but received a message from Citibank saying the transfer could not be processed and I should try again. However the money did leave my account.
Now, I don't know where my money is, neither does Citi or Zelle. Whenever I try to contact the dispute center I wait for over one hour on my phone (I have the call records) or get disconnected (got disconnected multiple times).

I will take legal action following this. This is disrespectful

On 5/7/2018 I noticed a transaction in my checking account that I have not authorized and immediately called Citibank to notify and get my money back, the customer service I got from Citibank is the worst service I have ever experienced in my entire life. On top of 614030 to understand what the reps were saying worh their very thick accent, they were extremely rude and were not even sorry that they were unable to protect my account from fraudulent activity despite what they say in writing when you open an account with them! I am so disappointed the way Citibank handled my situation! I have a Citibank app on my phone that alerts me whenever there's a transaction without my card, however on this particular instance of someone stealing from my account without my permission or my card being present, I have not received any alerts or any sort of notification! I found out that I was robbed when I went to the store and my card was declined! I opened a claim and waiting on my new card to arrive, until then I have no acces to my own account or pay my my bills! I am beyond frustrated as Citibank failed in protecting my account and for the worst customer service I got from them! Donot bank with Citibank if you want your money to be safe and secure and if you want good customer service!

I am Citi cardholder in the Philippines. And been a good payor but this one time that i forgot to pay my credit card and just let it because i said they will charge me with late charge and finance charge and will just wait for my next due date to pay them in full. My due date falls every 2 week of the month maybe from 13-15th. But beginning May 1 a citi agent keeps on calling to follow up payment because the due is immediate. I said what? I thought my due date falls on 2nd week of the month? To cut it short. I paid my full balance today via online and will close this account The soonest. But Citis hotline number is very disappointing and this is the most not friendly credit card i have. I only want my account to be closed. Please help. Thank you.

Mrs. Sheryl Garcia

I had a mortgage with Citibank a year and 1/2 ago. My old address (home sold) is in the Citibank file. While paying bills I accidently sent a $100 payment to Citibank instead of another payee, but I caught it the next day. Unfortunately the payment was already on its way via wire transfer from Union Bank. So I called customer service and gave the woman the old account number and told her what happened. What blew my mind is this: she told me it would be issued but would go to my old address and that I should have changed my address with Citibank. I explained that I closed the Citibank account at the time of the home sale - February 9, 2017, and why would I call to change me address as the file was simply closing. So she said she would mail me a form to change my address, and once I mailed it in it would take 7 to 10 days and then I could submit a request for my $100.00! But here is the kicker: She took my new address to mail me the change of address form and Citibank now has my new address on file! Tell me you guys get this! If not, you may want to think about it.

10/2017 I sold several items on craigslist and made a couple deposits to my new account. Days later My card was blocked.I was told to wait on a paper check 30-60 days. Its NOW 05/2018, card still blocked, I have a positive balance thats been sitting since last year but cant utilize my funds because of the block. Today 5/2/18 representative told ke on a RECORDED CALL that my account was unblocked. SHE TOLD I LIE TO GET ME OFF THE PHONE. CARD STILL BLOCKED AND NO PAPER CHECK IN ALMOST 7 MONTHS OF A CLOSED ACCOUNT.

i took all the expired documents and called back again it took 8 mis to connect again the same person Mr mohammed.
after the security check he said the card is closed on March 7th but you have to pay another AED 6.53.
this is the VAT charges of 3 months of my card membership fees.
my card renewal is on April 2018.
and i payed last year annual fee on April 2017.

what is happening, as being a loyal customer for over 10 years is that the mistake what i did, or as the customer is leaving let take that advantage and take all money that we can take from that customer.

My name is Pedro luque meras, [protected], miami, fl, 33145, I have received three letters of threat to block the account, the first I went to the nearest branch, called and nobody knew anything, the second letter call the number that appeared there, they put me with the right person and after some questions they told me that everything was fine, the third letter, finally they told me that I had to send a copy of the residence, I went back to the branch and they sent it to me by fax, summary: I have My account blocked a week ago and nobody knows anything.

On Friday, April 20, 2018, I went to deposit my work check at the bank on 2022 S Archer Ave Chicago IL. After depositing my check in the ATM I went to the teller because my account was blocked due to an overdraft on my account. In the process of trying to get my account unblocked the teller states that she can't honor my request because I deposited my check in the ATM, in the 20+ yrs I've been a customer I have never had this happen to me at no time have I ever had an issue with unblocking my account using the teller the teller in question is named Li Li mie or me or Mi I can't be too sure of the last name. As of today I'm very upset.

I have a cit iadvantage card. I rarely use it because of the following issues that the bank must take some part of the responsibilities:

For three years now, I have been given the runaround by both american airlines and cathay pacific airlines, but these two are only the beginning. This problem is with all the airlines and banks that are associated with the credit cards...
The banks advertise for credit cards offering thousands of air miles, if you will take their credit card. They run ads stating that you can fly anywhere with these free miles and enjoy other countries, so they want the customer to spend a lot of money on their cards to build up more and more miles.. Now comes the "catch 22" with this scam. People accumulate air points but when it comes time to try and use them, the airlines all play the same games. American airlines says that they must wait for cathay pacific to release seats before they can assign me a seat with points. Cathay says that aa must submit for a miles seat in advance.. I am trying to make a reservation 10 months in advance so I do not have a problem.. For 3 years now, I have tried to get a seat on a flight from newark, nj to surabaya, id. And use my miles and for 3 years all seats are not available whenever I requested seating, even with an open agenda. Aa says that airlines do not release seats with miles until the last minute, in case they can sell the seat. Usually, within a few days of flights. How can anyone make arrangements for a trip and wait until two days before leaving to arrange for the flight? I am trying to take a 30 day trip to indonesia. I have 512, 000 air miles with aa and if I can not use my miles for a trip, then what is the purpose of using credit cards offering these benefits? The banks advertise as does the airlines that they belong to a group of alliance airlines so you can switch off from one airlines to another. No problem! Really? I know what cathay is doing. The airlines waits until the last minute when seats have not been sold and then they will allow one or two seats to be used for air points. So, the banks push to use their credit cards and the airlines advertise that you can use points to travel anywhere. This is to get you to spend more money with the credit cards and when it is time to try and use the points, there is never available seats until the very last minute.. If I was paying cash for the seat, I was told that I could make an advanced reservation, so why can't I use miles, which are supposed to be the same as cash? The points are offered to lure people into using an airline's specific credit card with a lie at the end...
Can something be done?

I live abroad for the past 8 years and it has been 3 months since I´ve paid my last bill (on time) and I did forget to pay on time a few times.
They decided by themselves to close my account, but I´ve a Citibank client for the past 15 years.
There is a total lack of respect and if this is the way that citibank wants to behave with clients, I will move to another bank.
Thank you

In January I went into the Miami Shores branch to speak with Monique R. Delancy, Personal Banker, NMLS ID: 981470. I had received a notification that there was an issue with a Pop Money debit 6 months earlier that the bank did not catch and my account was debited $850.00 6 months later with zero communication to me. This debit overdrew my account and I was happy to pay it down but needed some time so Monique opened case
#R-[protected] and said she would be in touch with me soon.

It is now mid April, I have not heard back from Monique once, I have left several messages for her and emails, called customer service and escalated the matter, received yet another promise I would be called back in 24 hours before leaving the country, and STILL have not heard from anyone at your bank. I am extremely disappointed at your lack of concern for your clients. My account has since been closed while I was making payments on it, I have received letters threatening collections, my father has spoken to Monique once last week, and again she "promised" to call him back and has not. I am now in SE Asia until May and my father is trying to settle the account but no one will help him. His name is Damon Miller and he is the former President of US Bank. Will someone PLEASE contact him to settle this before you unnecessarily send me to collections because of your lack of communication. Monique should be coached as this is no way to treat a client who is doing everything to make things right.

I hope someone who actually cares receives this complaint because we do not know what else we can do at this point : (

Damon Miller is my father's name 801.597.1899 is his phone number and he is awaiting your call. I give you full authorization to discuss this matter and account with him on my behalf.

Sincerely,
Ashley Miller

Hello, tania; sorry for being redundant - "just" that on this thursday, april 12th, I am going to "trade" at the citibank at 7300 n. kendall dr. miami, fl 33156 - my 600, 000, 000 shares of mu - nasdaq (p. s. don't worry - I already have my account :-).

And, i, eric tab nadel, must add: it is rather saddening that the "angry, abusive, jealous" branch manager at the 13608 n. kendall dr. citibank is "quite as refined as fecal matter," although; in reality; that bank manager is "quite jealous" of my micron technology, inc. florida branch ownership & is "not willing" to allow myself in his branch, out of core "putrid" behavior, in reality - yet, nevertheless, I still have my outstanding account & will most easily "work" with the 7300 n. kendall dr. miami, fl 33156 branch without any problems, whatsoever & simply, "trade" 600, 000, 000 shares of mu during bank hours into my account, in simple form, & focus. that's all :-).

Oh, & yes, I shall, with no uncertainty, acquire my bank statement for yourself, tania christensen, after the "trade," & I do "request" your fax #; although; no contest: if necessary, i, eric tab nadel, am "more than willing to take a high-definition picture;" & email my very healthy balance to you, quite easily.

Ah, the sweetness of south florida weather.

Bless; eric tab nadel

Also, tania christensen; if you wish, as well to "cross-reference" myself, again, go to www.sunbiz.org & under "search records," then enter under ein/fei # - [protected].

& p. s. again; you will see a "most healthy" bank account, even after "capital gain" taxes are paid-in-full - (handled by max a. cohen; cpa/pa - of 7600 red rd suite 334 miami, fl 33143).

I want to tell people how incompetent customer service people are at citibank. I want to transfer money from citibank FD account to citibank savings account. Over the last 15 days, everyday I have talking to citibank representative to tell me what form do I need to fill, each one told me to fill & upload a form online which I have been doing everyday and it gets rejected every day. After uploading forms 4-5 times & getting rejected, I again called them & now the new representative told me that what I was told previously was incorrect and I am supposed to send form by postal mail. These are just bunch of incompetent people who don't care of customer service. Did they not know that I am supposed to send form by mail.
These people I talked to are:
Shilpa Kewal, Sarat Kumar, Arvita Karmarkar, Robin Miranda.

In another case, I called them regarding repatriation of NRO funds & they told me somebody will call me after few days. I get a call from Suresh Babu after 10 days who told me he will send me email with all the instructions which I never received. This has happened two times.
I requested to talk to the manager who refused to talk to me saying that he is busy. I can't believe such a poor customer service.

I plan to take out my accounts from out of this bank ASAP.

Hi,
I just spoke with Michael Combat's office regarding the horrible treatment I have had in the past 48 hours. I am trying to pay off an account that was included in our refinance of our home. Now mind you I only have the 1st 12 digits of the account. I have no record of the last four numbers at all

I have a check made out to Citibank Universal from Wells Fargo, but I need the past 4 numbers to make sure it is credited to this closed account. I called support yesterday @ 12:45 pm PST and the representative was going to fax me a copy of my statement with the last four numbers, he did that now I have the number and four X's no numbers

If I do not receive this information I will make sure the auto payments your now receiving are suspended because you are refusing to let me pay my bill.

I have furnished all security question to agents but yet they refuse furnish me the compete account number to pay this account off. This is not rocket science and I appreciate security, but this is a closed account and I want to mail the check, the check is from Wells Fargo WFG Mortgage Title Company to pay off this account.

Please call me, I have no time for letters .

I am a disabled and pregnant woman. I walked into the Citibank branch in San Bruno, Ca 94066 today(3/29/2018)- at about 1pm, and I waited patiently in line with 3 other people ahead of me. There was only one teller who was tending to the customers in line, her name was Florence, who happens to be of Asian decent.
When it was my turn to be assisted, I politely asked to have three of my bank statements printed out. Florence seemed irritated because there was already other people waiting behind me, she told me that I coukd have printed my statements online. I insisted on waiting patiently for my printouts, and Florence did not look too happy about my request. Finally, when she completed my request, I was going through my printouts to assure that nothing else was missing, she yelled at me and told me to move aside because there are other people waiting behind me. I was in shock by the way she spoke to me like that. I am also a Citibank customer, and there should never be a situation where an employee would ever speak to a customer in that manner.

I walked out of that San Bruno branch in tears, because I am disabled and pregnant and I couldn't believe a Citibank employee was treating me, a customer in such a horrible manner.

Thank you for your time. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone - contacts are listed below.

My husband went to make a $1, 570.00 in his Citi Bank checking account at 8:00 AM on 3/23/18 through the ATM before heading to work. The ATM spit out a receipt saying "I'm sorry. Because of technical problems, I can't return your cash right now. This piece of paper doesn't specify the amount that was just deposited at the time. When he checked his account the account stated $0 dollars. He waited 2 more hours till the branch open to speak to the branch manager. During this time he had to miss work. When 10am came around and the branch manager Reina Hernandez arrived she simply told him that the branch has nothing to do with the ATM and that this happens often. Completely wipe her hands and wanted nothing to do with it. She didn't lift a finger to try and help. She went inside the bank and went on about her business; she didn't even provide my husband with the customer service number. My husband called the number on the back of the debit card where he was told he was going to have to wait 10 days and they couldn't do anything about it. I consider this theft from Citi Bank. No one wants to take resposibilty and do anything about resolving the problem. My husband told the branch (#518)"manager"he was going to call the cops and she simply answered"okay called me when they get here"as my husband waited outside the branch. The police made a police report and recommended to my husband to file a civil lawsuit against Citi Bank which we have already contacted our lawyer for this matter. Our bills are completely on hold due to this and we are being charged late fees. We have contacted every number we could find and search on the internet and everyone has given us the run around and told us that we have to wait 10 days and that a investigation has been open. As I did some research I read that a lot of other Citi Bank customer have has the same problem several times and no one has resolved their issue either. This is the most unprofessival bank and incociderated people to ever trust with you hard earned money. As per the branch (#518)"manager"Reina Hernandez once I came to the branch to get an explanation why couldn't she just open the ATM and withdraw our money that was in limbo and we need asap to cover out due bills, she was the most unprofessinal branch"manager" we have ever dealt with. She refuse to help us with anything and actually threaten us with having to close our account. She just repeated that this happens all the time and she can't do anything about it. She mention that they have a company called brinks that comes once a month and she knows nothing else that she can do for us as she walked away smiling and got back to her personal call in her office. She said to me that she would have the cops drag me out of the branch (#518) if she had to. The nastiest person I have ever come across in my life. I thought managers are there to help the customer and see if they can reach a solution to the problem at hand. This woman didn't lift a pen to help instead made threats, claimed this happens all the time at this branch (#518) and she smiled to me and my family as she walked away. My husband spent an entire day trying to resolve this horrible matter with zero resolution. He had to miss work which means more money loss due to this horrible matter. Today is 3/27/18 Monday and we still have not gotten our money back. Again this is theft from Citi Bank. We have called customer service and we have been hung up on and given the run around over and over. We have yet to cover our pass due bills no one is willing to help. I have some family members that have Citi Bank and theft will be closing their accounts due to this disaster and deft. As I mention we have contacted our lawyer and will take this to court since we feel some one is go to answer for this mess and theft.

I was having a surgery coming up on march 19th, 2018. As i was at the hospital Lenox Hill NYC, on March 16th, i was trying to process a payment for the amount needed of 2, 000.00. The process payment at the terminal say declined. I tried again along with the receptionist clerk helping me to process the payment for the second time, was declined. At that moment i called the bank to verify the using of my debit card was genuine. The representative tried to help me but still payment was keep being declined. I asked to speak to a supervisor, she tried to help me to resolve the problem saying was a matter of proving the right person using the account, i was getting frustrating as my surgery date was approaching, i need this to be done, well nothing was resolved even when was proved that the account was mine. I left the hospital office very dissapointed at Citibank and the way they handle my money. The next day Saturday 17th i went to one of the branches near my home to talk to one of the Rep, i was with him for at least 25 minutes trying to fix the issue. Afyer going tru my account and the system He assured me everything was good to go. When the day of my surgery came i went to the financial dept to process the payment before my schedule appointment for 1:00pm started. The same thing swipe my card was declined. Was very worry, totally dissapointed and upsept. No good business at all. Was never expecting this kind of bad business specifically, being with Citibank for years. Finally, i had to use my Discover credit card to cover the whole amount of money for my surgery to be done. I feel i cant trust on my own money in my city bank account. Im very dissapointed. Ready to transfer and do business with a diferent bank.
