Citizens did piss me off. When they were Charter one, they lured me from M&T by giving me $50 to open a free checking account, with direct deposit from work. Since it’s in a more convenient location, I stuck with it. They promised no changes when they switched to Citizens, yet there was a mysterious $8/month charge came up:mad: Took me a while to notice. When I went in there to withdraw all my money, they offered to switch me over to a blue account or something like that, and I got the money back they had charged for all the months. ---
