You can travel hundreds of miles in any direction and stop at every First Citizens Bank you pass and you will never find a teller as rude as the ones at this location. One or twice? Maybe they ate having a bad day? Multiple times? That means it's a work culture there. I don't have a large sum of money in my account, but I'm never in the negative, I don't owe them any money, so why do I leave there feeling like garbage? There is nothing wrong with being kind, or even indifferent, but staring someone up and down and being rude is so unnecessary.
I'm pulling my money out of first citizens, along with my families money. They won't miss me but I bet they'll miss my dad's money.

Tellers are great. No problem there.
Lost my card on a weekend out, and asked for them to send a new card in the mail… that was on December 20th and now it’s January 21st and I still don’t have a card from them.
I Had to open an account somewhere else to have a working card to pay bills with.
Customer care could be much better.

I have several accounts with FCB and always rely on this Merrimon Ave branch for assistance. I always have a great banking experience as the tellers and account managers go above and beyond what is expected of them to make sure that my requests and needs are met. Rachel and the rest of the team are professional, knowledgeable and helpful! Thanks all!

First really satisfying bank I’ve ever been to. Excellent customer service and great workers. I really like this place and trust them with my money and that’s hard to do after bad experiences with Bank of America before. Rachel is my favorite.
