Money rules the word! This old simple and trivial statement has been true for many centuries. Rich people always put themselves above the poor. However, they can not stop. A dollar more per day makes him/her thinks of two, three, hundred and … Money spoils a person. Imagine what would have happened in this world if everyone were rich.
Money. Luckily, at the present time there are several social layers which manage to co-exist. Today, people may earn money. And smart people can make even huge money. If you do not earn much, then you can borrow some. This is another way to afford at least some of the luxuries of this life, say, a vacation, a house, a party, and the like. In the 21st century, it is not a problem to borrow money. You go to a bank just right behind the corner of your house and ask for a credit. However, do banks always offer favorable conditions for the borrower? Are they fair with the clients?
What about Charter One Bank? Is it a perfect bank to go to?
Little about the bank. Today, Citizens Financial Group operates more than 1,600 offices, 3,300 ATMs throughout 13 states in New England, the Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest. At the present time, the corporate office of Charter One Bank is based in Providence, Rhode Island.
In 2007, Charterone Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank of Connecticut, Citizens Bank (Delaware), Citizens Bank New Hampshire, Citizens Bank of Massachusetts, Citizens Bank of Rhode Island, Citizens Bank, N.A. and RBS National Bank became one bank: RBS Citizens, N.A.. Charter One Bank operates through its Citizens Bank and Charter One brands. Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, which has branches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and a commercial loan office in Virginia, remains a separate bank. It is not part of RBS Citizens, N.A.
Common complaints. They say that Charter One Bank used to be one of the most stealing banks in the country. Even if a person has money in the bank to cover 2 checks they regroup the incoming checks to their benefit so they can get 3 overdraft fees instead of just one. Customers also complain that that the banking charges, the fees for a money order and ATM charges are to high. E-check protection is considered to be completely weak. Your e-checks can easily be cashed by a stranger using the wrong password and login. And the worst thing is that the bank does not care. And there is always a serious reason for that – ‘Your application is late.’ Not a single person can reach the account using the wrong data. Bankers themselves steel the money from the customers.
