Basic Banking Not Reliable Or Versatile
I have had this app for several years now and have never been very impressed with it. The accounts views show transactions and date information. The mobile deposit for checks works just fine. There have been several occasions where the app will have random unknown errors that causes it not to let you log in to the account. This can be very frustrating when you need to check balances or transactions in a time sensitive manner. I do not like that the Citizens Bank credit card is not integrated better to the account and app. The only thing you can do with it on the app is view transactions, but you cannot easily make and schedule payments using the app. I have found that only the primary cardholder can have the transactions show, but a second cardholder cannot see transactions through their account, even if they are the second name on the account. I have used several other apps through banks that have their cards very well integrated and streamlined for simple payment and tracking. I have not had any issues utilizing the Zelle feature for family and friends, so that is also a good feature. For such a large banking chain, they need to devote more time to their software development and modernization, but this app does alright for its basic functionality.

How Does Zelle Work
When you enroll with Zelle through the Citizens Bank app, your name, your financial institutions name, and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle . When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile phone number, Zelle looks up the email address or mobile number in its directory and notifies Citizens Bank of the incoming payment. Citizens Bank then directs the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.
Can I Cancel A Payment
You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasnt yet enrolled with Zelle. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasnt yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select Cancel This Payment.
If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, the money is sent directly to their bank or credit union account and cannot be canceled. This is why its important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure youve used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
If you sent money to the wrong person, we recommend contacting the recipient and requesting the money back. If you arent able to get your money back, call our customer support team at 262-363-6500 team so we can help you.

Bring Back The Old App

Aesthetically I find this ad to be very nice. What makes me crazy is the two layer authentication. I have that on my credit card which is fine because I might access it twice a month. However, I access my Citizens accounts three or four times a day. The two level authentication is way over the top.The widget that was on the old app is now gone. I used to find that to be very helpful.There were many times that I would make a charge on my debit card and it wont show up for three or four days. That makes balancing my account so much more difficult.If you call customer service I have the phone errata hold for an incredibly long period of time.
