I have a checking and a saving account with Citizens Bank. I made a withdraw on the ATM, the ATM allowed me to take the money, little did I know it was overdrawn, but first, the ATM didn't tell I had insufficient fund in my checking account, secondly, I have plenty of money in my saving account to cover it, (it was only overdraw by $5.00) My other bank has a protection which will do it automatically, but not Citizens Bank. They slammed me with a $22.00 overdraft fee, to top that, two days later, they charged me another $35.00 on what they called "Service Charge Sustained Overdraft Fee", so my $5.00 overdraw costed me $57.00. No wonder Citizens Bank is profitable for RBS, they are thieves just like the other greedy bankers. So caveat emptor, when you deal with banks, it's like walking in a mine field, you never know when you are going to be trapped!!! I agree with akilez, I too was robbed by Citizens Bank.

Okay try to Overdraft your debit card by a Penny and this bank will charge you $37.00 overdraft fees. Credit card only charge $25.00 for Overdraft or don't charge you at all but Banks like Citizen and other banks make this world a more corrupt than ever before. AIG, Subprime mortages,Lehman Bros etc etc. These are the institution that make this world so evil and greedy. If you have low credit score they raise monthly payments. Which I still don't understand. Well, What can we do nothing because Banks control the world economy. I hope Banks don't start selling weapons to third world countries to make more profit. The World Indeed. Banks is the root of all evil. This bank like any other bank is robbing the POOR and giving to the Rich people.
