Citizens currently lists a $35 overdraft fee when it pays an eligible item. It also provides small-dollar exceptions and Citizens Peace of Mind, which can give customers time to cover an overdraft and receive a fee rebate.
Citizens wire pricing can differ by account, direction and destination. The final cost of an international wire may also include currency conversion and intermediary-bank charges.
Citizens can apply Zelle limits that depend on the account, recipient and transaction pattern. The current amount in the send flow is the safest figure to use for an actual payment.
Citizens says eligible personal checking, savings and money market customers with direct deposit may receive qualifying deposits up to two days early through Citizens Paid Early. The exact day still depends on when the payer sends the payment information.
