Citibank — corrupt employee

A well paid employee of citibank, Mr Pradipto Kumar Biswas, needs, SOMETHING extra, from me, to do the work, assigned to him.

All of MUST stand against corruption.
better go for some nationalized back.. SBI is mch better as they are offering cheque faclity A/c with only 1000/- Rs min . balance..
CITIBANK - go to sleep.. u will loose many customers and in turn ur revenue
i too lost money, bank did not send any mails regarding this, they should inform us if there is a change.

This MSG is for Mr. R. Thakur of Citibank.

According to you, you have started serveing your elite customers and can you please explain what do you mean by ELITE in context. Your statement is rude, discriminated, arogant and plus show how you all people care for customers. If this will be the notion of the employee of the bank then this bank is sure to see the return outward way.

I have a reson to support my above statement. Your so called prefered customers are very few in this country and if you wanna run your bank with approx 10000 customer base then plaese pack your coz you have cab to catch. This is a democratic country and latter or sooner there will be a resolution by RBI and you all will have bend your knees.

Success of financial instituion and banks are in the hand of public. More in numbers more the profit they earn. This is a number game and you bankers should know how to run it...
Remember, that you are doing business in India. Having said that you should consider the financial capability of the common people and focus your bunisess on them. You are successful becoz of the support and trust from the people from Mid/Lower Segement. And now you are considering them as worthless. Now you want to lick the elite . Why dont you freaking change the name from Citibank to Elite Bank. That would make more sense. Its my request to all the people of our nation to stop using Citibank Products. Spread the message and aware the fraud behavior of Citibank. Lets show them the power o[censored]nity and Integrity.

Its really shameful and disgracefull to read comments from R Thakur. Citibank is successful today, because the common people have shown their faith and support in them. Its because of the mid/lower segment people, that the business has flourished and the bank has reached new heights. Now that you have achieved the popularity, you consider them worthless. Why don't you change the name from "Citibank" to "Elitebank". You want to serve the so called ElITE class, but remember by ignoring the common class you are asking for financial crisis and loss beyond your imagination. Your existense will soon be wiped out. I request everybody to stop using Citibank Products in our fight against monopoly. I would request the Govt of India to step forward and put some strict guidelines on minimum cap.

Regards
Lawrence
Hey People did U realize now...haha... :) This is just the begining of the music all these big aaaaaaaa... non INDIAN Banks try to conquer Our INDIAN market in this way Only. Haven't U people learnt from the HISTORY? Britishers conquering our INDIA...This is the same...way...Enjoy
By the time we relize EVERY thing is gone
All the private banks are more or less the same. Avoid having accounts with these private banks after you change your job. They always wait for a customer to make mistake and later charge money from them. It's very sad that they have increased the minimum balance without any communication.
Citibank always s****s. They were/are charging 100rs for using the bank staff to withdraw the money and many people are unhappy about it.

Never had a positive feedback about citibank from any of my known circle..Most people including me have closed the account

WOULDN't ADVICE citibank to be a personal banking account
Hello Mr Thakur...

Is this the way citibank treats the customer.. and I am sure this is the most preferrable way citibank wants to treat the customers who they have managed to capture even from labour level...

If you want RICH people who have atleast 25000 in the bank everyday, Why the hell you go and get corporate account from labour companies that pay such a minimum wage to the employees who are labours? When they are with you it is corporate account but Poor people they wouldn''t know that if it is not corporate CITIBANK acts as a smuggler?

Learn to give convincing answers if you can not stop sending replies... if you start getting rude comments from all the customers, not only you, no business can survive for a long time. And that too in a country like where quite a bit of strong healthy competitions., .
There was no whatsoever communication happened between the bank and the customer with regard to the increase in the "relationship value"(What relationship value-as if [censored]ing you invented and patented online banking) minimum deposit, well at least in my case and with many whom I know who has a Citibank account. This is ridiculous practice and its pity that this bank got rid of the whole issue with no impact.This is nothing but cheating and I think citibank will one day pay a huge price for this.If some one in the bank's strategic marketing team is having a laugh... well the day is not that long
This is too much that, citi bank has increased minimum balance from Rs.10000/- to Rs.25000/-. as we are normal person getting a salary of Rs.20000/-. how can we maintain 25000/- min. balance. From last 3 months they are deducting Rs 250/, i am frustrated what should i do.

screw citi bank guys, and dont give a damn about the hired goons if they are already charging monthly fee for accounts having less than minimum balance.
remember how they cheated the so called "elite customers" who have large amount in their deposit. The whole hierarchy is corrupt - remember the citi bank guy who was arrested in Gurgaon??
Yes citi bank is very bad bank, If you have less then Rs.25000 in your account, Then it is dedcting your money.I am also victime of that.I have check my account after 2years and It have deducted my lots of amount from my account. So, I will suggest please avoid to open account in citi bank.I think SBI is very good bank we have to maintain only Rs.1000 only.
Mr R THAKUR kindly close all the accounts in your bank which are not elite class.
Remember one thing . even one private bank increased minimum balance from 5000 to 10000 but bank previosly informed all customers and had given them exit option also but did not charged direclty

dont looto my indian brothers and sisters
other wise you will be no where
and tell tomorrow if citbank kicks you off and you go to some other bank, wouldnt you critisize citibank
first think then act
be wise or else otherwise
understand mr thakur
Customer friendly Option Banks...
HDFC Bank Minimum Balace = 10, 000
Axis bank Minimum balace = 5, 000
Stat Bank of India = 1000
Punjab Nation Bank = 1000

they all are good banks...choose according your balace maintained

Im was an Employee at Reputed Firm, Im Just waiting for my PF claim, U Wont believe i did not have Intimation sent to me, Instead sent to the alternate company Address, I 've Joined another Company which offers three other banks also yours for salaried account, I prefer to go with the National Bank. Ridiculous Citibank Rules, I monthly earn twice the money which is the minimum Balance, But Better take take your bank from where ever you came from,

One Important Message to all people, If you have citibank account, Better Close the account immediately if you have a salaried account, You 'll Go through the same run around that i went through, Where i had over 1 lakh 30 thousand, in my account, They Just closed the account, and sent the DD worth 130000 to my Previous company, I would never recomend any to have Citibank For any reason.

I Hate their Rules and Service, Except the Internet Banking.. :(
No one got the information about deducting the minimum balance and this is such a huge amount revison of 10000 to 25000. Do the citibank really want to maintain their Customers. This is really ridiculous. I definitely change my account soon that is the best way.

hi...
Guys
I was also having salary account with citibank of my prevoius job, Now it is changed to suvidha individual account, they charge me Rs.250, if the minimum balance is less than Rs.25000. without giving any alert message. Otherwise for every transaction they give alert message on mobile but after deducting (Rs250 +educaton chess charge) no alert message came in mobile.This is cheating by citibank

This is american bank and if this bank is imposing this type of rule in India so i think we all should take active participation to throw this bank back to America ...If this bank is not for comman man so, it also do not have rights to do bussinesss in India ("GO back CITIBANK")

Can sombody tell how to do complain against this bank.
my email is [protected]@yahoo.co.in
