The Best Way to File for Citibank Complaints

Citibank is one of the largest financial institutions globally and boasts of serving over 35 million customers in the United States alone. A huge client base like this can come with its fair share of woes. The most common include credit card issues such as deactivations and declines. The second complaint typically touches on account fraud where fraudsters hack Citi customer accounts and withdraw the money to fund purchases.
