City National Bank Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Massachusetts

On Thursday, - - I set up and was approved for a personal checking account with City National Bank. I was given an account number and routing number and was told by my account representative that I could begin immediately using the account and make appropriate direct deposit arrangements with companies or entities paying me to send money to my new account with City National Bank. On - - and - - I arranged with and did the appropriate paperwork with many companies and entities to being immediately sending money to my new account with CNB. My account rep at CNB also ordered and sent via - overnight my Platinum Check Card and temporary pin number to me which I did receive on Monday, - -. Based on the account being opened on - -, I closed an account with a existing financial institution. On Monday, - - after informing over - companies of my new account and new direct deposit instructions I was contacted by a very rude CNB representative stating my previously approved account was now being closed due to alleged negative information they received from ChexSystems. They were very uncooperative and insensitive to the fact that 4 days prior they approved the account and I had already made many arrangements for direct deposits to go to my new account. Emails to executives were with met with rudeness, disrespect and lies. The account was never reopened. I also was informed that if in fact - had a negative report on me, CNB would have known immediately on - - when attempting to set up my account. Not 4 days later. This bank has caused a lot of unnecessary stress, wasted time and severely disrupted my life as now payments I was expecting will be delayed due to companies already changing bank info for direct deposits.
