Verification notes
Citizens Bank, N.A. is a national bank supervised by the OCC (FDIC BankFind cert 57957). citizensbank.com returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, so the phone numbers and policies below come from search-engine snippets of citizensbank.com pages, except the overdraft facts, which come from a Citizens investor press release. Snippets show more than one fraud number, so check the number on the card or statement.
