Did anyone receive a 1099 from Citizens for Investors bonuses paid out in Jan/Feb 2023? I mean the $25 monthly ones for DD or mobile deposit?

I logged into my Citizens account and noticed that there was an extra checking account in my profile. Did some digging and it looks like it’s an Investors account that I closed in June 2022. Tried to call Citizens to see what’s going on but wait time to speak to a rep is >60 minutes. Incredibly annoying. Anyway, this is a PSA to everyone to check that any recently closed Investors accounts haven’t been resurrected with Citizens.

Update: I got through to a rep and she said that despite showing in my profile, my old Investors account is still closed. She couldn’t explain why the account was showing but said it should disappear from my profile in 60 days.

I logged into my Citizens online banking today and also saw my closed Investors Checking which is now converted to Citizens One Deposit Checking (account# remains the same as previous Investors checking account#) . The old Investors checking statements can be found in Citizens online banking as well.

I closed my Investors account back in early December 2022. I hope it remains as closed (not reopened) after it is transferred to Citizens because there is no status shown it is a closed account. It just shows above my other Citizens active checking account. Confusing indeed.

10/31 opened in branch, $50 cash deposit
11/28 $501 Chase ACH transfer
12/1 $300 reward for new account

Easiest bonus I’ve ever done. Sad to see this bank get absorbed into the mess that is Citizens Bank. Their app is so quick and gets everything done that I need without fuss and the citizens platform is so sluggish and buggy.

Account opened on 10/10. Actual DD posted on 10/25. Received bonus on 11/1.

Can anyone confirm that there is no early account termination fee?

After we close accounts with Investors, how long will our login remains active? If I close now, when January 2023 comes, will my login still be active for me to retrieve my 1099 tax form online?

I opened my account in 9/20/2022 and already received bonus on 9/30/2022. Now that 10/31 statement was generated, I wonder if I can close the account or is it too early?

As long as you keep a record for yourself of how much you got paid you don’t need the tax form from them.

I usually input them manually and don’t bother waiting for the tax forms.

Almost all banks mail the 1099 form regardless if you are on paperless statements. I would never keep an acct just to get the tax form. Worst case you can call them and get the info.

The current plan is for Investors to move over to Citizens in Feb 2023. I would think closed accounts are not going to be keeping their login accounts – they are going to have enough on their hands to move the current customers over.

Just tried opening this account and got denied. Received an email:
We regret to inform you that we cannot proceed with the opening of your account.
If you have questions, please contact our NICE Center at 855-422-6548.

I called that phone number and they also didn’t know why I was denied.

Wondering if anyone here has more info. FYI I am in NY and there are branches nearby – I can try going in to do it, although I’d rather try to avoid that if possible. Thanks!
