Complaints from Older American / Servicemember consumers

20.8% of CITIBANK, N.A.'s complaints this week were self-tagged by the consumer as coming from an Older American and/or Servicemember household (category average this week: 16.5%). This reflects who is filing complaints, not a finding about CITIBANK, N.A.'s conduct toward these consumers — see How it works.

What customers are saying

500 narratives, 2026-06-02 to 2026-07-01 (narrative text lags ~70 days behind the base complaint record — see How it works). Word size = relative frequency (square-root scaled, so no single word dominates).

36.8% of these narratives mention a fraud/scam-related word ("fraud", "scam", "unauthorized", "stolen", "identity theft", "phishing") — a keyword signal in consumers' own words, not a confirmed fraud finding by CFPB or CITIBANK, N.A..
