Citizens Financial Group ranked #1 bank for Baby Boomers

PHILADELPHIA – Citizens Financial Group (CFG) is the best bank in the country for baby boomers, according to a new report from the personal finance website GOBankingRates.com. The site recognized the convenience of thousands of Citizens Bank and Charter One branches and ATMs and noted CFG’s commitment to offer complimentary financial and investment reviews to anyone, “even if they are currently a client of another investment firm.”

This recognition follows Citizens’ naming last year by Money Magazine as one of the “Best Banks in America.”

Surveying local and national institutions across the United States, GOBankingRates.com measured three key considerations critical to a positive baby boomer banking experience: customer service, retirement planning and convenience.

The baby boomers – Americans ages 50 to 68 – represents the largest generation currently banking. It is projected that half the U.S population will be over 50 by 2017. The complete GoBankingRates.com list of the top 10 banks for baby boomers can be found at GOBankingRates.
