First Citizens Bank is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at most branches, with some locations staying open until 6 p.m. or opening on Saturday mornings
Most First Citizens Bank branches operate during standard business hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some branches extend to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and a number of locations open on Saturday mornings, typically from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The exact hours depend on which branch you're visiting—a busy downtown location may have different hours than a smaller suburban one.
The fastest way to check if your specific branch is open today is to visit the First Citizens Bank website, enter your zip code in the branch locator, and click on the branch name. The locator shows today's hours and whether the branch is currently open. You can also call the branch directly—the phone number appears in the locator results.
If you need to do banking outside regular hours, First Citizens offers 24/7 access through its mobile app and online banking platform. ATMs are available around the clock for withdrawals, deposits (at machines equipped with mobile deposit), and balance checks.

What You Can Do When Your Branch Is Closed
You don't need to wait for a branch to reopen for most banking tasks. First Citizens' mobile app and website let you transfer money between accounts, pay bills, deposit checks by photograph, check balances, and freeze or unfreeze your debit card. These services work at any time, day or night.
ATMs accept deposits at most First Citizens locations and dispense cash 24/7. If you need to speak with someone outside branch hours, First Citizens offers phone support during extended hours—check the website for the current customer service phone number and its hours.
Finding Your Branch and Its Hours
Go to the First Citizens Bank website and use the "Find a Branch" or "Locations" tool. Enter your zip code or city name. The results show each nearby branch with its street address, phone number, and hours for each day of the week. Click on a specific branch to see whether it's open right now.
If you're traveling or need a branch outside your home area, the same locator shows First Citizens locations nationwide. You can also search by service type—some branches offer investment services, mortgage lending, or business banking, while smaller branches may handle basic deposits and withdrawals only.
Drive-Through and Lobby Access
Most First Citizens branches have both a drive-through window and an indoor lobby. Drive-through hours sometimes differ from lobby hours—the drive-through may close 30 minutes before the lobby does, or open 15 minutes after it. The branch locator or a call to the branch will clarify which services are available at which times.
During winter weather or other emergencies, a branch may close early or open late. If you're planning to visit for a time-sensitive task, a quick phone call to confirm the branch is open and has the service you need is worth the minute it takes.
