From the transfer page...

"To protect your accounts, we've set limits on how much money you can transfer. Limits can change with the From and To account selection."

When I put in from my bank in MA it shows this...

Standard
Remaining today
$2,000.00
Daily
$2,000.00
Per Transfer
$2,000.00
Monthly
$6,000.00

And every transfer I make gives me an email that says what's below. It would make sense if it took 3 days to come out of my bank. But, nope, it comes out immediately. Not pending, just gone. Then it take full 3 business days to post in CFB.

"We received your request on September 08, 2023. You should expect to see the funds in the destination account within 3 business days. The timing can vary, however, depending on the institution."

I guess I'll just suck it up until I move there full time in a couple years and then find a good credit union.
RE: the daily limit & the monthly limit: is your Citizens account a Money Market account? When Banks were allowed to offer these accounts, (which were able to pay a higher rate of interest than savings account & have check writing & immediate withdrawals unlike CDs), the government put restrictions on them ie: how many transfers/withdrawals were permitted. While regulations may have been loosened, perhaps Citizens kept the restrictions.
