Effective June 13, 2020, end users whose devices utilize legacy encryption will no longer be able to access Bank-by-Net and CitizensBank24 - Mobile. This change can affect CitizensBank24 - Mobile app users regardless of your app version.

Citizens Bank supports the current and prior major releases of Internet Explorer (IE) 11, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. When a new version is announced as Release to Web (RTW), support will cease on the third-oldest major version.

Supported Browsers - Current and Prior Major Release

  • Internet Explorer (IE) 11 & Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Safari - Apple/Mac Users only
