The client service line for the City National Bank that operates at cnb.com, headquartered in Los Angeles, is 1-800-773-7100. Check which bank actually holds your account before you call: several unrelated banks trade under the City National Bank name in different states, and the name on your statement, the routing number and the web address on your card tell you which one is yours.

Have the account number, the exact amounts and dates in dispute and any reference numbers ready, and follow a call with a written message through secure banking messages so there is a dated record of what was said.

A hold means the bank has delayed access to part of a deposit while the item clears. Banks in the United States publish a funds availability policy setting out how long each type of deposit can be held, and the longest holds go to large deposits, deposits into recently opened accounts, and items the bank has reason to question. The bank has to tell you when the money will be available.

Ask for the funds availability policy in writing and for the specific reason this hold was placed, then note the release date you are given. Where the hold has already caused a payment to bounce, ask for the resulting fees to be reversed and get that answer in writing rather than over the phone.

Report an unauthorized card payment or transfer to City National Bank as soon as you notice it, because the protection you have on cards and electronic transfers in the United States depends on how quickly you report it after the statement showing it. Ask the bank to open a dispute, take the dispute reference, and ask in writing what evidence it needs from you and by when.

Write down the date and time you reported it, the name of the person you spoke to and the reference you were given. Keep the statement lines, any text messages or emails sent with the transaction, and the card itself, and get a police report where the loss is large, since some disputes ask for one.

Told an unauthorized charge is yours to carry? Put it through our complaint process: our trained AI opens a case and keeps advising you on what to send and how to escalate.

Ask City National Bank for the wire reference, sometimes called the tracer or output reference, together with the exact date and time the payment left your account. With that reference the sending bank can trace the payment through the chain of banks and say where it is sitting, which is the only way to move a payment that has stopped somewhere in the middle.

Payments are commonly held for compliance checks, for a mismatch between the account name and the account number, or for a missing intermediary detail, and an international transfer can stop at a correspondent bank rather than at either end. Ask what is being checked and what would release it, keep the confirmation you were given when you sent it, and take an unresolved case to the federal regulator that supervises the bank.
