Citibank opened a second credit card in a customer name without authorization, creating an unauthorized credit line that affects credit utilization and exposes the customer to fraudulent charges. This mirrors Wells Fargo documented unauthorized account opening practices at scale. Consumer credit monitoring services that alert on new account openings address the detection gap.
