HELP! Will Citigroup care?

I have just finished a round of interviews at Citi and I'm waiting to hear back from them. I'm a bit worried about giving a solid first impression, so please bear with me. I currently have checking and savings accounts with Bank of America. Will Citigroup care that I have a Bank of America account? Would it be wise to open up a Citi checking account and transfer all of my funds? Thank you for your input.

If you were the the relevant boss at Citigroup would you decline employment to someone with a BofA checking account?

You get a job at Gucci HQ. You walk in with your Dolce & Gabbana suit on. The CEO decides to fire your ass for not repping your own shit!

 

I really can't tell if this is a joke, given that there's no f'ing way your bank accounts would come up in an interview, but his tone was just so serious, and with only 2 points, could be a huge noob.
