Today I met with Marian ** The Truist Bank in Casselberry, Florida. I needed to get copies of 14 checks from the year 2022 and 2023. She located them with no problem. Printed them for me. Terrific service. Didn't have to wait very long in the lobby. Enjoyed meeting her.

On May 22, 2026 at approximately 10:15am I initiated a call to Truist Bank in an effort to transfer funds to an external bank. My online customer service representative's name was Salicia, she indicated she worked out of North Carolina. This transaction lasted 1:34 minutes and I could not have been more satisfied. There were challenges between accounts, time frames for funds availability during a holiday weekend, verifications... everything that could have gone wrong, did.

Salicia was very knowledgeable about Truist's products, flawless navigation of the Truist website. She conveyed professionalism under the pressure I provided. She remained courteous. She was very patient and provided explanations regarding Zelle and other options in transferring funds along with the necessary steps in the verification process. Most importantly, she was respectful and persistent in providing me with a successful transaction. When all was resolved there was genuine humor between us regarding the experience. I was extremely pleased with the service Salicia provided. Truist, take note of this message and her performance. She is an asset to your business and an example for others to emulate. S.

    I have been working with Truist Bank at the Stuart Florida location (5545 SE Federal Highway) for several years now. Whether it is a loan, wire transfer, or just simple banking, everyone has been extremely nice to me. Senior Banker ** had been extremely helpful prior to moving to another branch. I would like to point out that recently Senior Relations Banker ** has been so helpful with everything that I have needed to get done as well.

    Customer Service told me TWO times the 4% Money Market rate was NOT an introductory rate. I opened an account and called a local Bank...they told me the 4% WAS an introductory rate. I decided to go ahead and open for 3 months. I attempted to transfer another $5k the same way I did the $100 to open the account and absolutely nothing happened, after waiting two days...even though I had confirmation the transfer had started. I also found out at the same time...you can only transfer $12.5k during a rolling 30 day period. Which is $2,500 under the $15k minimum to not incur a $15 monthly charge. That was the last straw...closed account. Absolutely painful and wasted a LOT of my time.

    I was drawn to Truist Bank because I wanted a more personalized banking experience, and their $400 new-customer promotion seemed like a good incentive to give them a try. Unfortunately, since opening my account online and making my initial deposit, my experience has been nothing but delays, confusion, bank-imposed restrictions, misdirection, and what I consider extremely poor customer service. I am 64 years old, and I can honestly say this has been the worst banking experience I have ever had. At this moment, Truist has more than $3,500 of my money that I cannot access. I have been told to “wait patiently” while the issue is resolved, even though the problem appears to have been caused by an error on their end.

    The day after I deposited a $1,500 check at a Truist branch in Southlake, Texas, I learned that my account had been closed because of an alleged fraudulent deposit of more than $15,000. That deposit does not appear in my online account, and I never received any notification from Truist that there was a problem. I only found out because I called Truist after repeated attempts to use my debit card were declined. That debit card, by the way, took 10 days to arrive by USPS.

    So now I am left with my money unavailable, no clear explanation, and no meaningful resolution other than being told to wait. I do not know what the next couple of days will bring, but I can say this: the moment my money becomes available, I intend to withdraw it and close this account. My advice to anyone considering Truist because of the $400 promotion is simple: be very careful. Based on my experience, this has not been personalized banking. It has been frustrating, stressful, and completely unacceptable.

    My 94 year old uncle, decided to make me executor of his estate including all of his bank accounts, Synovus, Wells Fargo and Truist. He and I went to an estate planning attorney and had a durable power of attorney drawn up, notarized, and filed with the courts years ago. Recently, several of his credit card accounts have been misused by someone and in order for me to get to the bottom of the issue and file a fraud claim, I needed to close all credit cards accounts in his name and obtain statements for the past six months to review. I provided Truist with an electronic copy of my POA, the same as I did with his other banks.

    My POA was suitable for Synovus and Wells Fargo, but not Truist. I was able to close his credit cards and obtain six months of statements from each institution except Truist. I have called Truist at least six times over the past two weeks and each time I speak with a customer service representative I get a different answer. I did manage to get the personal credit card account closed with one customer service representative and was told the statements would be emailed.

    This morning I asked to escalate to a manager and was told by him unfortunately the POA did not specify credit card accounts. It specifically states I am able to establish accounts of all kinds, including checking and savings. It also states I am able to negotiate, endorse or transfer any checks or other instruments with respect to any such accounts to contract for any services rendered by any bank or financial institution. I live in New Mexico and can’t just jump in the car and drive him to the bank in South Carolina. He’s on a walker, 100% disabled veteran, 80% hearing loss and only leaves the house for doctor’s appointments.

    I was a loyal SunTrust customer for over 10 years and the merger to become Truist was the worst! This company does not value customer loyalty and their customer service has been atrocious. I called about my personal checking account and the agent told me to stop taking this personally and move on. Additionally, they sent notices to an address that wasn’t mine and closed my account. When I pointed out they sent the notices to the wrong address, they acknowledged it, but refused to rectify the situation. I would not recommend opening an account with them!

    Has been extremely frustrating on a regular basis to try and be a customer of this absolutely miserable excuse for a bank. We didn't sign up for this, they acquired SunTrust. The customer service is now non-existent. I could site 50 examples, but folks have already highlighted the ineptness of this bank. Latest nightmare, we initiated an online check from our account to a contractor doing work at our house. 7 days later Truist had still not sent the check.

    The contractor was not happy, Truist was simply keeping our money as long as they could as they always do because they care more about interest than they do their customers. So my wife drives 30 minutes to a branch over lunch and stops the "online payment" in order to get a certified check to hand to the contractor. Truist was rude at the branch, which is typical, had zero empathy for the situation they put us in, and proceeded to charge us $35 to cancel the check that they never sent. This is it for us. It is a pain in the butt to change all of the accounts we have a Truist, but this is the final straw. Off to find a bank that actually cares about customers. It will not take much to be better than this pathetic excuse for a bank.

    Would rate zero if possible. I was trying to pay off my overdraft credit line of $6,000 dollars. I called to get directions from Truist and followed the directions to the letter. Every time I called I was given a new excuse for why the money was received but not posted. For all banks in America I checked with, wire transfers are posted same day within one hour. Today I found out Truist takes 7-10 business days- 2 calendar weeks. Truist also cancelled my money market account without notice because "the rules changed" but I was never advised of any rule changes.

    I filed a complaint with the CEO of Truist about this and he " doesn't care". This is an unethical bank and each time you call, you will be told a "different story" about why the last person from Truist bank told you the wrong information. No one in this bank is held accountable for what they say or do. Records you send in mysteriously disappear until you threaten to file a formal complaint about the person who didn't file them. Stay away from Truist unless you enjoy spending all your time in the phone trying to find where they put your money that you now have no access to.

    Most inefficient banking personnel!!! I have submitted my husband‘s death certificate. Talked to someone at the Truist office who submitted a request to the “back office” for the gap refund to be re-issued in my name only. They have issued two checks, made payable to my husband and myself, even though they have the death certificate on file. I am waiting now for the third check, hoping it will be made payable only to me.

    I’m wondering if this institution launders money for criminals? I was scammed for a wire transfer in the amount of $13,380. Unfortunately by the time I discovered this, the money had been released, even though it was only a couple days. I read others mentioning this bank holds money for up to 10 days, not in my case. I would not trust my money in this bank. Since I filed an FBI report, I’m sure they will have the Feds on their backs soon. I hope to get repaid.

    I have been a customer of BB&T since 2004 and remained through the Truist merger. This week, I submitted a request through their online transfer service, Zelle, to send my niece a cash birthday gift. I was just notified that the Zelle transaction did not go through and was cancelled as a result of "fraud" and I was not notified of that situation.

    I attempted to check my balance to confirm that the Zelle transaction was not completed and learned that my account access had been blocked. I called to investigate and after 90 minutes speaking with four people at Truist advising me that the only way they could unlock my account and access was to visit a Truist branch office. I live in Arkansas where there is no Truist branch office with a 200-mile radius and I am currently on assignment where there is no Truist branch office in the entire state... and they will not consider that their 20+ year customer is being denied access. This is totally and completely unacceptable. I have accounts with them which I am closing today.

    I’m currently facing significant financial difficulties and experiencing issues with my checking account at Truist Bank in Florida. I deposited a check for $1,620 last week, and the bank is holding it for a week, leaving me without funds. I specifically chose an account that doesn't penalize me for overdrafts. However, the bank states they're holding the check because I overdraft frequently. I currently have a negative balance of $26 and struggle to cover necessary expenses such as car payments and gas. Is it legal for the bank to hold my check under these circumstances, and do I have any grounds to sue them for this hold?

    I have been with Truist for almost 5 years and recently I had to report and go through their fraud department because my bank account had a negative $3,000 and I was told a fraudulent check had went through. I went to the process with them and Reporting it to the police and to the federal commission's and to the IC3 and from February 11th through February 17th they held me accountable and did not communicate with me to tell me and I had continuously even after February 17th sending them emails and anything and everything that I possibly could. Even after the police investigation found it to be fraudulent and not me not at fault, Chase Bank took money off my account. Even after they froze the account they took social security disability payments. They took everything.

    They did not communicate with me and explain why they found me accountable. They did not have any sense of communication skills. Their fraud department is like an intelligence and communication. I went to Social Security they requested for the bank to return the Social Security Disability deposits. It has been several days and they have yet to do so. I have suffered chronic anxiety from this and panic attacks and fear because of this horrible experience. I went to Google and Googled Truist reviews and then I find out so many people have reported fraudulent activity on their accounts and yet truist holds the client responsible and they side with the frauds. They allow the people committing fraud and side with them. The client is not the priority.

    My doctors even got involved aside from all of the other people of legal systems and yet here we are March 3rd and Truist Bank has my number my email and they still lack communication. They have never once tried to communicate with me to set up a payment plan or even told me they found me accountable, I went to the office and talk with the bank manager. That was yesterday and they put the fraud department on speaker and they told him that they found me accountable because money came from my account and I gave the manager time to speak with them and he told them that I was there in present from the beginning and reminded them I was still there.

    I spoke up and I asked the fraud system for TruWest Bank why have they lacked communication skills with me. Why have they not communicated any of this evidence toward me when I have provided them sufficient evidence even from legal systems of my innocence. And that they were committing fraud against Me by stealing money from me and they were stealing money from the government that did not belong to them and I told the fraud department what they were doing was illegal and it is wrong and then I reminded them of the reviews that are available online about how they treat their clients and how they are mishandling and abusing the trust of their clients and our accounts.

    I have never in my life had these problems with this Bank and when they froze my account it prevented me from getting all of my medications for the month of February. Considering I am 6 months post-op cranial surgery my doctor has already written a complete letter stating how I am not supposed to be under stress and how this affects me because they would not allow me any money to get my prescriptions that were waiting for me at my Pharmacy. And they prevented me from accessing disability checks to pay my rent and to pay my car insurance and my phone service to maintain Communications with my health care providers, this bank and this fraud department has literally put my life in danger by preventing me from getting my medications consisting of blood thinner and mental health related medications that I have been on for 30 years and being 6 months post-op from cranial surgery.

    They do not care about any of their clients they lie and they are misleading and then they say they apologize and I corrected that person in the fraud Department in front of the bank manager, "No do not tell me what your words that you apologize. Show me by your actions," because I was unable to get my medications. In fact my doctor got my medications for me to make sure that I had them and I started having panic attacks and anxiety not being able to sleep until 4:00 and 5:00 in the morning and feeling restlessness and having anxiety so bad I thought I would pass out and this was because my body was going through withdrawals without my medications, this bank and its actions literally put my life at risk and in danger by not allowing me to have my medications nor the security of my bills being paid and holding me accountable for something I did not do.

    One star is a generous overstatement. Charged maintenance fees that ultimately closed my account (2/10/26), which was supposed to be refunded by them months before (12/25). My tax refund was set to deposit days after... Also, when I found out my original account was closed, I opened another one the same day while I was on the phone with Truist, and they closed it "due to fraud" days later. But guess what? They sent a $25 gift card to basically say, "You know what, we did effup."

    Truist’s 'ambassadors' are clearly not trained professionals—they specialize in meaningless rebuttals and extracurricular excuses rather than actual banking. Out of the dozens of people I’ve spoken to, only two actually tried to help… Their failure to resolve a minor fee error resulted in an erroneous account closure, which has now caused the rejection of my taxes. They admitted fault with a $25 credit but still closed my account. Unprofessional, unreliable, and completely apathetic to the lives of their customers. This is not just poor service; it is financial negligence. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

    I worked with Jared ** on my mortgage transaction and had a very concerning experience regarding lender credits and promises made but never given at closing. In writing, I was told that if I completed my mortgage application, a 1.5% lender credit would be registered for my loan. In an email, Jared stated that the 1.5% would be increased after application and that the reason it did not appear on that particular Loan Estimate was a technical limitation. After completing the application, I texted to confirm that the 1.5% was “locked in and guaranteed” now that the application was submitted. Jared responded that he was “moving to protect the 1.5%” for me.

    An early Loan Estimate reflected the 1.5% credit. At no point was I informed in writing that the credit was time-limited or subject to expiration. Approximately one month prior to closing, revised loan disclosures reduced the lender credit to 0.5%. I was later told the original 1.5% had “expired,” but there had been no prior written notice that it was expiring or had expired. Despite referencing the prior emails and text confirmations, the full 1.5% credit was not honored at closing. Mortgage disclosures and written representations are critical in financial transactions of this size. I encourage borrowers to carefully review every revised Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure to ensure previously represented credits remain intact.
