    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.

    They lowered my money market rate from nearly 4 percent (advertised as 4 percent but closer to 3.4 percent when I met with them) to a half of a percent with no notification in less than a year. They said they have the right to lower rates at any time - true, but when you lower a rate by that ridiculous amount - I have the right to remove my money and find an equitable rate elsewhere. So upsetting! Bye Bye.

    Excellent response by AHMAD to my request to transfer a certificate of deposit that was maturing, to my checking account, in a very timely manner. This was completed by phone, as I was out-of-state, and when I called the bank, AHMAD replied, knew who I was, and he knew what questions to ask. THANK YOU!

    Customer shamed receiving a letter that Truist was taking away our special client privileges because we did not have enough money with them. Two weeks before the letter arrived, we had deposited $800,000 into the bank. Great communication among the staff at truist. Chase Bank now has our money.

    I am in the process of trying to speak with a Truist representative to discuss some fees on my account. I've called the number that they supplied to me by email. They also listed a specific person for me to speak with. I've called and left a message twice during the past 3 days. So far, no one has returned my call. I will attempt to reach someone by phone once more before submitting documentation. So far, I have to rate them at 1 star due to the lack of responsiveness. However, my overall opinion may change depending on the final outcome.

    Without question, Truist is the worst bank I have ever dealt with. I can look back at over 50 years of personal and business banking. I was a customer of BB&T Bank when Truist bought them out. Truist immediately fired all of the very professional tellers and replaced them with a parade of McDonalds counter rejects. No, I don’t want fries with my banking receipt.

    A short time after the takeover, they closed our local branch. Now we have to go down town to do all of our banking. This is a real inconvenience. Furthermore, not a single employee has ever called me by my name at Truist. As a long-time respected business owner, this is very strange to me. I used to know my bankers by their first names. Today, I am something less than an account number to them.

    Every trip to the "bank" is either an unwanted annoyance or a total nightmare. There are rarely more than two tellers available inside the bank. They are constantly shuffling between the drive-thru window and the customer counter. A long wait in line is the normal every day confrontation at Trust. I have never seen a smile on any face at Truist, not an employee’s face or customer’s face. Everyone looks like they are waiting for the grim reaper to come a put them out of their misery.

    I have also had many problems with Truist’s on-line banking. Countless calls to their internet “experts” have NEVER provided a single solution. I got a teenage neighborhood kid to resolve the issues. It only took a few minutes (not the many, many dreaded hours on the phone) and the problems are completely resolved. Truist’s best tech people have NEVER provided any answers or solutions to any of my problems. I only recommend this bank to people who feel that their life has been way too easy … you know, the kind of person who needs to be abused, mistreated and insulted in order to feel better about themselves. Otherwise, never enter a Truist Bank. It’s not worth the horrible sub-human experience!

    Horrible bank!!!! Unprofessional team and ignorant service by bank and its staff! Don't work with this bank if you don't want get stressed every time you deposit money. No matter how much you deposit, TRUIST will always find it suspicious! I deposited my paycheck 3 days ago before 5 pm. Of course of course TRUIST held it that time and the message said if not today then the next business day you will get your money, well I have been waiting for 3 days for that check- for my salary and guess what? I call them and they say, Truist got confidential information about your check and will hold it 10 more days!!!!

    TRUIST IS A BIG FRAUD ITSELF!!! We have 3 accounts in this bank and one is business, but today decided to close all 3! I explained my situation, said I need to get my money, release the hold and the supervisor's vision was only enough to say I apologize - and zero help! I am so much upset with this bank, its staff and service! No customer support, or understanding! This bank is FRAUD! I wish I could put them 0 zero!

    Horrible experience, poor communication, faulty fraud protection - they protect themselves and throw the customer under the bus, poor policies regarding handling of accounts following a fraud alert, hide behind "policy at other department" and scapegoating. They lost $2200 of my handicapped daughter's SSI payment and life savings, found the error the next day, but it will take weeks (and finding a new bank) to get any money to her for bills and Christmas.

    On May 15th, 2025, a hacker managed to break in to my checking, savings and credit card, emptying the first and second and taking two cash advances for approximately $1500 from my credit card, as well as breaking into my 401K and attempting to transfer money when Truist finally woke up and stopped it. I was able to retain the 401K transfer and Truist replaced the moneys in the savings and checking accounts, but refused to replace the money stolen from the credit card, falsely claiming them to be legitimate transactions. After numerous conversations with several parties at Truist they have yet to make good on this and now won’t return any of our calls. This is in direct conflict with the federal fair credit act which is supposed to protect consumers from credit fraud.

    My father is in the hospital and I have power of attorney. They have made it unbelievably difficult to exercise that power of attorney and require me to be physically at a bank to do most transactions. The half baked digital login I have doesn’t grant me access to all accounts nor does it give me access to payees. They won’t answer questions over the phone either, even after having the POA reviewed and approved by legal.

    I made a claim with them over a transaction actually several transactions and all because I didn’t catch a letter that told me I needed to give them documents. They not only did they deny it but when I went, I found out what happened. I called them to give them the documents and they still tell me it’s ineligible to Look at it again. I got screwed out all that money. I got done dirty by the person who took the money. I figured Truist had my back but no. Then Wells Fargo saying that because I didn’t respond to the letter one letter but I didn’t even see. That’s the reason why I can’t redo the claim. How bogus is that? I really like y’all as a bank, but this really blows my mind because I can’t get ahold of the merchant that you said I need to deal with the merchant. They won’t respond to me. How am I supposed to do that? Really couldn’t afford to lose that money, especially considering that I didn’t give them permission to take it out.

    I have had a business account for 4 years. I had to have an engine replaced in my truck. I had more than enough money to cover the cost. Asked for a loan nowhere near the cost of the repair. Got denied a loan. Was told they sent an email which I never received. Definitely gonna take my business elsewhere. What’s the use of have a bank that doesn’t have your back.

    We needed to refinance our current mortgage with cash out to pay off our credit card debts. We're retired on a fixed income, so once the zero APR ran out, we couldn't keep up with the standard APR's high interest rate. Luckily, we have built up a good amount of equity. We’re fortunate to have Stacy ** and Nicholas ** assisted us with this refinance. We’re impressed with their professionalism, performance, personable nature and empathy.

    Unbelievable response to my account being hacked. Truist initiated an investigation WITHOUT my consent or knowledge because my other bank account (different bank) was hacked. These accounts were connected and although I appreciate the caution, I need my money. They froze the account, no access to MY money until the investigation is over.... weeks or months... and they will not let me take my money out or close the account. After a day of bank visits and phone calls to Truist, they informed me I was no longer welcome to bank at Truist Bank. This is their solution, throw me out and mail my funds in 7-10 business days. Unconscionable.

    Sure here’s a review… you’ll never get good quality customer service, either in person at a local branch or on their phone lines. Walk-in customers are treated like they don’t matter, or like they are stupid. I walked in to ask about bill paying for my landlord and they somehow couldn’t be bothered to take a minute to help explain it. I guess I wasn’t judged worthy of their time and effort… Went home and managed to figure out my issue on my own, they should hire me. Their app doesn’t work half of the time, it glitches, doesn’t show accurate up-to-date amounts, or worse yet, the mobile deposit process is a shitshow. Was so frustrated I went to them and closed my accounts. Save yourself time and money and go ANYwhere else!!!

    I used to be an employee of BB&T, one of the foundation banks in forming Truist, so I have a good understanding of what banks and banking is all about. The basics have not changed. I would be embarrassed to say I work for this bank! Savings interest rates are low. They do little to offer convenience to the customer.

    Most recently they refused a SIGNED AND NOTARIZED request to transfer funds FROM their bank to my new investment company and now no one wants to accept responsibility for this action. BTW my account now shows a zero balance. Four days have passed and I am still waiting for some answers as to where my money has gone.

    My investment banker quit or has been fired and no one notified me. I learned this by my sending him an email and receiving the notice no such email exists. I have an annuity coming due in October. What a mess this would be for me if I was not proactive in taking care of my account? Most employees I have met are young and very inexperienced: surely a frustration for a customer who needs help and no one has wisdom and experience beyond the teller line. It's the poorest excuse for a bank that I have seen in a long while. I can not wait until I can progressively move all of my accounts! It is so bad I may even refinance my mortgage just to get away from the nonsense.

    When teller called me to her window, she won't stop gossiping with another teller that was at the end. When transaction was done in getting my cash from the cubicle and accidentally slammed, that teller at the end said while talking to her colleagues "don't be slamming at the door." I thought that was normal for it to close by itself that way. I did apologize with a smile as I leave the bank. Teller must've not realized I heard what she said!
