    Previously BB&T Bank, which was a good fit for personal and business, Truist comes in as a new bank but with a lot of issues, from customer service to online baking to in-person banking. Not once I've been transferred 5, 6 even 7 times when calling about an issue. I am working on personal banking and also on commercial and business accounts as an Administrator. It is a nightmare since the merger from BB&T to Truist. The online banking and management is very confusing and not efficient. In-person banking at the branch close to our office is always short on staff, they do a lot of mistakes, very inefficient.

    Absolutely the worst bank ever. I deposited a check online as my initial deposit. They held it for 7 days because it looked suspicious. They had closed my account because I hadn’t deposited it in time but they still accept my check into my closed account. I now have to jump through hoops to get my money back from them I deposited into a closed account.

    I opened a checking, savings, CD accounts and a business acct. with Truist. Elem the mgr at Springfield decided to order a check kit for $148 without asking and sent it to wrong address. It has been over 2 months, the man hasn't returned checks and she will not do anything about the situation. She suggested I go through the trouble of closing the acct. and reopening but will not return my calls or deal with the matter. Now I have to file reports with the BBB, SCC and more because of her foolish judgement. This is the worst banking experience I have had in years.

    Banked with BB&T now Truist and have an auto loan through them. Wife made a split payment so they decided to apply it how they saw fit and not to my current month's payment. Now they say I am behind by over 800 dollars. We go to a branch and pay it and at the same time the auto loan division TOOK the money from my checking. How is this legal? And they gave me a bad mark on my credit report, wouldn’t reapply my original payment and now giving me a hard time refusing me the 800 plus they took, Never again will I bank with them. I’m pulling all of my accounts.

    I use Truist for checking. Might be changing though. Will never go to for a loan or credit card. Must have to make 100,000 a year to be able for them to even think about accepting a person for one. I see why Truist has such a low number of stars. I guess 800 credit score isn't good enough for them.

    This has to be the worst financial institution in the US. They prevent customers from submitting and kind of complaint. You must always go through their offshore call center (Philippines?) who can’t speak recognizable English or Spanish. And always either don’t know how to address an issue or aren’t allowed to. They throw up barriers to even the simplest, most basic task like a customer updating personal information. They flat out, simply refuse to allow me to up update info through their mobile app or website. When I try online help, they say I have to call, then their off-shore call center agents insist I must visit a local branch in person. Local branches say they are all understaffed and so they expect customers to set an appointment before visiting. That involves a two week delay. Ask a 100% disabled US veteran I have to ask, isn’t all this illegal? It should be!

    If you care about your heirs, you should not trust Truist to fulfill their legal financial obligations on any sort of timely basis. My brothers and I have been struggling to close a trust account held by Truist from our father for almost TWO YEARS. From backups in one department or another, glitchy email, or lost paperwork, there has been a constant barrage of excuses for non-action and insincere thank yous for our continued patience. We ran out of patience over a year ago and still they continue to hold onto our father's investments while the economy tanks. You should never ever do business with Truist Trust department. They are completely unresponsive and infuriating to try to deal with. Avoid at all cost.

    Review of Truist Bank: Disappointed by Lack of Accountability and Transparency. I’ve never written a negative review of a bank before, but my recent experience with Truist has been extremely frustrating and unacceptable. On March 27, 2025, I deposited funds into my Truist account. The next day, I used Zelle to send those funds out. Then, on March 31, the same amount was somehow made available in my account again — and I was able to send that exact amount a second time using Zelle. That transaction wouldn’t have been possible if the funds weren’t there.

    Now, I’m being charged the amount deposited as if I overdrafted or mismanaged my account — which I absolutely did not. I’ve contacted Truist multiple times, and not one representative has been able to provide a clear explanation. One even claimed there was no record of the funds being available again, essentially implying that I imagined it. This made me feel like I was being treated as if I was crazy just for pointing out facts clearly shown in my account activity. It’s clear that there was some kind of internal system error, but instead of taking ownership, Truist has shown a complete lack of accountability.

    There has been no transparency, no resolution, and no corrective action whatsoever. I’m left dealing with a charge that I should not be responsible for — all because the bank refuses to acknowledge a mistake on their end. This isn’t just disappointing — it’s unacceptable. Customers shouldn’t be punished for system glitches, and they certainly shouldn’t have to fight just to be heard and taken seriously. Truist has lost my trust through the way they’ve handled this situation.

    I opened a business checking and savings account with Truist on March 31st. First, they messed up Zelle integration, which took a 55-minute call to resolve. Then they locked me out of my account this morning (Sat, 4/5/25) without notice, claiming fraudulent activity. I only found out because I was trying to log in to the account to fund it. The account has no money in it. And the fraud department is closed on the weekend. That's not good at all. They told me I have to come into a local branch to solve the issue. I live in Brooklyn, NY. There is no local branch. They are telling me that's the only way to fix it. I requested they close the account. They told me they can't do that because it's under a fraud investigation. I have to come into the branch.

    They don't contact you to let you know of any suspicious activity on your account. No text. No email. No call. Unless you randomly check or try to log in for something, you'll never know your account is locked. You will still receive balance updates though. Mine says $0.00. It seems like I'm just going to have to let it close by itself for not funding the account. This bank is terrible.

    As a business owner, I was shocked to discover that my employees are charged $8 to cash checks from my company. Considering how much money I deposit into your bank, this policy seems unfair. Whether they have an account or not shouldn't matter since I do, and the checks are issued by your bank. Additionally, charging $10 for a cashier's check feels excessive. These fees seem like unnecessary charges to your customers, and my guess is that these fees contribute to CEO bonuses and raises. As a result, I'm closing two personal accounts and my business account. To others, beware of banks with such practices—this isn't right.

    My experience with the closing process and ongoing administration of my mortgage account has been extremely negative. The issues began with a new loan representative handling his first Truist mortgage loan closing. The process was disorganized and far more stressful than my six previous home purchases with various financial institutions. Ultimately, the process concluded with late funding to our closing, which was both unprofessional and embarrassing.

    The challenges did not end there. The ongoing administration of my escrow account has been equally frustrating, particularly with the monthly payment changes for 2024 in August 1 and November 1, and now January 1, 2025. Each payment from escrow during the year resulted in a shortage in my account. Truist would cover the deficit and then increase my monthly payment—without offering the option to pay the shortage upfront.

    To make matters worse, Truist and Freddie Mac are using my funds for investments while I am left navigating this disorganized process with paperwork coming through snail mail. Here’s a snapshot of the escalating payments: Initial monthly payment: ~$2,331 (after recast at the end of 2023). Adjusted monthly payments: $2,416 → $2,561 → $2,694.

    For the past two weeks, I have been trying to close my escrow account to manage my tax and insurance payments directly. However, this process has been unnecessarily complex and inefficient:

    1. Receive shortage notice and Pay (5 days).
    2. Wait for Truist to process the payment and acknowledge it (5 days).
    3. Receive a waiver via snail mail (5 days).
    4. Return the signed waiver by mail (5 days).
    5. Wait for escrow to review and approve the waiver (up to 20 days).
    6. Truist schedules the escrow account closure (up to 10 days).
    7. Receive escrow account closure notice (5 days)

    8. Escrow account is finally closed, but not before another escrow payment becomes due, potentially reopening the account and restarting the cycle or pay late charges and receive credit score hit.

    The inefficiencies and lack of options for managing shortages have been maddening, unacceptable, and legally questionable. I urge Truist to address this matter promptly and provide a resolution to prevent further frustration.

    Truist is giving me issues with a fraud claim. Purchased merchandise over two months ago and the vendor does not respond to emails closed my access to the shopping cart on their site and will not refund my money. The merchant is also not responding to Truist request to refund my money. therefore this is not a dispute but fraud. Truist is trying to say this is a dispute and is not refunding my money in a timely manner. They flat out stole my money so tell me how that is a dispute and not fraud. $152 may not be a lot of money to a lot of people, but it’s a whole lot of money to me and I need my money back.

    I'd give a zero if I could. Both females were rudely and came out verbally attacking my sister and I. Because I stopped right in front of the atm. I was in the driver's seat of the vehicle, still in drive, my foot on the brake and my sister making a quick deposit (or tried to until a teller and manager started harassing us) at the atm. Haley beat on my SUV window and then put her hand in our faces. These two female employees were aggressive, rude and spoke down to three customers around 11 am on 12/27/2024. We have a witness that says we should push for litigation. We have filed with BBB, CFPB, and spoke with a magistrate.

    As a threat the branch manager Haley said she was going to handle my sister's account right then and wanted account numbers and names while standing outside of the bank. That to us was a threat to close my sister's account as well as putting her hands in our faces, asking if we could read and beating on my window after I'd pulled up and over as the first bank teller had rudely said to do. She and her colleague need to be fired for this behavior and I would suggest taking your business and personal accounts elsewhere. We are not the only people that have pulled up in front of the atm.

I have never went out of my way to make an official complaint before, however, I could not sleep thinking that some person would consider doing business with them.

    I would give them a -10 if I could, but I was not given that option. We have been with Suntrust for years and never had an issue. Then we had no choice but to switch to Truist. It has been a disaster. Their 'Bill Pay', which they say is owned by a third party, absolves them of responsibility for that company's fraudulent actions. Bill Pay decided to take two car payments instead of the one I authorized, and I even have a screenshot of the authorization approval number with the amount. There was no clear, definitive answer as to why they did that; they just said I would need to wait two business days to file a grievance and then another five-plus business days for them to reply and/or reimburse.

    It's the holidays, and they took my money by mistake, yet I'm the one who needs to be punished by waiting to maybe get the money back at all? With a click of a button they took the funds, but they cannot reimburse in the same way. At times, when I use bill pay, I will schedule a payment to be transferred electronically. For months they will transfer that way, then suddenly they decide to cut a check, making that payment a week or more late. No explanation for this unacceptable behavior, other than trying to say it's the decision of the company I am paying, which is ridiculous. Do not use Truist; we are not just running, we are flying to another bank. When you walk in to speak with a Customer Service Agent, there is one overwhelmed individual with five empty offices, handling all of the issues. So you just sit and wait. They have signs all over their offices bragging about customer service and how it is unwavering. What a total joke.

    Beware: if you let your Truist CD auto-renew at their "standard" renewal rate (currently posted at the Truist website at .05%, or 1/20th of 1 percent), you will allow Truist to keep almost all of the interest that should be going to you. In my case, if today's rates were to remain steady until my renewal date, Truist would get 98.9% of the $10,500 interest I should earn; instead I'll get just $117. Truist's notification letter told me that if I do not call in to make changes during my 10-day "grace period" starting the maturation date, the CD will auto-renew at their "standard" rate. So if you are too busy or trusting to call in and make a new deal, your auto-renewal will be for just 1 percent what you should get with a fair market rate (Truist would keep your other 99%).

    MATH. Anyone not up on their math might not instantly see that a published rate of .05% is a multiplier of .0005 of the principle, which is practically nothing (it's not 5% APY; it is 1/20th of 1% APY, which is hardly any interest). My numbers: for my 7-month term, if I can renew the $400,000 invested in my two CDs at the rates current on 11/21/24:
    -- Market @ 4.5%: $400,000 x (7/12) x .045 = $10,500

    -- Auto-renew @ .05%: $400,000 x (7/12) x .0005 = $116.67

    I wish I could rate this bank zero stars. After 30+ years at the same bank, we decided to open an account with Truist online. We transferred $50 from our current bank to Truist to open the account. Truist deposited our $50 and immediately closed the account due to "fraud". They sent us a debit card that obviously didn't work and a bank statement showing they charged us an "account maintenance fee" of $12. After a trip to a local branch (who was unable to tell us why the account was closed and refused to open a new account, but gave us the number to the fraud dept) and a phone call to the fraud department (after an hour on hold) who also could not tell us why the account was closed, we are still out $12.

    This bank does NOT care about their customers. I have 2 fraud claims I put in. One where I was the losing bidder in an auction, was charged for my losing bids, and received NOTHING from the vendor. The other where I purchased something, the vendor sent me effectively brochures where I can buy more of the thing I bought but NEVER sent me what I bought. Both vendors have gone radio silent and refused to return my funds. Truist upheld one by pointing out that the company offers a 50% restocking fee refund AGAIN on items I did not receive and they did NOT send me. The other they claim is irretrievable because though the vendor did not send me the item I paid for, they did have "all sales are final" on their website. So according to Truist in can sell you a brand new car, send you a flyer for a car dealership and nothing else; so long as I have "all sales are final" Truist will come to the conclusion the flyer is what you bought for $50,000.

    I have been a customer of Truist Bank for about three years and until recently, I thought my experience was decent. However, I’m incredibly frustrated with the way they’ve handled my car loan account #**. A few months ago, I noticed a balance on my account that was unexpectedly higher than my usual monthly payment. After reaching out to customer service, I was repeatedly told that my previous payment hadn’t cleared. It turns out I accidentally missed a payment in July 2022, but what infuriates me is that Truist Bank never bothered to notify me about it. Instead, I was blindsided by over $650 in monthly late fees.

    Despite my attempts to resolve this issue, the bank has shown a complete lack of concern or willingness to help. Their customer service is appalling, and it feels like they prioritize profit over their customers. I’m beyond disappointed with Truist Bank and their handling of my account.

    WARNING!! WARNING!! DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH TRUIST!!! GET OUT OF BANK NOW!! I was the best customer a bank could possible have. And in my 50 years of banking never once reported or complained on a review. I put out about 200+ resumes' looking for a remote WFH job. I got a check from what I thought was a legit company to buy equipment for my home office. I was skeptical about the company so I talked to a agent and after recurrence that opening a separate acct would safeguard my main acct where my SS & SSI checks are deposited a 10 day hold was placed and the company wanted me to use my funds 1st to buy the equipment from their site before the hold would be released. I called the issuing check. Found out it was fraudulent.

    I then called Truist immediately to make sure the acct would not be touched and to close that bad acct soon as that check came back.

Long story short...Hurricane Helene hit us and the bank closed all of my accts leaving me penniless during a state of emergency situation and said they would be returning my SS checks back to the government. It will take at least 30 days to receive anything from them to get my money back and I kept no cash on hand.

    Truist is an absolute nightmare. Their customer service is complete trash. Adam was today's Truist "representative" that was completely unhelpful and ignorant. I am always respectful even when frustrated- so I was very confused as to why he was being so rude to me during our brief interaction. Due to his attitude, I politely asked him if I could speak to another representative or manager and I was told "You can hang up and call back in". That is no joke. I was told I could call back into the automated line and wait for another representative instead of being transferred. Customer service is extremely important for ANY business so for your own sake stay clear of this company if you can.

    I went to a break to make a ATM deposit one Sunday morning. I used my Truist bank card and did the prompts for a deposit. I placed a large amount of cash into the ATM when the slot opened. The ATM prompted on the screen please wait while getting deposit ready. I was in front of the ATM for a considerable amount of time. Anywhere from 5-10 minutes it felt like but not 100% sure but definitely 5 minutes. Another car pulled up behind me and I thought I may have jammed the ATM. I then pulled away and back around the Truist bank building. Took maybe 8-12 seconds to go around and pull behind the car that pulled up behind me. The passenger was out of the vehicle and standing by the ATM. She noticed the ATM screen had the prompt "Wait getting deposit ready." The passenger who was out by the ATM looked at me and shrugged and I shrugged back. She then proceeded to get back in the vehicle and drive off.

    I then pulled back up and waited again. For the amount of time this was taking. I pressed Cancel and the ATM did nothing. The ATM kept cycling internally and had the same prompt "wait getting deposit ready." I thought I may have jammed the ATM so I pulled away after 10-15 minutes it felt like. I called the main number and was advised not open Sunday. I reported first thing Monday to the Truist branch this happened at and called the Truist customer service line to report the issue. I was told a investigator would contact me and of course, no one ever did. I called numerous times during the entire process of filing a claim with Truist Claim# ** for a update or when a investigator would contact me for information for the claim. I even informed a Truist manager involved from the branch this happened at.

    After two weeks of me calling and trying to get a update or information regarding my claim. Truist denied my claim and closed the investigation. I called the customer support the day of and after the claim was denied. I now have had to file a police report regarding this issue with Truist ATM. I do understand I drove off during the transaction but the amount of time the ATM took to process the transaction was ridiculous. I literally thought the ATM was messed up or jammed because of the deposit. There's only two things that could have occurred. Number one someone pulled up and waited in front of the machine after I pulled away and took the money.

    Two the machine kicked the money out and no one was there and pulled it back into the ATM and the third party service company personal took it. That's pretty much it but as far as I'm concerned the Truist branded ATM in the Truist bank parking lot had my money when I pulled away. I've also advised numerous Truist customer support that a digital foot print and video from the ATM is available and needs to be reviewed. NOW WAITING FOR TRUIST TO LET ME KNOW WHERE I GO FROM HERE? The customer service has been terrible!

    I started with this bank when it was SunTrust but as Truist I've been upset at a lot of their practices. They charge $35 overdraft fees frequently despite the no overdraft statement they make. I recently deposited 3 checks into a Truist ATM over the weekend. Two of the checks were hand written checks from a personal account made out to me using my nick name "Tony" as opposed to me real name "Anthony" and the other was a U.S, Treasury Check made out to my full Government name, which I received from the Veteran's Administration as a disabled Veteran of the U.S. Army. Out of the 3 checks, Truist decides to place a 10 day hold on the US Treasury check. This delay in making my funds available created an immediate financial hardship for a disabled person who lives pay day to pay day.

    I called the bank at 844-487-8478 and after being placed on a 48 minute hold I was given a representative who could offer absolutely no assistance other than reading from a script and apologizing. No one human from the call center could help resolve the issue made by a computer, and they refuse to let you speak to a supervisor. The bank sent me an email lying as to why the funds were being delayed, saying "We have confidential information that indicates the check may be returned and may require an additional review."

    Page 33 of their Bank Service Agreement states that "US treasury checks are available for next day availability" yet Truist will not make the funds available and none of the bank representatives who I spoke to called could help me. Despite my account being in the positive, Truist stated that I have too many "overdraft fees" to clear the Government check by the next business day. It doesn't make sense and the policy need to be revisited.

    Another horrible experience with Truist today. They blocked my cell phone auto-payment, for no particular reason, which blocked my entire account. When I called, I got the usual incompetent and deeply stupid call center people in **. I had to borrow a friend's cell phone to call. I screamed at them not to block my account, but they did anyway. I had to drive r/t nearly two hours to a branch.

    The customer service staff member was very nice; she couldn't understand why the account was blocked and had to tell off the people on the other end of the call for randomly blocking the account. This took nearly an hour. I had already set up an account with a credit union and told her I'd gradually move my money to them because I am sick of Truist's incompetence. She gave me her direct phone number and said to call if I had any more problems. This is the third time that Truist has pulled this crap on me.

    Opened an account last week, was immediately given approval and access to fund. Funded the account with $2,000 from my bank account, and received an "Application Approved" email on Sunday. By Wednesday, my login information no longer worked on their website or app. They "close my account" due to "fraud" even though the only activity is my opening deposit. They won't give me an explanation. They never asked for additional information about my business (been in business 10+ years) and simply decided to terminate my relationship after taking my $2,000. I should note, Truist has NOT RETURNED MY DEPOSIT of $2000. So they took my money, then closed my account. That is incredibly shady and probably illegal.

    The lack of explanation for closure is bizarre, and also shady. How can there be any indicator of fraud if the only thing that happened was a customer with a perfect credit score signed up for an account, funded the account, and then did nothing else for 3 days until it was mysteriously closed. No explanation whatsoever -- just Truist stealing my money (or rather, TAKING my money, and NOT returning it to me, however you want to classify that). Super bizarre and I highly recommend you avoid this bank AT ALL COSTS.

    My father was targeted in a scam where the scammer hacked our joint accounts at Truist and attempted to withdraw nearly $20,000. Fortunately my father went directly to his local Truist branch, where the relationship banker immediately closed all of our accounts. Two Zelle transactions were in the midst of going through when she stopped them with the account closing. I'm happy with Truist's fast response, but that may not have happened if my father hadn't gone directly to the branch just minutes before closing. Truist really needs to make Zelle an "opt-in" so that we customers have the ability to turn off Zelle transactions if we don't want to use Zelle. Zelle seems like an easy, open invitation to fraud, and customers should be able to prevent its use.

    I have never banked with Truist Bank before. Last month, I got an email from them stating that I opened an account with them. Being a Software Architect, I immediately suspected the email to be that of a phishing attack so I inspected the links (without clicking) and as well as the phone numbers in the email. Domain names and phone numbers all lined up. I contacted them that day to report the account as fraudulent and I was not permitted to report the fraud, inquire about the account details, nor close the account or manipulate/query the account in any manner, since I did not have a bank account number (their email didn't include a bank account either). So, I was essentially stuck.

    I called them multiple times and their automated phone service would eventually ask for the account number before it would let me proceed and ultimately, it would forcefully hang up on me. At one point, I was able to get a hold of an actual person, and they transferred me around - always when I was unable to provide a bank account number. So none of the information that was either provided to me by them nor that I could easily provide, such as ssn, address, etc. was acceptable. Only the synthetic information that this bank created was acceptable.

    Since the email came to my email address and the home address on file was correct, I would just monitor my credit report and leave this bank account penniless. Nothing appeared on my credit report but about a month after I tried to report this, I received a physical letter from Truist, stating that someone deposited a fraudulent check against this account, using their mobile banking platform, so they could circumvent any signature verification, I assume. The check went through, the fraudster withdrew it then the check was flagged. The check was said to have been written out by Bread ** of Washington D.C. in the amount of $3,871.82. Ultimately, Truist Bank's terrible protocol of only allowing a user to identify themselves using credentials they synthetically generate. Not having a more robust fraudulent check identification system and hiring people who are completely incompetent at their jobs, scores this company a 0 star rating from me.

    I will NOT pay this or any amount back to you, Truist Bank. You WILL pay any and all legal fees and further discrepancies against this account that arise and I will NOT remove this post until you clean up your mess. I have notified ** about your poor practices that have led to this fraud and I will continue to wipe your name from the bottom of my shoe across the infinite span of the world wide web until this is resolved and I receive an apology from you.

    You learn about a company in your dealings with them, not when everything is great but in a crisis. My wife was taken in by an employment scam, and lost $6500 through Zelle and PayPal. Zelle said "not our problem." PayPal said "seems like you benefitted." What? We processed two claims with Truist taking about two months, but they gave us $6500 of their money to get us back where we started, even though the terms of transfers via Zelle and PayPal say "make sure you know what you're doing, because you can't get it back." The reasons for a lot of the other 1-star reviews on here make me sad. "App was down" — it has to be sometimes for maintenance — or "took a long time to close my dispute" — they're dealing with thousands, not just yours. Maybe deal with it?

They said I would receive the 150$ back within 14 days and a letter of explanation of why the account was closed.

    Three weeks later I received eight letter - four letters telling me to go to a local branch and verify who I am to keep the accounts open and four letters telling me the account is closed. I went to a local branch in Fernandina Beach and spoke with the manager. The manager said the accounts were closed and nothing he could do and that I would receive the 150$ back in 14 days.

    It has been now 7 weeks and no letter or 150$ refunded back.

This review is not about any one person; it is about the system, about this corporation as a whole. This is about my experience and the failures of this institution. I opened an account. They flagged it for fraud. They held my hard-earned monies without any timely notification. They did not call me. They sent a letter via regular mail. Imagine my surprise when I go to my account and see that it was blocked prior to me receiving the written notification. I call and wait a lengthy amount of time to get anyone to help me. I am finally notified that it is on hold for fraud. No reasons are given. I am only told to wait the required amount of time for them to investigate and call after 7 days.

    At no point, even after the 7 days, did anyone call me to give me any reasons. They gave me no updates or communication. I had to call. I had to escalate the situation, no real help was offered. Any help or progress I made was because I called every day, because I did my due diligence to advocate for myself.

    To cut to the end...they find there was no fraud, because I provided documentation proving so. Did they apologize for the mistake? No. They say they will return my funds to me via mailing me a check. Take into account that it has now been 2 weeks. I fight to get them to release the funds for withdrawal at the branch. I show up at the branch and there is no money. They mailed the check anyway, regardless of all the work I put in to get them to authorize it and they sent it via regular mail.

    There is no authority figure here that can step in on your behalf to be your advocate. You have long waits on the phone when waiting for a supervisor at the call center. No one talks to each other, they simply read notes. Good luck getting them to write any appropriate notes. What does it matter even if there are notes? They obviously don't read them. They have no direct lines. You won't talk to the same person twice. They talk to each other via chats and have to wait lengthy amount of time to get a response.

    It's all fine and good when you go in daily to make easy transactions. The true test of a bank comes when a customer encounters an issue. Can they resolve it easily? Do they step in to help? Do they go above and beyond? Do they communicate with the client? On all points, they have shown an inability to satisfy. This system is a useless infrastructure that should not be in business.

Tried selling my car and having the dealership contact them for payoff info - the dealer sat on the phone for over an hour and actually had to wait to contact them the next day. They then said they could not provide the payoff information via email or fax because they had to send it "certified mail" and THEN told them my account (which is 3 months ahead) was in "poor standing."

    I scraped together the cash and paid off the car (which I had to do over the phone because the automated payoff tool kept crashing) and was told that it would take 7 BUSINESS DAYS to "verify the payment" and close my account, at which point it would take another 7-10 business days for me to receive the title to my car.

They held the money hostage unless coughed up wire transfer fees (or could withdraw tiny amounts each week). Contacted Truist Investment Services 11/8 and told them to take the Required Minimum Distribution from her IRA and put it into her Truist checking account. Never got a 1099-R, so called yesterday. Turns out that yes, they sold funds on 11/15 to cover the distribution, but they also charged a $10 fee on the sale, so they did not have enough cash on hand to make the distribution. Instead of informing me of their error, they sold funds on 11/20 to cover there fee and never made the distribution.

    Their response? The agent who walked me through this told me I will need to ask the IRS to forgive the penalty but there was nothing they would do. I asked to speak to a manager, but did not hear back. When I was in the branch trying to close the accounts, noticed all these nicely done posters about Truist being a place for people to not only bank, but to get educated about savings.

I explained the situation again to Andrew, he spent the next 30 minutes on the phone with me. He was supposed to look up if there was a record of an account or loan application made in my name. He told me that Truist wouldn't have this information - which I pushed back because it was Truist who sent me the letter - so they had to have some record of me. He then said he was looking for the right number to get me to their Auto branch and said he was putting me on hold for a few minutes.

    Notice my surprise again, when I was transferred without my knowledge - and transferred to a phone tree automated line. I'm now waiting an additional 15 minutes for a new agent, where I will have to explain this situation all over again. First, let your customers (or non customers like myself) know if they are being transferred. And please don't send them back in an endless queue line without instructions on how to navigate the phone tree.

    Absolutely horrendous experience. I opened an account and did not have the account number. I assumed a debit card would be arriving however. They do not mail debit card out and you have to request it. So I went to the bank and they gave me a temporary debit card and called my phone to set up a pin. It was at that time that I realized my funds had transferred but I had no way of knowing because I didn’t have the account number. So I couldn’t create an online account. Then once I get the temporary debit card I get locked out of my account while creating it. This was not due to my error. So I call the number again and the CSR in ** has no idea what I’m saying. Then I get transferred to an ** and he says my phone number isn’t associated with my account.

    The same number they had called less than hour earlier to create my pin. I call and my account is now locked for 24 hrs. They cannot transfer any money. They cannot create the online account. So they have my money and cannot move it to PayPal. None of this was explained when creating the account. Horrendous experience. I’m floored this is a billion-dollar company that swallowed up the smaller banks. After looking at reviews I realized that I am not alone in having an ABHORENT experience with this company.

    We have been with this bank for over 20 years. We started with them when they were Sunbank, then Suntrust and now Truist. A fraudulent company pulled $300. out of our account without authorization. We had to close our account and open a new one. Truist denied our claim but could not produce a document proving our authorization. How can we be comfortable knowing the bank would allow this again? They refused to do anything about it and did not care when we said we would leave the bank. This is a terrible bank that does not care about their customers. They are willing to lose a customer over $300. It is a hassle to change banks, but it is necessary for our security. Please do not bank here for your own peace of mind.

    I’m not going to stop leaving negative reviews about this bank anywhere I can. This bank shows the account hold is in good standing and then suddenly shows that your account is in overdraft to charge you an overdraft fee but not give you the day to bring your account to a positive status. Went to bed 12/11/23 and my account said there was money in it. I woke up 12/12/23 and I’m in draft and immediately assessed and overdraft fee. Same happened on 12/22/23. When I go to bed my account is in good standing. When I wake up I’m in the red and have an overdraft fee. They are purposely delaying transactions on my account so I can think my account is in good standing the whole day and then apply the transactions so they can asses an overdraft fee without giving me any notice to go make a deposit at the bank.

    I wonder how many people they have done this two. They got me for $72 this month if they did that to 1000 other people that’s an easy $72,000 but I’m working on pursuing this matter legally because Wells Fargo had a class action against them before. I’m sure we are head on that same track with TRUIST. Called a customer service representative and she acts like there isn’t anything they can do to explain why they delay the posted transactions. She even said the bank doesn’t control this. So who controls it?

I called the bank, they stated the card was decline because my old card was used. I checked my account and noticed I had something on auto pay with that debit card. There was a transaction on 11/30/23 that went through on the card so they canceled the temporary card. I went into the bank the next day to make an over the counter withdrawal because I can't go to the ATM!! I then asked for a replacement card.

    This is the absolute worst banking experience I've ever had. As soon as my issues with them are resolved im leaving this bank with a quickness that's impossible to measure. Customer service is ATROCIOUS. The managers have zero clue how to do their jobs or assist with issues over the phone. Incredibly rude and uneducated on the capabilities of their role. I'll tell my story, very briefly, I'll be leaving a lot of minor details out, just going to hash over the important points.

    I've been with Truist for around 6-7 months. It's a personal spending account, that's it. No bills, no loans, nothing. It's an account I use to buy my daily red bulls essentially. I deposited a check for 3700 (from a 401K partial withdraw) into this account, was told the check needed to go under review, and it would take 7 business days. No issue, don't need the money immediately, it's just there for emergency funds because we had several things happen back to back that drained our savings accounts. What Truist DID NOT TELL ME, is that the review placed my ENTIRE ACCOUNT on lockdown. I cannot access the money that is already in there, can't swipe my card, can't even log into the app. So I call, they explain (horribly I might add) why I can't access my account. I asked to have the check canceled, it's now canceled and I still have no access to my account.

    It's been 2 weeks I haven't been able to use MMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY money. They won't let me withdraw the funds that were already in the account, won't let me move the funds to a different account. The several hundred dollars that are in that account I have zero access to, because I....deposited a check. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. What kind of bank is ran like this? It's absolutely horrible and the fact I've sat on the phone for HOURS with their employees making it out to be like I'M THE ONE that's crazy. This is truly unreal, this entire situation.

    I've never in my life dealt with this kind of thing before or even heard of it and every person you speak to on that line will treat you like it's all your fault "it's in the policy" blah, blah. I've been hung up on several times (my own fault, I'll add. I've gotten pretty heated with them a few times) because this is past the point of being professional about it, they are literally withholding me from my own money, money that I ENTRUSTED THEM WITH. Again, there are no bills, no loans. Nothing. It's a personal spending account. What in the good name of the lord could y'all possibly be reviewing for 2 WEEKS!!!

    Anyway. I'm done with this place. Please lord don't make the mistake and sign up for them like I did. This company will not be in business in the very near future if they keep doing things like this. My account with 1st advantage is already set up and like I said, as soon as all this gets resolved and I can actually touch MY MONEY (can't emphasize enough how they're literally telling me I can't access MY MONEY. IT'S MINE) again, everythings getting transferred over to them so expeditiously and I'll make it my life's mission to make sure nobody I personally knows ever even considers banking with this institution ever again.

    From my personal experience, Truist Bank is the worst financial institution in the country. I was a customer of SunTrust for over 20 years when I decided to move most of my accounts to a new bank with the merger of SunTrust and BB&T. I was set up since the year 2000 with ‘mail only’ correspondence. I had a $65 bill in Dec of 2022 that was supposedly late. Out of nowhere Truist claims that my bill was ‘delinquent’ without notice or a phone call. I found out because of a Credit Alert that was sent by Capital One and Truist itself. I paid the bill within 2 hours of being notified. I was traveling out of state at the time for the Holidays. After many mailings, conversations and pleading with personnel at Truist and many promises that the problem would be corrected nothing was corrected in my records. Truist personnel apologized profusely in every conversation.

    My Credit Score that had averaged 830 for the past 10 years dropped by 100 points. I appealed to Experian, Equifax and Transunion. Truist refused to back off on their ‘delinquent’ allegations. I did eventually emailed Steve Fisher – Regional President of Central Florida at Truist. He surprisingly contacted me immediately. He apologized in behalf of Truist for my troubles and advised me to go to my local branch in Winter Garden, Fl. FINALLY…I was getting some movement from Truist. I scheduled a meeting with the GM of the branch Alex ** for May 5th, 2022. The day before I dropped off information with Reid (her assistant) that pertained to my problem with what Truist was reporting.

    Alex D** called me later that day to tell me that there was no reason to meet with me because I was wrong. She stated that she didn’t know who Steve Fisher was and that she could care less of what he thought! She did not report to him and he was a ‘nobody’ in her eyes. I kept my cool and told her the real problems I was facing credit-wise because of Truist mistake. She didn’t care and even screamed out ‘Whaaa, Whaaa Whaaa!!!’ Mocking me for even bringing up the matter. I swear in my life I have never dealt with an individual that held such a responsible position to act so immaturely and disrespectful to a person who had been a customer of that location for 20+ years in good standing. Truist should be embarrassed to have someone like this working for their Company and how they have handled my entire matter. Keep in mind….this was over $65.!!

It wasn’t done and of course. I paid my electric bill and it was automatically rejected causing a $25.00 fee with the electric company. Truist CS looked into it and said it never got the account. I had to take a day off work to get my accounts sorted out. Why do you ask why I had to take a day off BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WEEKEND HOURS, another pain in the butt thumbs downer for this bank.

    After an hour of digging, we come to find the Rep had not linked the accounts and the payment had hit my account and been rejected. Truist said there were no fees assessed, I showed them my statement and they said there was nothing they could do. I had to ask for a Manager, she was almost as incompetent as the Reps. She said she would send me a gift card. After three months, several phone calls and emails it finally arrived. In the interim, I was told that if money was pulled over from my savings to my checking to cover a check, I would be charged a $12 fee AND I cannot do more than 5 transactions per month. THIS IS MY MONEY, HOW DARE YOU TELL ME HOW MANY TRANSFERS I CAN MAKE!!! There have been several other issues but is be here all day.

I told him I wanted very low risk as this economy was too volatile. I saw my account plunge. I called him and he told me to be patient and it would come back. After months of more losses, I decided to take it out. I requested the money be moved back to Truist.

When 3 months came around, I was told I didn’t adhere to the sun small print that they were so sneaky about. I wrote to the CEO William Rogers and never received a response. I believe the CFPB should look into their practices. I certainly do not think they are ethical.

    While helping my wife this afternoon, I attempted to make a small cash deposit into my 97year old mother in law's checking account using a preprinted deposit slip. The bank refused to accept stating I was not on her account. I've been banking for over 60 years and have never had a problem making a deposit of any kind much less with cash. As I challenged the teller she simply cut off the video feed at the drive through ending our conversation. I just returned home and announced I'll not be ever returning to a Truist Bank, she simply nodded her head agreeing they are not very nice.

    A sum of money was returned to my Truist visa card. I transferred this money to my checking account, since it was my money and not borrowed. My balance was 0. Truist charged me $10.00 for what they call an "overdraft fee." I explained to the representative, Janet, what happened and she refused to return the $10.00. She also refused to transfer the call to a manager and said any manager would refuse me as well. She said if I had contacted them within 24 hours of the event - it was 48 hours - they may have been able to issue an investigation about it but since it was day 2, I was out of luck. She kept citing "rules" about this and I said I was unaware of any such rules. She was arrogant and dismissive of me. I finally hung up on her since she refused to transfer me to a manager.

    I'd give it 0 or negative stars if I could. Got an email from Truist Bank for a bonus offer if I opened a checking account with them and made direct deposits from my employer over a certain dollar amount & the bonus was $400. I called Truist Bank several times, but no answer, so I drove to the bank & was met Sonia who immediately told me they'd be closing in 15 minutes. She was annoyed to help me and it was clear. Then I opened up the email I had received and also showed her the promotion code as well.

    She read the email and looked at the promo code and stated she wrote it down & little did I know, she started the process and put in another code that she claimed was the same thing. Turns out, had she put in the promo code I had in the email, it would have shown that it was for opening an online bank account only. So, two days later she calls me and tells me that I didn't qualify for the promo because not only did she enter the wrong promo, but the promo I had in the email, was for online only & since she already set up an account, I'm no longer a new customer and do not qualify for the $400 bonus.

    You wanna talk about straight up fraud and negligence. The case has been escalated and if they do not honor the promo that Soia screwed up, I will make sure everyone knows to avoid Truist Bank. This is shady ** that Sonia pulled. They need to honor the promo she screwed up! Allegedly the complaint dept. is handling it, according to the branch manager that did nothing. They should honor the promo and be done. They screwed it up not me. Make it right #TruistBankOcalaFlorida

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS BANK!!! I recently had an unsatisfactory experience while opening a checking account with this bank. I would like to share my story to help others make an informed decision. I recently encountered multiple issues while opening a checking account with Truist Bank online. Initially, when attempting to create an online account, I encountered technical difficulties that caused the screen to freeze. After repeatedly clicking the button, I was blocked from accessing my account. To verify my identity, the bank requested that they send me a text message, but they were unable to use the number provided as it was registered under a business account. Despite explaining the situation, the issue persisted until I provided a different phone number.

    Unfortunately, my issues did not end there. When I attempted to log in to set up direct deposit, I received a notification that my account was blocked due to fraudulent activity. I was directed to visit a branch for further assistance, where I was informed that I had two accounts that were closed without explanation. The branch representative instructed me to wait for ten days before calling to request the return of my funds. While I understand the importance of security measures, I find the handling of my situation by Truist Bank to be unacceptable. If the bank closes my account, I expect to receive my funds immediately. Waiting for ten days to request the return of my funds is unacceptable. I would like to caution others who are considering banking with Truist Bank to be mindful of my experience. They don't even deserve my 1 star.

    I have banked with SunTrust for years as I got the account as a college student. When the bank merged with BB&T to become Truist I was excited because I have heard decent things about BB&T. What a huge disappointment Truist has been. I even wanted to give time for them to sort things out, but if I wait any longer this bank will ruin me financially.

    I have been charged several overdraft fees since starting with Truist. I have two checking accounts that are linked. I keep all of my money in the secondary checking that does not have an associated debit card to protect my funds from fraud and other issues. So I only transfer as I need. These last few overdrafts have occurred because Truist will not post charges to my card until they know I am out of funds. I have watched a transaction pend for 4 days, purchased on a weekday (Thursday) and did not post until Tuesday morning showing as a "Monday" posting. Even before posting Truist showed my account indicating having enough funds to cover all charges. However other charges that were made based on the information shown in my account then puts my bank account into the negative.

    Even worse it overdrew by only $5. I have more than that to cover in my other account but refuse to setup overdraft protection because with SunTrust I always simply had my card decline when there are not enough funds. There was no need, Truist changed my account to not include this feature during the switch and then "politely" informed me they were switching it back to this feature. But that still does not matter if the funds are being held in stasis for no reason. Plus, I check my bank account religiously to see the balance. I do not always check the pending transactions because they normally post at the latest the next business day.

    This has happened several times in the last few months from getting gas to shopping at the grocery store where the bank will hold the charge for days. This is ridiculous and I have considered switching banks for months now. I cannot wait to switch. I have not had an overdraft since college until the merge. I also have never been the person to setup an account just to make a negative review but here I am. Truist is an absolutely horrible financial institution.

    Truist closed my account on 2/13/23 for fraud yet denied all the fraud on my account, then failed to notify while my account was open for 2 years that I had a collection on a 2017 account. Truist wait until my account was closed then they decide to tell me all the refunds that returned to my account from merchants were being sent back to merchants until the merchants supplied arn numbers so I researched. Truist had taken over $200 in refunds from a closed account and applied them to a 2017 BB&T account that was $-280 that I knew nothing about.

    Once they finally admit that they stole my refunds I needed to know what caused this 2017 account to have a $-280, Truist had the audacity to say they do not have a clue to what transaction caused 10... $36 prior day return fees and they refuse to remove the fees yet they do not have a transaction to support what caused these fees. They just have $280 in fees without a transaction yet this dumb bank refuse to refund or remove these fees and they caused me to lose a lot of money and they are taking it like they knew what they were. I have lost 3 disputes pertaining to this issue and they feel like they are so clever but in reality, they are using techniques that are banned and they are violating regulations and they don't care who cares.

    Updated on 03/17/2023: I have issues where Truist bank closed my account fraudulently. Been taking my refunds and applying them to a collection account that is not mine, they denied claims that should have been approved. They closed my account for fraud and denied all the fraudulent activity that was on the account, told me it was a executive decision to cancel the account after account manager called me to sign a document to switch to another account, at least I thought, instead he canceled my account from my own signature, thinking I was just switching accounts, scammed me into closing my account.

    Was upset then I thought, "Fine. I find another account," which closed with a signature on 2/13, during the next 3 weeks was told by merchants refunds were being refunded and were being accepted into my Truist account that was closed. Truist agents and the local bank would tell me they were sending the refunds back to the merchants or they would be sending a check to me, a month later after hundreds of calls and text to different merchants including international merchants Truist finally confess and tell me they have the refund and collections have them.

    After 3 weeks of lies they have my funds in a collections account. Didn't know why cause I never had a account with Truist and I know they sent me a 16 dollar check when my account closed then I'm told they been applying my refunds to a old account from 2017. I tell them SC statute of limitation on debt and they ignore me. I tell them the account was closed and never had an account with them before. Now they claim I have a signature card that will justify me having a old BB&T account, this I gotta see, I check my email on 3/15/22 and they have sent me a copy of each of these signed documents. Nothing more on them lil info but I'm asking myself when did I sign this and as I start thinking harder I'm really thinking how can see when this document was created and would it tell me who created it, then I see that Adobe will tell me what I wanted to know so I then open the 2 files with Adobe Acrobat and look at the date.

    I found this document I so called signed in 2017 and the document that I so called signed in 2023, look at when they were actually created, both had my signature but one my signature wasn't touching the lines that I would normally go over and nothing was touching. It's like you could put a ruler under my name and draw a line. It was to straight but document was a fraudulent document. Both documents were created on 3/15/23 and they were both created by the same author. 2017 document was created on 3/15/2023 at 4:59 from Microsoft program that is used to create fraudulent pdf files and for the 2023 document which was created by the same author a few minute later.

    They fraudulently created fake documents to make it look like I signed for this old account attempting to match my signatures. They copy and pasted on a document to make me pay a collection that I should not be paying.... Banks are the new bank robbers. What I don't understand is their employees will help the bank achieve their goal yet the bank probably will not do the same for their employees.... but they created a fraudulent document.... to make me look like I had an old BB&T account and they need to correct this before they get corrected, also I put the screen on Truist Twitter page and also FTC Twitter page...

    Original Review: Bank CEOs, agents & supervisors rob us blind through lies & greed for their employer who won't who who are robbing the customers without a weapon & these agencies does nothing, Truist deny disputes customers should have won, cancel accounts and charge fees that they should be fined for charging, such as $36 declined purchase fees, which I thought were stopped, and other fees such as.

I set up my direct deposit at work and set up bills to be paid from the account. I received a notice from my payroll department advising the direct deposit was returned. I wasted 2 hours (mostly on hold) with Truist trying to understand what happened. Turns out they closed the account but they could not provide an actual reason. Cited that they can close an account at anytime without reason per whatever regulation. Sounds to me like Truist just doesn’t want to make good on their $400 promotion. Hook and bait?

I was told to contact customer service again. I did not. Instead, I went online and requested a debit card to replace the one I was waiting for.

Not to mention it takes 45 min to speak to a Supervisor. I recently had a check deposited to my account, it posted the next day, I called to pay my utilities bill and my card declined. I checked my account. The check was held for 8 days. Why does it take 8 days to verify a check????

    It took me 3 days to actually get ahold of a Supervisor who then just went into a whole spiel about a bunch of company jargon without taking a breath. Ultimately no help. Even after advising my utilities electricity/gas had been cut off due to this fiasco. She didn't even care. At that point it was a hard wait until 2/8. That was Saturday. By Tuesday day I noticed the date had changed to 2/9. Called in. They couldn't even explain to me why the date had changed. I should have just stuck with CHIME because I don't ever have any issues.

    I had to notify Truist Bank's Credit Card/Card member Services of (2) separate Credit Card disputes/and/or/chargebacks. One of the chargeback disputes pretty much resolved itself when the merchant finally got around to issuing the credit for the item, however the merchant issued the credit $12.00 short of what the total credit should have been so Truist's chargeback department had to contact the merchant over the $12.00 difference to try and get the money back from them. In the case of the 2nd chargeback dispute the merchant never issued credit for the item and so I had to forward all the necessary documents to Truist's chargeback department which included a written 3 page document and 2 pages of UPS/or/United Parcel Service Tracking documents showing that the merchant received the package that I "refused" back and signed for it but never processed a credit to my credit card account. It's like chargebacks 101.

    Truist's chargeback department never issued a "provisional credit" for this and the disputed amount remains part of my outstanding balance. As a person who occasionally likes to pay off their balance in full this chargeback makes it difficult because they did not issue the provisional credit to my account while the dispute is being investigated and I don't know the exact amount of the outstanding balance w/ interest charges to get the legit part of the balance paid in full. I have logged about 20 to 30 plus phone calls which include hang ups and being blindly transferred to various departments regarding the issuance of the provisional credit and still no coherent answer. Truist has their chargeback department in a foreign call center and the representatives simply don't know what they are doing or saying. They don't even understand how the chargeback processes works and how they pertain to the Visa/MC rules and regulations.

    It is sooo frustrating and aggravating. I've been calling for weeks now to get an answer and I'm not getting anywhere fast. I have informed them that I am going to try to get assistance from the local branch and if that fails I will take the necessary steps to contact the CFPB the government agency who overseas financial institutions and force them to respond, and this blemish and complaint will show up on their permanent record. The Truist Bank is just a mess. I am seriously considering just getting rid of the credit card altogether when this whole ordeal is over. As someone who worked in the credit card industry for 22 years before changing careers they get big 0 stars and I wouldn't even give them that if I could give them a negative score. My advice to people is to STAY AWAY FROM TRUIST BANK. PLEASE RUN RUN RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!

    Truist Bank (formerly SunTrust and BB&T) have predatory and illegal processes in place that will charge your account into the Hundreds of Dollars. They will show the customer one balance while having another, so if you see $50 in your account and withdrawal $40, they may charge you an overdraft fee. Note: They claim what I see reflects all posted AND pending items so it should be a true balance - it is NOT. They will NOT admit fault, they will play “3-Card Monty” with your numbers and justify their thievery. Lastly, they are held by the same conglomerate that own Wells Fargo, so choose wisely when picking a bank. After 40 years with the same account I am forced to leave banks.

    My father passed away. Death Certificates and Probate takes time. His debit card and identification were missing from his wallet when he arrived at the hospital. I live in a different state that does not have Truist banks. I traveled over 2100 miles to the state he lived in. I went to local branch after branch to report his card missing and hopefully freeze his account. They wouldn't take his name, account number, Social Security number, medical records or doctors' statements. They refused to help me because I wasn't a Truist Account Member and didn't have a POA or Probate Title to his account yet.

    After I removed my father's belongings from the house he had been renting, I had my father's mail forwarded to my home. Unaware until weeks later, when I returned to my home 2100+ miles away, I had received a notice in the mail from the bank. From his last address a debit card/pin was requested, luckily the notice stated Truist denied that request. A few weeks later I received my father's latest bank statement showing charges from debit cards, Cash App, Instacart, Walmart, Amazon, etc. How could this be when my father was hospitalized for almost 3 months prior to his death. My father was an elderly man that only used a flip phone, didn't use computers/tablets/smart phones and has no idea what the "internets" are?

    I tried to call the bank again to warn them of the fraud, but the rep wouldn't even take his name or account number to look into it. It took over 2 months of calling to finally get someone in the fraud department to just take a look at his account. After I told them the date of my father's intubation; they informed me that hundreds of transactions had occurred since my father's intubation date. In the middle of the rep giving me instructions on how to report the fraudulent charges, our call was disconnected. I called back to find once again they can no longer assist me because I don't have an account.

    It has been months that $100s of dollars are charged to his account every day over the internet. Over $15k has already been fraudulently charged because they would not listen or freeze this account. Til this day I still don't know if they have taken any action. Until I receive the Title to his account my hands are tied. Truist bank does not care to help or listen. I wonder if by next month's bank statement they will have let his account run dry. May my father's soul rest in peace without knowledge that he was victimized. I am grateful that he did not have to deal with this.

    I opened my first bank account with Suntrust (now Truist) a couple years before they merged. Christmas of 2020 my grandmother gave me a check to help cover my college costs at the time, I deposited the check and it looked like it just didn't go through for the first week, then out of nowhere I was locked out of my account. When I called to ask about it, after being on hold for over an hour, the woman who answered told me she couldn't give me a reason why, but that they were no longer willing to work with me, and that they would send my remaining balances of both my checking and savings account after holding it for 30 days. I didn't get those checks for six weeks, and because of that was completely without money that entire time.

    When I finally did get those checks, my savings account was missing exactly the amount of that check I was given- I called and asked about that and they told me I had to go in person to a branch, with the person who wrote the check and some paperwork in order for them to release the money. When we did get to that branch, they said they also couldn't do anything and to call corporate. I called these people consistently for several months, never waited any less than four hours on hold (three calls went on for almost eight whole hours) half the time the call would drop before I even talked to a person.

    After almost a full year of this I was told by a customer service rep. that I had to go to the branch I opened my account at, with my grandmother and the paperwork they wanted last time, to get special letterhead from the manager of that bank in order to do anything. The problem was that that branch had been closed since I moved out of that town, the building is gone, and I told him that. He literally said "I don't know what to tell you, then" and hung up on me. It's been almost two years and I still never got that money back, and neither did my grandmother.

I pulled into the drive thru had to wait 3 cars later… Finally I parked my vehicle in one line and had to stand outside in the next line in order to get waited on. After ok pulling off.. Never mind I had to wait for 30 min for one deposit… The teller skipped me and she apologized to the other customers for their terrible service… Unbelievable.

    I have had the Truist Small Business Credit Card for about a year now. When calling into their customer service no one knows what they are looking at and information is inconsistent. Not to mention each time I have been either hung up on or transferred blindly to another clueless department. Also, their account statement retrieval system is from the ice age. You will not be able to get your past transactions in excel form. My experience with this bank and this product has been horrid!! Run from these people!!!!

    I normally use online payments to pay my HOA but I decided to go to a nearby Truist bank to make my HOA payment. Upon arriving the line was long and there was only one teller working. There were two people working the drive thru window. After 10 minutes in line I decided to use the drive thru window since there was no one at the drive thru. When I gave the teller my HOA statement and my debit card she said I had to go inside and have a cash advance done since it was a debit card. I went back inside and now I'm at the end of the line. 30 minutes later I was next in line and the man working the teller window came from the drivethru window to help me. I explained that I simply wanted to pay my HOA fee using my debit card. The other lady working the drive thru window told me to come inside. She said I would need to make an ATM withdrawal. The ATM is outside in a drive up lane.

    The man said I could also pay with my credit card so I gave him my card to process the transaction. In total it took over an hour to make the payment. The female teller at the drive thru could have told me to withdraw the money from the ATM in the other lane or that I could use my credit card. The customers inside were obviously tired of waiting for the one window teller. The bank could have opened up additional tellers because there were more employees in the bank. I will refrain from using Truist for anything. I use autopay for my HOA now. Stay clear of Truist.

    1-Star review because there is no 0-star option. My SunTrust auto loan (serviced by BB&T) was transferred to Truist when there were about 5 payments remaining. All preceding payments were made to SunTrust (via BB&T) by auto-withdrawal. Truist chose to modify my loan contract by converting the final payment (payment 48 of 48) to pay-by-stub. I had no idea Truist was my loan servicer as I never received any correspondence from them, including the one that explained the payment change. It turns our Truist was sending all correspondence to the wrong address (my old address). When I moved, I had provided SunTrust with my address change that evidently never made it to BB&T who was servicing the auto loan, and where Truist got their incorrect address information.

    When my final payment was not received iaw the new payment method, Truist made absolutely no attempt to directly contact me and sent me straight to BB&T collections instead (who called me and collected both the payment and my new address). BB&T Collections used my new address for correspondence, but Truist did not, despite now having it on record.

    I have a 100-point hit to my FICO credit score that will last for 7 years. Multiple requests to Truist for relief and specific complaints went mostly ignored over a 6-month period. I provided Truist with my change of address 6 times during this period but despite that, they continued to mail all correspondence to the wrong address. They responded to my CFPB complaint with a polite...tuff ** letter, stating that they mailed me a notice of payment type change (to the wrong address) therefore everything was on me after that. They had sent me the same letter a few weeks earlier, which prompted me to notify CFPB. Also, I did not receive my loan payoff letter for 6 months and I never received my title. Truist refused to use the mailing address on file at the DMV and demanded that the DMV send the title to the wrong address. The DMV revealed this when I went there to get my title.

    Beyond this auto loan payment event, I have experienced joint SunTrust/BB&T, 1 credit card, 4 debit cards, and 2 check books all mailed to the wrong address due to a complete failure of the BBT and SunTrust systems to talk to each other. I applied for the new accounts AT A SUNTRUST location with my new address included on all applications, yet the products were mailed to the old BB&T address of record instead. PLUS, each month I currently receive Truist "Important Notices" mailed to someone else, at my home address (and NO, she never lived at this address). The merger and transition involving BBT, SunTrust, and Truist systems is a calamity that did not have to happen the way it did. It was a self-induced, self-inflicted wound with customers paying the price for their malfeasance. I cannot be the only loan customer to be treated like this by Truist, SunTrust, BB&T.

    I have an account with this bank only for my car payment. I had several debit cards (that I did not request) sent out to me that I never received. But apparently someone else had. My account is strictly to pay the car. First fraudulent transactions I caught were 5,10 dollar small amounts. Luckily enough I caught that ahead of time and was refunded the money.

    Now after two years having this account. I open the app to add a check to pay for car payment that’s automatically withdrawn each month. I see there’s again another fraudulent activity. 100$ pending transaction from a debit card. I keep a minimum balance in this account. I bank with another bank for years. I can’t wait to make the last few payments and get away from this bank. This has happened multiple times. It’s time consuming and stressful. I do not recommend banking with them.

    I tried to report fraud but they wouldn't without suspending my account which I could not do until I could go in and get a temporary card and of course there was help inside the bank so I told the person on the phone that I could not get a new card yet so she said she would not report the fraud. So I said fine, I will go in the branch again in a few days. I go to use my debit card a few minutes later and it's declined. I go call back and they have no idea why.

    I go in the bank and it's because it's been reported for fraud. Even though they will not remove the charges and I had just told her not to stop my card. So the teller turns the card back on because there is still no one there that can assist me with a temporary card and report the fraud in the bank. They have a new person being trained. So I said no problem I will come back report the fraud and close the account and go to another bank. I never had this trouble with BB&T. The only other time I reported fraud they removed it with one call and my card was fine. These people calling into another country cannot understand us and they just do whatever. I can get a better experience elsewhere.

    We were happy with SunTrust and have used them over fifteen years. They had a simple website. One of the perks was free credit monitoring from IDnotify. With Truist taking over things have changed. Now it seems like a marketing world when you log in. It is no longer about banking, but about others competing for the business of Truist customers. I dont know a lot about hacking, but it seems to me this can be a back door for someone to gain access into your account by clicking on, say. WalMart or Dropbox or any number of companies who have the ability for you to click on their access through Truist.

    And to make matters worse they have removed the free credit monitoring. They recently sent an email that read; "Your financial security is important to us, which is why we’re excited to invite you to our next-gen credit monitoring service: Experian CreditCenter. This service replaces IDnotify®, which will end on Aug. 31, 2022. There’s a lot to look forward to with Experian CreditCenter — you can read all about it here. And it’s free to enroll for Truist clients. Just sign in to get started."

    This was **. after clicking on the link, all it did was remove any and all of your access to ID monitoring to now posting your credit score on the first page of the Truist website when you log in. Just what I want is to have a criminal look over my shoulder to see what my score is! If you do go to the link provided in this new "opportunity" as I said, you no longer have access to the monitoring, but instead it takes you to a page called Monitoring Services and apparently it has minimal to do with the account holder, but instead only applies to your "Child Monitoring". It reads "Checks for fraudulent names, aliases, and addresses associated with your minor child's SSN."

    So what do I think? Truist wanted to save some money and they removed the once free and courteous monitoring provided by SunTrust. I don't give a flip about my credit score. I give a flip if someone opened an account in my name or is using my email or phone number, etc. There is no reason to remain with this Institution any more..

    As a small business owner I have banked with BB&T for many, many years. They were outstanding especially to the small business segment. The Truist merger has been the biggest cluster I have experienced. Their on-line banking rollout was premature, poorly tested and full of flaws. Their staff could not help or explain the systems and even today no one is sure of some of the processes. A few months ago during a discussion of an incorrect charge, a Team lead brought to my attention that I am being incorrectly charged a monthly service fee ---- yet after weeks and weeks and weeks, he up through a VP in Florida can not/or haven't gotten around to stopping these charges which escalated this month.

    Non returned phone calls grow ---- I would say that my overcharges exceed $1400. Seems Truist has no time for its customers nor interested in correcting customer overcharges.

    I have been a Third National / Suntrust client for 50 years. I have multiple accounts with large balances. I have had loans and mortgages and private bankers throughout the years. I have many automatic transactions which occur. Since Suntrust became Truist, my experience has been ABYSMAL. If I weren't so entrenched, and if it weren't so painful to change, I would have left 6 months ago. Customer service has essentially left the company. When Suntrust formally became Truist, it took me 2 months to get access online to my business account. My "private banker" gave me various 800 numbers to call, but warned me in advance that the wait time would be 45 minutes. The online phone bankers to whom I have spoken speak broken English in thick accents.

    I went in to a branch office to wire money. I had all necessary identification, and (this is what is incredible) the branch manager onsite actually knew me. Nevertheless, when it came to wiring the funds, she refused to move forward because I could not list the exact amounts of the three most recent activities on the account.

    Just now I tried to gain online access to credit card statements for an elderly relative for whom I am the power of attorney. The necessary documents were on file a year ago and have been resubmitted. After spending an hour on the phone with the 800 number and a Chinese speaking banker (not exaggerating), I again tried the private banker. I was shuttled by email to a higher up "Wealth Support Specialist" in North Carolina who said "We do not have access to this system however you may contact our online banking area at 800-382-3232 for assisting with your request." I cannot say it more vehemently. Go elsewhere. If this review saves one person from getting stuck at Truist, it was worth the time it took to post. Frustrated. Nashville TN.

    Truist blocked Zelle payment, on 06/10/2022, to a friend, which was a reimbursement to him for miscellaneous items he’d picked up for me and paid for using his debit card in the amount of $1,300. Attempted Zelle transfer multiple times as instructed by the message received on the Truist app, with each attempt resulting in failure. Initiated phone call with Truist customer service at 18:44, at 888.228.6654, and was instructed to contact their fraud services department at 800.448.5493. Contacted fraud services at number provided at 19:21, and spoke with the representative. Representative stated the transaction was blocked because they found the amount suspicious. I explained to the representative the situation, and the representative addressed the issue with other members of the fraud services department, and the issue was resolved.

    Sent the Zelle payment again, in the amount of $1,300, to reimburse my friend while still on the phone with the fraud services representative, and the transaction was successful. Representative assured me that steps had been taken to prevent like issues happening in the future and that there were no more issues with my account. The fraud services representative stated he had added notes to my account so that if there were any future issues they would be resolved without unnecessarily hindering my account; I informed the fraud services department that it was not the first issue I had with the bank, but one of many (a minimum of 30 issues) that have taken place both prior to (as a BB&T customer) and following the merger that created Truist from BB&T and SunTrust directly by Truist, and that if any further issues were to take place I would be closing all of my accounts with their bank immediately.

    The fraud services representative stated he understood my discontent and that he had noted my intent to close all of my accounts if there were any further issues, then apologized for the inconvenience it had caused me. The call was then ended; call lasted 51 minutes. Hold time for call was approximately 38 minutes. Proceeded on my way home. Stopped for gas and put minimal fuel in my truck, enough to make it home, because the fuel prices were considerably cheaper near my home. Stopped at 7 Eleven and attempted to purchase a pack of cigarettes and Monster Energy drink totaling $12 and some change. Debit card was declined at merchant. Attempted same transaction again, as my card occasionally malfunctions and declines, then when run a second time the transaction is approved; however the card was declined once again.

    I attempted to access my Truist mobile checking app, and received the message “Account Locked…. Your online access has been blocked. To speak with a representative, please call 800.448.5493. Press option 2 for Checks/ATO/Online & Electronic payments and then press option 3 for Electronic payments like Zelle. Select option 1 for Zelle and RTP. Truist’s Faster Payment Detection representatives are available 8:00 am to 8:00 pm ET, seven days a week”. Attempted to call this number again to reach their fraud services department, but the time was now 21:58 and outside of their normal business hours. Called Truist's customer service again, as they were the only department currently open, and informed them of the current issue as well the previous issue that I had spent 51 minutes on the phone, both on hold and in speaking, with the fraud services representative resolving earlier that evening.

    Was informed that they were unable to unlock my account, and that fraud services would not be available again until Monday morning, 06/13/2022. Customer service representative was able to look up a partial explanation of the reason for my account being locked, which they now stated was frozen due to a suspicious large transaction, and asked me if I had made any large transactions, at which time I once again informed them of the $1,300 I had sent through Zelle to reimburse my friend as well a $6,000 check that had been deposited on 06/08/2022 which had already posted and the funds had been made available. The check in the amount of $6,000 paid to me by a known source and fully in my name, and had not caused any issues with the account.

    I contend that Truist Bank is willfully attempting to commit consumer fraud, by attempting to prevent lawful transfer of personal funds reimburse a friend for purchases made on my behalf with his own money, and once said issue with transfer the Zelle transfer was resolved willfully chose to commit further consumer fraud, for the purposes of creating hardship through retaliation, by freezing my account on 06/10/2022 under the new guise of a “suspicious” $6,000 check that had been deposited on 06/08/2022 and had already been posted to my account and the funds having already been made available.

    This freezing of my account was done after notes had been added on it for fraud services representatives to see (or so I was informed by the fraud services representative earlier on 06/10/2022) that I would be immediately closing all three of my Truist accounts due to considerable ongoing serious issues with their bank, and I believe, given the timing, it was done solely in retaliation for my noted intent to close all of my accounts with Truist Bank if any further issues should take place.

    Since the migration of SunTrust online banking to Truist online system, I have not been able to access statements or tax documents for some accounts. During tax prep season, I couldn't access the tax forms online. The site said "Documents for Brokerage Accounts are temporarily unavailable". Not only was the account NOT a brokerage account (which led me to call the wrong customer support number based on the contact info on the site), "temporarily unavailable" is still the message after over 2 months of trying to access the document.

    Because of the misleading message, I first called the customer service line for Brokerage Accounts. After a long hold time, the rep told me the account I was calling about was NOT a Brokerage Account so I should call the regular Banking customer service number. I asked if he could transfer me (and was surprised he hadn't offered to do so at once), which he did. I then had a second long queue to wait in.

    That customer service representative was able to recreate the problem from his system. I asked for a printed version to be mailed to me at the address on my account. That was about 10 weeks ago and I haven't received the tax document yet. And the system is still not able to access the tax documents for the account in question, and still has the misleading message about Brokerage Accounts. I've encountered other issues with automated payments as well (paying out of the wrong account, for example.)

    I have just completed a formal letter of complaint to send to the bank, telling them what I need them to do and that if I don't get a resolution within a specified timeframe, I will file a complaint with FDIC and CFPB. I think the Federal government needs to take action especially when it involves critical documents for filing income taxes.

    By the way, they closed the SunTrust branch which was the "home" for multiple accounts I have with them, but did NOT communicate by email or USPS mail the location of the branch(es) nearest me. Finally, I couldn't find a physical mailing address on their site, so had to do an internet search to find where to send my letter. I'm not sure these days whether a written letter is still taken with seriousness, but I figured I might as well try that before submitting the complaint to the regulatory agencies. This level of service is totally unacceptable.

    At the branch level, there is literally one local branch person who seems to know what he's doing, and he's not the manager. The manager, Darlene, apparently can't deal with the slightest amount of stress, thinks no matter how rude she's being that if she says "sir" she's being polite, and has literally hung up on me while in the middle of answering her question after interrupting me to tell me she's too busy to finish the conversation. *click* Darlene and her disrespect are the last straw in a huge pile of Truist customer service straws for me.

Yet, I have been to the bank twice and spoken on the phone with them 4 times. Every time I speak to them, I have to wait at minimum a couple of hours before the person trying to help me can even figure out what's going on. Then every time they give me a different reason for those fees being there, tell me "it will be taken care of" or "we will call you back as soon as the investigation is finished" and they never do anything.

    They even accused me of having tried to deposit the same check four times which was not only false but outrageous - after 4 hours on the phone with them, they finally acknowledged that it was four different checks, but they did not apologize for making me out to be a fraud, and surprise, they charged me with an additional $35 for "image fees."

    It took a three-hour trip to a brick and mortar bank to have that "image fee" removed but those other fees are still there, the bank manager assuring me it will be done at the end of the day -- two weeks ago. This is how you treat a customer you've had for over 20 years? This is only one problem. My husband's social security pension was rejected by Truist for no reason. Truist had the gall to blame Social Security, when he's been receiving his check at the same account for the last five years. These are just a few of the problems. It goes on and on and on and on. They never apologize, and they never fix any of the problems they create. And worse of all, they take your money. This is not a place where you want to keep your money. Go somewhere else. Plenty of good banks out there.

    I was a client for years before the merger. A few years ago fraud attempts were blocked by the bank and I disputed fraudulent transactions, telephone banker wasn't concerned it happened twice in the same year. I opened an account online and called to find it Truist had no record of the account. Debit cards didn't work on several occasions. I decided to close accounts, several branches when asked the same questions stalled about withdrawals or were rude, argumentative, weren't knowledgable about products.

    We have had nothing but trouble working with Truist. We wish our mortgage wasn't sold to these guys. Everything is difficult with them. The online accounts from setup to login to doing things is awful. Their phone system isn't any better. I swear these guys don't want you to pay them. In order to pay our mortgage, we usually have to try online a few times with errors than to try the phone payment with errors and then wait on hold until we get someone. We've tried autopay, which was a fail. I've never experienced a mortgage company that is so exhausting to pay each month. If I could move the mortgage Ioan I would do it in a heartbeat.

    FYI...AVOID TRUIST BANK AT ALL COSTS! One star rating is waaaayyy too generous! This bank is the absolute worst of ANY bank! Long story as short as possible...customer service # non-reachable, hold times over an hour long & then hung up on, branch employees non-reachable by phone, wait times in line at branch very excessive. When customer passes away & family is told to bring copy of death cert to branch to note acct, keep getting calls stating past due & you tell them death cert on file & acct noted (as told to family by branch mgr), person calling states nothing noted on acct, family takes total of 4 death certs to branch mgr & told each time acct is noted as deceased, then acct is turned to collection for non-payment, adding additional fees to the deceased person's acct, trying to draft payments from a closed out acct, incurring more fees, then tries to collect from estate that has nothing to collect from...

    THIS IS TERRIBLE SERVICE & SHOWS JUST HOW MESSED UP YOUR BANK IS!!! At time customer opened up the loan acct (family member was also present & heard the statement, so there's no denying it), was told by loan officer that should something happen to customer before note was paid off, since no collateral or co-signer on acct, it would be written off with copy of death cert...NOT TRUE! 4 COPIES OF DEATH CERT & NOTES ON ACCT MEAN NOTHING TO THIS TERRIBLE BANK!!!

    What about the feelings of the family member bringing the death cert copies repeatedly to the branch? Truist put this acct into collections knowing the person was deceased & having 4 copies of death cert on file & acct noted as such, you're even adding on fees to a deceased acct!!! No one can give us the name & # of Pres/CEO to try & fix this, just keep referring back to non-existent customer service! I'm contacting my local tv consumer news anchor to hopefully air this story & bring awareness of the tactics of Truist bank!!!

    My wife and I bank with Suntrust, Clermont, Florida recently changed to Truist. We have a business account and personal account. We have a line of credit for personal and business. I have a business in the UK with services provided by our USA operation. We prepay our suppliers and as such it leaves us with cash flow imbalance so we use our line of credit. Our personal line of credit offers a lower rate of interest so that is our first choice. Each week we take funds from our line of credit but at the end of the week we repay all or most of the loan via a bank wire transfer to the Florida business account. The money is credited to that account instantly. Money is immediately paid to the personal account and from there to the line of credit to bring down to zero. Truist have now decided that such funds require 5 days to be credited to the account.

    In addition their system does not allow us to make use of the business line of credit online. Their understanding of banking systems makes me scratch my head, why do the banks bother employing idiots who do not understand. I tried to rationalize by telling the bank that if the funds are there in the business account, what prevents me from asking for a large sum of money in cash and then depositing the same into another account which would be credited instantly. Do they understand? NO. They want to charge interest on money they are holding back! Get with it Truist, this is the 21st century!

    I deposited a check for $15,000 on April 7th to cover a large ECH that was scheduled to hit the account on the 11th. The check was written against my investment account at UBS. Truist cashed the check, deposited it to my account and then put $14,900 on administrative hold until April 15th. The check cleared UBS on April 8th but Truist refused to release the hold. I spent more than two hours online and on the phone with the bank and another 45 minutes in the branch. NO ONE WOULD RELEASE THE HOLD! It's important to note, that over the past year, I have transferred through EFT's or deposited checks, a total of $179,000 from UBS to SunTrust now Truist.

    To solve the problem, I had UBS transfer another $15,000 to Truist to cover the ECH so they now have $39,900 of my money but the ECH was denied. To add salt to the wound, they just denied a debit card payment to my insurance company. It is so difficult to change banks today because of all the automated transactions.

    I have been trying to resolve this issue with TRUIST Bank. I used to love SUNTRUST. I came to them when I was unhappy with BB&T long ago. The relationship has been flawless till BB&T calling themselves TRUIST happened. I have multiple businesses and applied for the PPP loans thru my bank SUNTRUST. It was chaotic to say the least getting all the required documentation that they wanted but finally they said they had all they needed. I was given both loans for both businesses. I submitted the appropriate paperwork for the forgiveness packages which really was the EZ forms because the loans were small. I received two FORGIVENESS Letters from the Portal and one of them seems to be forgiven but the other one seems to be an issue because they say I have a PPP loan with another lender???? They are the only lender and it is for 2 businesses.

    I have the letter on TRUIST letter head saying balance is $0 and they have now deleted that letter and say that it is not forgiven and they are calling the LOAN DUE IN FULL plus INTEREST with threats to pursue me. I try to go direct to the SBA and TRUIST is not signed up for DIRECT Forgiveness so I have to go thru TRUIST. But no one will listen to me or even cares about the approval I was given. BOTH LOANS should have easily been forgiven. All documents were submitted. I need help. No one will listen. I went to the BRANCH and no one could help me. The day I was there last week the 3 people in front of me were closing their accounts. I closed 2 of mine. I still have multiples with TRUIST. This will change as soon as I can put my businesses on with a different lender. How do you get their attention. If they don't believe their own documents what else can I do.

    My credit profile has been bad, until the last 2 years. I did improve my situation, went from a credit score of 538 to 737. I moved to Florida back in March 2021 and bought the house I was renting in October 2021. I decided it was time to ditch the bank I have in Michigan. Granted, they are great, but I did not desire to go with Wells Fargo, Bank of America, or Chase, as sometimes the big banks lose vision on who their most important customer base is. Truist seemed logical. They are where I am at and they have an established reputation from SunTrust and BB&T and they support the LGBT community in the southern communities, which is vitally important to me.

    So, I first applied for a credit card. I mean, honestly, I have been declined for a credit card from all of them so how would Truist be any different? They so much were. To my astonishment, they approved me and the limit was set a shocking amount - $ 4500. I went ahead and opened a checking and savings account which was seamless. Then I felt emboldened, why not open a 2nd credit card with with Truist? The worse they can say is "NO". They didn't. They mirrored the 2nd approval from the first, so now I have two credit cards with $ 4500 limits each. It means that I will be closing out smaller limit cards and be content with what Truist has offered. Life is about simplifying and Truist seems to helped with this. Making things easier from 2 levels seem to work for me. My bank is now local, where I can walk in and talk to local representatives if I should need it and have credit cards with a local bank just seems logical and better on many levels.

They declined and said we were late. Our local Suntrust representative did not think that was right and filed another dispute, which was declined also. No customer service here at all!!!!

    Froze my account, froze my card, then charged me the fees because they couldn't access my account? Wait times for callers are ridiculous, 45 minutes on a good day. I gave up on dealing with the fraud department, I could make 1 purchase, 2 if I was lucky, before being frauded. Waiting for them to shut down my account so I can take my money elsewhere.

    I was a BB&T customer for as long as I can remember and they were acquired by SunTrust. Since this has happened there is NO customer service unless you have hours to spend on the phone. They removed the ability to communicate by email using the app. Also their mobile banking app doesn't allow deposits. It says you didn't properly endorse the check which is totally false. I plan to move all my accounts to another bank who provides customer service. The reviews here speak volume.

    The worst online banking experience I have ever had. Does not allow me to set up online payments, customer service is terrible. “Sorry I can’t set up reoccurring online payment for you.” “We have a policy”. Sent in a form authorizing reoccurring payments, but they can’t find it. These guys are the worst. Avoid if you can.

    I have banked with SunTrust (Truist) for over 25 years. For the past 18 months if you call regarding a personal or business credit card, wait times are on average 45 minutes, that’s if the wait music keeps playing. Many times after 20-30 minutes on hold listening to the wait music, it will go silent, then eventually hangs up. Avoid this bank and its horrible customer service at all cost. My business banking experience is far worse than this review with them, mainly concerning fraud and reimbursement. Stay away!!!! Unfortunately I’m so tied into Suntrust I haven’t changed banks.

    I have banked with Suntrust for years. But now that they have gone to Truist I cannot get into my online account and they will not allow me to wire to my main bank and close the account. I cannot get online to check my account. Everything I call I end up on hold for hours. I can't believe this is happening.

    For two months I have written letters, emails, made 50 phone calls. None ever got answered. Hold times past 4 hours a day.... 56 instant messages not returned. Facebook postings not returned.... I have had zero contact for 2 months despite trying everything.... This could be a shell company.... How can no one work here.... I spend 66 hours on hold over 43 days and not one has answered. I must stop the payments today and notify the state and government....MUST WARN OTHERS TO AVOID THIS.

    Any service takes forever, tried more than one branch. Some branches are closed without any notice, some have appointments that later get cancelled due to systems not working. Amazed they exist. Call wait time over 3 hours.

    Just awful moving my account ASAP. Need to cancel my CC and get a new one. Can get no one on the phone. Went to BB&T where I was told if you were with Suntrust they can help. Their lobby was closed and I was told to call the people who never answer the phone. Run do not walk to move your account somewhere else - preferably a credit union where they give a crap about customers!

    My mother bought an annuity in 2011 to leave her children when she passed. She passed in 2012 but my father was still alive so some idiot there told him to put it in his name. My dad passed in 2021 and my brother is the executor for the estate and for the past 6 months they have Jersey us around to get this money. They are completely incompetent buffoons. They are literally stealing our money. Do not, do not use these idiots for anything. Every time they return the paperwork for some ** or another, he does exactly what they tell him to do, they return it with the same thing they refused it for. Absolutely incompetent Thieves!

    I call this bank the bank of satan. Caused me an enormous pain in the butt for no reason. Terminated my account, and returned payments I made, that I had sufficient funds for, and did not tell me. Would not give me a reason. I tried to access my app but they had me locked out. Tried to call for 6 days and no one answered the phone. Finally got someone in the fraud dept. After being on hold 2.5 hours. They said they terminated my account and would not say why. However to get my money out of it they said they would send me a letter telling me how to get my money. Worst bank I have ever dealt with in 62 years.

    Unprofessional reps keeps you on hold 45 mins and transfer you. Can't help you. Managers need to correct problem sooner than later. Finding a better bank that's not merging with other banks that don't have good reviews.

    I’ve been with same banking for over 40 years and through all the name changes and merges. I always had free checking and even got free checks. So first change in this merge I am told no more free checks. Ok not a big deal. But next I see $20 maintenance monthly fee charged, it took me nearly an hour wait to get customer service rep on phone and it was someone I could hardly understand. It turns out this fee is charged because my direct deposit is usually paid on the 1st day of month but because the 1st fell on a Saturday, it was deposited on Friday which was the last day leaving me no direct deposit for the month although I had two the previous month. I feel like I was robbed, and I didn’t notice the fee right off because they don’t put fees at top of statements, it’s put in line with other deposits/debits where it doesn’t stand out.

    I was given a lesson on how to use online banking to check my account which I do already and never noticed the fees stuck in there. They said they sent me a letter but I never received one. They did refund one month fee but the other they said they could not. I also have trouble with the Truist app. I cannot make mobile deposit because it doesn’t work properly like my Suntrust app always worked and I have no branches near me.

    I got a call about a potential fraud charge on my card. I returned the call to the number they left and confirmed the charge. Then was told I had to speak to another department which has a 30 minute wait time!!! Just to again confirm a legit charge I already confirmed with a human being at the number I was told to call.

    As a former SunTrust customer Truist is Awful. They continue to shut down SunTrust Physical Banks. Which shuts down SunTrust ATMs. All the while saying your SunTrust ATM card will now work at BB&T/Truist ATMs. What they don’t tell you is SunTrust customers can not make a deposit at these BB&T/Truist ATMs. Not all of us can get to a bank at times you can go inside. We shouldn’t have to for simple deposits.

    This morning I go on Truist App and it is showing a general routing # along with my last four account numbers. The routing # is much like the old SunTrust International # for Transfers. I call Truist 800 # in app for customer service. Recording says there is a 25 minute wait. There is no offer to call you back. I stayed on waiting for just over an hour for someone to answer my call. Finally someone answers. They can not figure out what my routing # is. I have tried to be patient as Truist has been making the transition for over a year now. I’m done. I’m looking for a new bank.

    SunTrust and Truist customer is non existence, the worst in the world. The Truist merger is a joke. It looks like it is unraveling. Extremely long time waits and after 35 = 45 minutes you end up with a Filipino who can neither speak English or know what to do then some hang up. They made me transfer to Truist now Truist says I belong ion SunTrust. I cannot now pay any bills or transfer funds. I am not their biggest customer but first chance I am out.
