happy customer for years
I have had a checking account with suntrust bank for over 15 years.I have been very happy with them and remained loyal ever since then.I use to bank with another bank and every time i would have a check that was not covered i had overdrafts that were plaguing me.I started an account with suntrust and it was not long that i got enrolled in an overdraft protection plan they offer.The banker lady told me that i should apply for it and if approved that it would help me in times like that.I really liked the fact that the bank is only a few miles from my house as well.I use to get a paper check at my old job and could not get to the bank till 5 in the evening which is when they closed but the guy at that bank knew i would be there every thursday then and he would make sure i got my deposit in before closing up.Talk about service now that was service and i very much appreciated it.
Ridiculous
I have been with SunTrust since 2013. Today I logged into my savings account and saw an "Excessive withdrawal fee" Are you kidding me? They charged me $6.00 for that. I work hard for MY money they have no right to tell me how many times I can withdraw or charge me a fee. I called and had it refunded and they were nice about it but its still ridiculous. What is happening in corporate America these days?
Purposeful Overdraft Fees
I have been a SunTrust customer for over 2 years. No complaints until Christmas 2019. I have regular weekly deposits from my employer, this last week I monitor my balance frequently on my phone app. I had multiple pending charges that were held for 4 days, and each day they lowered my available balance appearing as though I had a negative balance. I was charged hundreds of dollars in overdraft fees and SunTrust only reversed $36.
Shady, slimy and sick to squeeze customers for nefarious actions due to a merger?
Worst Bank Since Merger
This is post to warn people to not do business with SunTrust Bank ( Now Turist ) the will take your money for erronious fees. Get this I had $1755.00 in my account and a $212.00 and they hit me for an $36.00 overdraft fee and if you subtract all the items going through my account including the overdraft fee the remaining balance was $19.41, that including them taking the overdraft fee on $36.00 and all my withdrawls for bills. And trying to get them to remove it is impossible they said that I had a negitive balance even though after subtracting all debits the remain balance was $19.41 so you have been warned, do not Bank with Suntrust now Truist or you will regret it. And this started right after the merger, I have been a customer for 10 years never had a problem, And also they are re-ordering you debits to your account,
