Outstanding Financial Institution
I am fortunate enough to be able to say I have been a customer of Suntrust Bank since my days at Ft. Lee Army base in Virginia. That goes back to 1991 and many things have taken place in my financial life since I first opened an checking and savings account at Suntrust.
My wife at the time attempted to clean out my checking and savings account at Suntrust so she could run off with her boyfriend back in 1993. Before the bank would give her the funds she was trying to take, I received a call from my banker letting me know what was in the process of taking place. I immediately headed to the bank and stopped the transactions she was attempting to make. Had I not gotten that call, I would of had about $125 to my name but, thanks to the concern of my local banker, my funds were intact. Suntrust helped me make an arrangement with my then about to be ex wife to get the funds she was authorized to have.
In 2007, I was in Lake Tahoe, California on vacation. I headed across the border to Billy's Casino in Stateline Nevada. I attempted to get $300 out of my checking account and when I saw the cashier, I was told it was going to cost me $39.95 to access my own money. I told them to cancel the transaction. A few days later, I did a check online and discovered that the casino put the charge through and it was removed out of my checking account without my signature. I contacted the bank, they put the funds back into my account and went back to Billy's Casino to resolve the matter. Without their help, I would probably have lost $300.00.
I rate Suntrust outstanding and I hope the above helps support my rating. Thank you.
Suntrust Is On The Ball
Someone was using my ITunes account, purchasing high dollar items. The account was linked to my SunTrust debit card. SunTrust recognized the changes as unusual for me and called. They stopped any additional charges, worked with ITunes and reimbursed my account. I am so thankful they are on top of things!
You Can Trust SunTrust
I have never had a problem with SunTrust, and they replace your lost debit cards for free. I am giving four stars because I cannot say this is the best bank of all time without ever having set foot in other local banking institutions. However, I can say that their employees are courteous and always make sure to take care of the customer. Although the interest on their saving accounts are low, and there are no extra rewards for banking with them, their savings and checking accounts are easily accessible online or at a local branch. The only thing I can think about to improve is the speed of their transactions - sometimes it actually takes 2-3 days before funds deposited via mobile app appear on a checking account, and sometimes it takes 3-4 days to pay an external bill. Never had a problem with security. Great app and photo-deposit option.
Banks Do Us Very Wrong.....
Not only SunTrust are no good, no bank in America is good. I will never bank here. I just opened a new account and one day later it's closed so, why freakin open the account in the first place? Stupid! I'm done with banks, I'll buy a safe, that way I'm not paying for my own money, no fees. Everything is free!!!!! These banks think their so clever. If they so clever, why do the bank allow someone to go in debt? Just like Metro PCS, you not bout to owe them nothing. They won't allow nothing to be not paid. These banks are straight bull shit and they rob us all for our money.....
