Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Managres/Tellers

Since the inception of 3rd world mentality as branch managers, tellers, the bank has lost its center, no longer has a compass of assistance to the client. Personally myself and some of my friends who have substantial amounts atthe bank will be closing our accounts, Why? because they way they now treat their customers, a 3rd world inmigrant, who speaks no English and knows nothing about our culture is placed in charge of being a Branch manager? are you kidding me?

Claimed loss: These so called branch managers, egregiously have continuously and continue to harass, stalk and bully bank customers.

Desired outcome: Hire some true american help.

— SILENT FORECLOSURE COMPLAINT ON TRUIST BANK — I was approved for $16k with the Home Assistance Program in October 2022. Truist kept that money and returned it back to them in August 2023.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) NO Communication

My acct was with Sun Trust untill merge with Truist. Since Truist took over I have revd no statements for over 2 years. Don't think that is even lawfull, but Truist has no problem bombarding me with emails about their offerings. Seems pretty bad that you know how to contact me, but didn't even let me know that my acct had been frozen due to inactivity...Cured the problem...took my money and ran. Don't do business if you expect the normal banking experience. Called "customer service" , the representative couldn't answer my questions , so I was put on hold to speak to a "supervisor". after a 20 minute wait I hung up. recvd no follow up.

Desired outcome: all pertnent bank statements associaed with my acct from the time Truist merged with Suntrust, tto present (Jan 12, 2024.

Good luck. Suntrust was great. Since BB&T got involved everything has gone to [censored]. I can't even access my account right now. Why? I have no clue, and they won't tell me.

This has been a complete nightmare. I sold a rare Garcia beanie baby on November 30th 2023 and received a secured cashiers check for $5,886.55 from the client. Went to cash the check and it was placed on hold the next day. I had no problem as I know they have to verify checks that are over a large amount.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Banks shut down and you couldn't even leave a kiosk...

Hello,

I continue to complain that Truist shut down the last of their McDowell County, NC banks in Old Fort this summer. WHY CAN'T YOU PUT A KIOSK IN FOR THIS COMMUNITY? It is a 60 mile round trip for me to do business for my very, busy business! I am losing time and money because of YOU!

You talk a lot of crap on your website about caring for the community.

I have been banking with you since 1978. What happened to you people?

I have asked and asked for a response to my complaints but NOBODY ever does! WE NEED A KIOSK PLEASE!

At this point, I will call my local TV station, the Better Business Bureau or the NC Banking Commissioner. Maybe I'll get some action.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Closed account

I reported a check that I thought was a fraud, but later discovered it wasn't and called TruIst to tell them. meanwhile they had blocked and closed my account. I, mistakingly, thought I would be issued and a new checking account number and debit card number. I asked asked if the checks I had mailed out for payments would clear, and was told yes. That turned out to be wrong. My phone was cut off, 3 payments got returned, etc.

Now I'm being told I have to go to a branch office in order to get thls reopened, new account, or even to close the account. There is no office in my town and is 2 hours away. I am 88 with a broken hip and no car. How can I get my money to buy food, pay rent, etc. I know this can be done someway

Claimed loss: My funds - $1801.00

Desired outcome: account reopened or new one

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) I was referred to the FC after I was successfully authenticated

I tried to zelle my son football coach $150 for his upcoming Superbowl uniform, the payment failed so I was transferred to the zelle fraud department where I accurately answer all the questions then she noted my account and said I had to visit a FC but that's discrimination because I'm black if you able to fully authenticate a client there is no reason to refer them to the FC. The call is recorded which is proof that was discrimination and all my answers matched my profile. The reason why she discriminated against was not acceptable it's disgusting. Also I went into the FC to make deposit with 2 forms of ID that same day now why would tell me to return to the FC to get authenticated. I know why she was discriminating against me.

I sent a wire transfer to Gemini on 10/3/23; apparently the bank suspects fraud. I understand they have to be cautious. This money, $86,000, is not fraudulent and they won't release my money.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Discrimination against soldiers

I serve in the National Guard. Truist declared my national guard deposit (a govt payment) "suspicious" and locked me out of my account until they review my account. I don't care so much about the drill payment as it's like $200, but the pay from my regular job (close to $2000) is also being locked and I have $3 to live on while thousands are literally sitting in my account that Truist won't allow me to access. This bank discriminates against service members. I no longer feel safe with this organization holding my money. Do not go with this bank.

Desired outcome: Unlock my account!!!
