Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Credit card managing alerts

When it was BBT bank, I was able to set an alert for my credit card. When anything was charged on my card it would send me an alert telling me where and how much the charge was on my cellphone. This way I would know immediately if my card was missed used. It sends me a notification that the card was used but not the where and how much on my phone. It will send me an email with all the information. It sure was great to know when I am out of the home if my card has been used and by where. My card has been compromised a couple of times and had to get a new card. this was something that was really important to me so that is why I am asking can it be resolved. seems to me if you send out an email with all the information why not the phone like it was before.

Desired outcome: please if this issue can be fixed

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Maintenance fee's? Really?

Just checked my bank statements (On-line) and saw where "Truist" has been taking $5.00 out of my savings account for a so-called "maintenance fee"! I did not authorize this bank to take money out of my savings account! I am dropping these Tyrants like a bad habit tomorrow. BB&T was good, not the best but they never took money out of my account ever for a maintenance fee.
Truist? You can say "Goodbye to Hollywood" from this customer. You are slow, inept and taking advantage of your customers. I am done with you and so is my girlfriend as she also is pissed that you take $10.00 out of her account for a "maintenance fee"! You people need your heads examined. Good bye!

Desired outcome: Need none! I am changing banks tomorrow at the crack of dawn!

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Customer service at blue ball former bb&t

Tried to contact truist customer service by phone waited online, to log onto my Former bb&t account.
Couldn't log on. Called the blue ball office after a 25 minute wait trying to contact Truist customer service to no avil ?
Lady answered, immediately asked if I could hold, I said no. I guess She layed the phone on the counter or what not, then proceeded to do what other business was she had going before answering the phone?
Then returning, she attacked me saying I was yelling and gave me one option, to which was not viable for me a 71 year old disabled man, to come into office to log back into my account.
She then hung up on me saying I was not cooperating and "yelling" at her several times.
Then I calling back she obviously seen my number and again immediately verbally attacking me saying I was yelling?
She said several times there were only two people and they were short handed.
I then hung the phone up after getting no where with thus sad frustrated, sad representation of customer service.
My name is James D McLamb, my phone number is [protected].
I have been a customer of this branch of now Truist for over 30 years.
Was mortified how I was treated, by this obviously frustrated and overworked individual.
I hope this person is reprimanded at the very least, for this sad performance in every aspect of customer service, and the pitiful treatment of a customer 71 and disabled.

Desired outcome: Personal reprimand by Truist Managanent,so no other have to experencethis sad customer service.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Customer service

I am having a credit card payment issue that relates to two payments being declined despite enough available credit. When I contacted Truist via the phone number provided, a recording said the wait time would be sixty minutes (an hour) which is totally unacceptable and a waste of my time. I have been a BB&T customer for 50 years and have never had this problem. When I called my local branch, they could not help me either and were also told that the wait time for assistance was an hour. This is totally inexcusable and is all about Truist wanting to make more money without having been prepared for the merger. I will be removing all of my accounts from Truist.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Customer service (business)

I reached out to Truist customer service department about an issue I was having with electronic banking. After a 10 minute wait, I was connected with a service representative. He was very attentive and tried to help, he understood my problem. Even though the application said I could change the order of accounts as they appeared, neither of us could execute it. He filed a request within the organization for clarity. I also mentioned I was having a hard time trying to link a missing checking account that is not showing up on my app. I was told I needed to be transferred to (Business Customer Service). So my complaint is simple, after 1 hour of waiting I hung up!

Desired outcome: Take a phone number for the client and call the client back if your wait time is that long

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Poor customer service

On Friday, October 15, I visited your bank on Johns Hopkins Road in Burtonsville, MD for the first time - intending to open an account and deposit a substantial amount of money in CD's. I went to the front counter and asked what the current cd rates were. The very unfriendly woman behind the counter acted like it was a hardship to find out this information, as did the other associates behind the counter when she asked them what the rates were. No one showed any interest in welcoming a potential new customer. I was not given a print-out of cd rates nor referred to a non-teller to discuss the options. Bad Bad Bad customer service.

I called the TRUIST BANK CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT and FRAUD DEPARTNEBT on 03/11/2022.. A purchase processed on FRIDAY 03/11/2022 incorrectly. I called to let them know that the purchased was cancelled and reprocessed on another credit card by myself. I was informed the the charge was pending and they could not help me. I must have called both departments at least 10 or more times, to have this charge voided or cancelled. Since Friday 03/11/2022 I have occurred more than $400.00 in overdraft fees and the only help I could get was that it is still pending and that no one could help me... Which I feel is bad banking policies and poor customer service. Today on 03/15/2002 they finally put in a claim dispute and said it would take 3 to 5days before anything would happen or I would be contacted in the mean time I will continue to get more overdraft fees on my account.. THIS IS AWFUL AND UNSATIFACTORAY

ON THERE PART. I FEEL LIKE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER AND THE COMSUMERS BANKING EXPERIENCE!

Hi! Susan Henson, Milledgeville, Ga. In am writing because I understand that you will be closing a very busy Branch here in town. The one you are closing is on commercial side of town. All the Major stores are on that side of town! moving to the downtown area is a mistake! You will loose business. People who live on the north side will change banks before cramming into the downtown area.

Desired outcome: consider keeping north side open, come and see for yourself

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) On-line banking

Truist... What did you do an easy to use BB&T on-line banking website? The Truist site is terrible.

After a horrific rollout during "transition" and hours to resolve sign-on and password issues we're left with the following? Examples:

Common Truist message when signing on: The service you're attempting to access is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Paying a bulk stack of bills? BB&T used to let you prep bill pay in bulk, then Pay. Now Truist... One individual bill at a time? If you can pay in bulk it sure isn't obvious like on the former BB&T site. Ridiculous.

When making a transaction or transfer... I love the Truist message to me "Hang Tight". Juvenile. Welcome to Woke.

Lastly... Can't find any place to communicate ( by email maybe? - not "Chat") to Truist Corporate customer service with a complaint or suggestion.

Desired outcome: Feedback

I set up a bill to be paid . I have a conformation number ([protected]) Amount $55.72. To be paid October 1, 2021. Today I received a bill from merchant stating I am being charged a $30.00 late fee for non payment. I called merchant. Referred to bank. Called bank, on the line for one hour and 26 minutes! Am told I need to bring merchant bill to bank to recover the $30.00 late fee as payment never made. Drive 10 miles to bank. Am told they can do nothing, but give me a number to call. Go home and call. On phone for 46 minutes. Am told I need to fax merchant bill somewhere and that they will put a stop payment on check bank supposedly sent to merchant. For a fee. Now, I'm out the $55.72 payment, the $30.00 late fee and 3.5 hours of my day and nothing was accomplished.
How can this be ok?

Desired outcome: $55.72 bill paid and $30.00 late fee refunded.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Application for truist is terrible

This truist app is a TOTAL MESS, and that's being nice. I'm not rich, but I will take my money elsewhere.
This complaint app says my complaint is too short, so let's try this: who is working on the new Truist App? Do they test it before releasing it? I can no longer login to my BB&T App and now I can't log into my Truist App because I can't read the release I need to sign BECAUSE EVERY TIME I CLICK ON THE RELEASE LINK IT CLOSES THE TRUIST APP. Get it fixed or I will send a complaint to the US Treasury..Is this complaint long enough now?

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Access to online account

I am unable to gain access to my online account, formerly BBT, now Truist. Horrible. I can't take any further steps online to access my accounts unless I sign a Disclosure and Consent to Use Electronic Signatures and Communications. I feel if this is the case, I'll have to go through the excruciating and time consuming process of changing banks. Never had ANY issues with BBT. Very dissatisfied and upset.

Desired outcome: Have access to my online accounts without signing their Agreement.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Online banking

I got a car loan with BB&T in October of 2020. No problems with the BB&T site or with making my loan payments online. This month when I tried to make a payment it kept transferring me to another page which wouldn't load ad. I called and after about an hour on hold I reached a really helpful rep who took my payment and transferred me to the mobile banking help. She also gave me a phone number for that division. After another hour on hold I reached someone who gave me a temporary password which only led me to another blank page. She transferred me to the tech unit where I sat on hold for another hour and then I got disconnected. I'm also not able to accept my former Suntrust account. I don't have 3 hours a day to sit on hold with no results. This is the most disorganized changeover I've ever experienced

Desired outcome: Get my 2 online accounts working so I can make my car payments online and check my banking transactions

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Trying to access my checking account!!!

Two days ago on Sunday, I tried to access my bank account. I was formerly a BB&T customer, and I get over the weekend, they changed my access to my checking account, and I have tried several times to get assistance in getting my password changed! Tried several times and the system kept saying that a code was being sent to my phone, but it was to a number that wasn't mind! 'Then I called in to and reached an automatic system, that said it was sending a code the number I called in with. I never received the code! Then I called the banker Jessica G, after trying to transfer the money from the checking account, that was linked to my BB&T account. That worked, but I could only transfer $5, 0000 at a time. So I called Jessica and asked how could I transfer all of my money out of Truist! I was told I had to go to the bank office and do the transfer. Since I have new Gout issue, I can't go to the bank, and I was told that was the only way, and that I could only transfer $10, 000 every 30 days! I think that TRuist is a HORRIBLE bank! I have been on hold for almost an hour, trying to get someone to help me get access to my checking account and NOTHING! The repetitive phone message has stopped, and I am still supposedly on hold. I need help! What a crappy bank!

Desired outcome: Get my money out of Truist and close my checking account with them!!!
