At Truist, our purpose is to inspire and build better lives and communities. That happens through real care to make things better. To meet client needs, to empower teammates, and to lift up communities.
I have been a customer with Truist Bank for a couple of years, beginning with my personal checking and savings accounts and more recently opening my business account. During this time, I have consistently experienced excellent service and reliable support, which is why I chose Truist for my business banking as well.
When I opened my business checking account at the Palm Harbor, Florida branch, I worked with branch manager Sandy Wassen. She made the process seamless—professional, precise, and approachable at every step. Her communication was clear, her demeanor was friendly, and she treated me as a valued customer from the very beginning.
Sandy has been consistently thorough, patient, and supportive. She never made me feel rushed, overlooked, or pressured. Instead, she created an environment of trust and safety—something especially important for me as a first-time small business owner. Whenever I’ve reached out with questions about business or personal banking, she has always taken the time to provide guidance, which has given me the confidence to focus on running my business knowing my finances are in trusted hands.
As a new entrepreneur, I feel truly supported by Truist, and especially by the Palm Harbor branch. Thanks to their professionalism and Sandy’s dedication, I look forward to remaining a long-term Truist customer, even if I relocate outside the area.
If any bank has made me feel genuinely appreciated and secure, it is Truist. Because of the service at Palm Harbor and the professionalism of Sandy Wassen, I trust Truist with both my personal and business financial growth moving forward.

By far the rudest branch and employees I have ever experienced. They could not care less how they treat their customers. I only go in there when I have to which is not that often and they are always rude. Should have fired those old Suntrust employees after transition. Evidently no one reads the reviews or cares because this branch and Tarpon branch have super low ratings and the same people are still there. Dear Truist, how many customers are you losing or failing to attract by keeping rude employees?
