I had a great experience at this branch. Both tellers in the lobby greeted me and I explained what I needed to accomplish. Ms. Berry guided me through choosing the best product for my needs, quickly completed the application, and called me the next day when the underwriter decided they needed yet another piece of information. She forwarded it to them immediately and then called me and kept me informed of the status Exellent customer service! Thank you so much.

This branch should be closed for lack of staffing.

I went in to do a wire transfer a hour before close and there wasn't anyone on staff who could do it. I wasn't able to keep my word on a business deal.
They did tell me to have a good day on the way out. I guess that's good for 1 star since I couldn't leave a 0 Star review.

I called and the phone number on google just rings and eventually says the customer cant be reached. I tried multiple times. I am not sure if they closed this location or what but I called a different branch and they took care of me.
Do you need a debit card and checks? A safe place to save money you’ve earned? Or both? Check out our checking and savings account options to find the best one for you.
Checking accounts are used for day-to-day transactions, like buying something online or at a store with a debit card, sending money digitally, writing a rent check, or depositing cash and checks.
Savings accounts are more of a one-way street—a place to deposit money to save up for a goal or emergency fund.
You can open your new account any way you want. (Note that Truist CDs can only be opened at a branch.)
Online: Get started right away by opening your account online. You’ll have to wait a few days for your debit card and checks to arrive by mail—or you can visit a branch to get a temporary debit card ASAP.
Branch: Visit a branch near you during business hours to open your new account. Bonus—you’ll walk out with a ready-to-use temporary debit card with your new checking account.
Phone: Call us at 844-4TRUIST (844-487-8487). We’re available Monday through Friday, 8 am to 8 pm, and Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm.
