This branch refused to release money to me from my business account even though I provided them with my ID and debit card info. I’m the only on the account. They required me to provide my passport. Who travels domestically with their passport and carries it in their purse? The manager could have overridden the request and refused. Only had to come in to a branch after Zelle refused to allow me to send money. Down the street, Bank of America treated me like royalty. They were incredibly kind and helpful, accommodating my extenuating circumstances of needing to travel quickly and purchase a vehicle for my family after an injury. They had a tool they used to scan my ID and verify it’s legit. No problem with that! Verify all day! Bank of America helped me with my $17k wire transfer while Truist still holds my $3k hostage. We came out of pocket for a family member who was sitting with $6 in his account because of Truist’s horrendous customer service. Just honestly unnecessary and unbelievable to be treated like some sort of criminal and literally not be able to access your own funds. I will be removing funds as soon as I get home and would never recommend anyone bank with them.

Truist charged me nearly $800 in bank fees for canceling its merchant processing servicer (and other misc fees), involuntarily (and prematurely) closed my business operating account, and then (without authorization) took money out of a separate trust (as in off limits) account. I highly recommend that you NOT do business with Truist, and most certainly not this location.

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.
