We despise banks for the simple reason we were stabbed in the back again!
We avoid banks as much as possible to avoid the nit-picking fees that they apply and cold hearted employees we always end up communicating with. But unfortunately you need a large national bank to cash a large check or for a few other reasons. Same as always they have applied several unnecessary overdrafts after we set account to not overdraft!
Resulting in hundreds of dollars in fees and account being closed!
Now we have a $50,000 + check which they took a week (should have been 24 hours at most) to hang out now for weeks!
Thanks Truist for keeping up the Big Bank Theory true as always!

Efficient, knowledgeable, courteous and respectful. That’s a summary of my experience with Lisa Lane. Great banker, great person. Truist is fortunate to have employees like her. Look forward to seeing her again with more business.
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.
