The bank manager was not knowledgeable about a service I needed at the north Asheville merrimon avenue location and I went to another branch and got the help I needed. The manager here did not possess basic grammar skills to communicate with me- I was astounded at the lack of professionalism at this branch and will not return.

1-Star Review: Poor Communication and Lack of Professionalism
I applied for an auto loan through Truist and was told I’d receive a response within 24 to 48 hours. Not only did I never get a response, but the representative I spoke with gave me her direct number and assured me I could reach her easily. I left four voicemails and two emails — not a single reply within the promised timeframe.
This isn’t an isolated incident either. Over a year ago, I applied for a $4,000 personal loan and the exact same thing happened: no communication, no update, no courtesy follow-up. I had to physically go into the branch after a week just to find out the status.
To be clear, this review isn’t about being denied — I fully understand that not all applications are approved. What bothers me is the complete lack of customer service, follow-through, and basic respect for my time. If a bank can’t even let you know you were denied or keep their word about being available, it says a lot about how they treat customers.
I won’t be returning to Truist for any financial needs, and I suggest others think twice before trusting them with theirs.

I will never go back to this location! I was discriminated against and it was very hurtful. I had my debit card and driver's license to show to teller so I could withdraw my money. And he literally held my money and made me answering all these questions to verify me! I have never been through this. Treated me like a criminal! Wow can't believe people are actually like this.
