Second Truist bank I’ve sat in for 30 mins and no help offered. They helped people who came in after me and only said smthn to me after I had to get up and ask can I please be next. Just to find out the banker couldn’t even help me open a business account because she was gttn ready for lunch.

“Let me explain this to you because you don’t understand” is not the best thing to say to a client, whether they do or do not actually understand. Every time I’ve come to this branch I have left with absolutely nothing accomplished. This time I left with a good cry in the car after.

I banked with them for 10 years. When I went to college in Virginia, I had an account there (they were the only ATM around) and during my four years in VA, customer service was always good whenever I had a problem or fraud issues. No issues with the employees at this branch or others when I returned to NC, nor had a deposit improperly credited to my account. Then in 2011, BB&T did away with free checking and the quality of customer service slowly began to decline. In 2015, I politely tried to get an overdraft fee (which was my fault) reversed through the mail (after failing over the phone) and was refused. Also felt like I was jumping through hoops each month to keep the fee waived and the wait times on Phone24 were incredibly long. After opening an account at a local credit union, I closed my BB&T account in October 2015. The employees were very nice throughout the process, but the bank needs a wakeup call... stop feeing your customers to death!

You can open your new account any way you want. (Note that Truist CDs can only be opened at a branch.)

How do you activate your debit card?
A debit card gives you the freedom to make digital purchases and in-person payments using the cash in your checking account—but you'll need to activate it first. Activate your card online.
