Slowest bank in the world. One car ahead of me in drive through and it took 30 minutes.

It's like you have beg these people to let people handle your money. It's the weirdest dynamic I've ever seen. I've had some okay encounters with the tellers, but I've tried to reach management 4 times in the past 2 days and have gotten no response. Luckily other branches are an option.

Called (3 times) and left messages re opening a new account in addition to another active account we currently have. Finally got through (no one ever returned our call) and was told to just “come down anytime “.
Upon arrival we were told to wait for a banker. Waited 30 minutes, the banker comes out of her office and states”no, you need an appointment”. No one else even waiting in the branch.
Will be closing our current account and certainly not giving them another.
Zero customer service in person and they don’t return calls. Save yourself the frustration and go elsewhere.
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.
