We are somewhat new to Truist Bank. They became our bank when they took over Sun Trust. So far we are satisfied with their service. We are dealing with most of the same people from Sun Trust. They are very helpful and knowledgeable and offer suggestions to better serve you. The only complaint I have is with their automated phone system. It is NOT very user friendly! You have to be quick with your answer or it keeps asking the same question then hangs up on you.

Walked right in at 4:05. Was assisted by a friendly teller. Was out the door in approx 5 minutes. Nice clean environment with friendly faces.
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.
