Truist Savings Accounts

This bank has the worst process to transfer money to CD. It took the banker over 45 minutes just to get through the paperwork to transfer some money from my savings to my checking. So lame. My credit union took

I would give them zero stars if I could. If you are considering opening an account online DON’T! I opened a money market account. Money was transferred out of my bank on Sept 18. Almost immediately I was locked out of the account. I called and told my account was flagged for fraud. No one could tell me why or answer any of my questions. Long story short Suntrust has my money for 44 days-all of which I had no access to the money. Finally got a check and no explanation of why the account was closed. STAY AWAY!

I have been banking with BB&T since before with Susquehanna Bank. I have never been very happy with BB&T, especially since no one in my local branch with whom I had a relationship is still there.

I had opened a savings account 2 yrs ago for the specific purpose of transferring money into it from my Vanguard account. Money never stayed in the account and it was almost always at a zero balance. This purpose was explained to the banking person who opened it. For almost 2 yrs there was never an issue.

10 days ago, I transferred money from Vanguard. On Tuesday, I checked my BB&T accounts on-line and the account I set up to accept the money from Vanguard was gone. Upon calling my local branch, I was told it had a $0 balance in it for 2 mths and at the discretion of the bank, it was closed. I was furious. I had never been contacted. I had never been told I needed to keep any amount of money in the account or I would have.

Now, what is really eregious is that the money has still not been rejected by BB&T and returned to Vanguard. It will take up to 2 weeks to be returned to Vanguard!!! So, they can sit on my money and make interest. I was not able to use the money for the purpose for which I originally transferred it. And, I am not able to make money on it in my Vanguard account.

I would be very careful if deciding to bank with BB&T to find out what exactly you are getting into.

Been with Sun Trust for over 32 years, great service. It is banking with confidence, never had a problem. I plan to stay with Sun Trust. If it's not broke stay with it. Here is how you get 200 characters you all get an A+ for your fine service.

I used to bank with BB&T for years, but one day I lost my job and my deposits stopped coming in. Once I had paid my bills, I had only a few dollars left in my account, which BB&T promptly took for "fees" because I wasn't depositing at least $200/ month, and then closed my account without warning. When I went in to ask about why my account was closed, the receptionist took my atm card and cut it into pieces. I exchanged swears and left very upset.

I opened this account a few years ago when my old bank started requiring an automatic deposit to avoid a monthly fee. I am a stay at home mom and this was my personal account. I just use it for money I make selling items so there isn't a whole lot of cash flow. I am so glad that I was able to find a bank willing to let me just have a small balance account and not charge me a monthly fee! I do wish that the interest rate was a little higher so that is the only reason that I gave it four stars and not five.

I like using the BB&T savings account, I currently have 3 accounts as part of their eSavings, I use them for different things. The website is well laid out and everything is easy to find and use.

They have check images so you can see who the check was from/to, they have pending payments, auto payments to utilities, and recurring payments that you can set up to pay other types of accounts.

I have used PNC, Everbank, and TD, I think that BB&T is on par with the better designed sites.

One complaint that I have is that they charge you for making an external transfer to another bank.

I wish they would give a little more in interest.

SunTrust Bank Advantage Money Market is a great place to securely hold your money. I have had a Money Market account with them for several years, and while it doesn't have an overwhelming rate of return, it does guarantee that your money will not get lost in the stock market. You can get it when you need it, while making a little bit of interest. Good stuff! You can't beat the security, when the stock market fluctuates every day, you know that your money is safe. This is where we saved our money for the down payment on our house.

I love Suntrust Bank. I have two checking accounts, my wife has a checking account, and we share a savings account. The savings account acts as a bridge to my two checking accounts and my wife's checking account. It easily allows us to park money we are trying not to touch and to jointly be involved with our saving process. It can almost become like a competition between us when putting money into savings. The only real drawback is that they do charge a fee each month, but this is easily avoided by having at least $5 deposited automatically, from another account, at the start of each month. Also, there is a limit of two withdrawals a month, which in my opinion actually helps deter random withdrawals without pausing to think if it is really worth going into your savings for.

I opened up a savings account after I moved away from home. BB&T Savings was always a household name with my family. The customer service is excellent. Always there when you need them and very friendly. The process was so simple. No hassel at all. Made it easier to feel more independent being out on my own and able to save for what ever things I needed. I was able to work part time and go to college. Having the secure savings account with BB&T Branch made me feel my money was safe & secure. I would recommend anyone wanting to start their savings, trust it with BB&T..I am a happy customer after all these years..Thank you!
