Hi my name is Brandon Jackson and I own a local cleaning company here in the triad area called Carden Clean. I wanted to know if any branches were looking for a cleaning company to clean some of the branches. I wanted to know who could I contact to go over our services. We would like to establish a relationship with local companies and help them invest back into the community by letting small businesses like myself grow by gaining contracts with companies in the area.
I’ve been a Sun Trust business customer for over 24 years. I’m trying to avoid having to find another bank, since Truist now puts a hold on every deposit I make. This is completely unacceptable
I called Sun Trust and they said the hold was released. I login the day after and sure enough, the entire deposit was there, and the checks I had written had cleared. I get a notice from a vendor two days later that their check had bounced. I log back into the account, and they declined one check, and paid another one, (they both had initially cleared) and put insufficient funds on one they had paid. I now have to make another deposit of $20,000+. I will see how this goes, if the funds on this one are held. Then that’s it. I think this looks like a good stock to short. If you don’t think your stock will take a dive. Think again.
Wow, after reading all the comments, my paltry loss of fees that were charged after closing an account pales by comparison
I will take my beating and move on, wish I had read these reviews prior
There has been a breach of confidential information by your BB&T banking system to my accounts and nothing is being done or has been done about it! I have written several letters to your office through the email on the website to no avail and keep getting the same response, thank you for your comments!
i am having a real issue with your bank, my mother expired in 2017, her last deposit was released to someone, that is not known by the family, they indicated they were her son, it was not received by anyone in the family, i have tried to find out who this person is, i have filed a report with the FTC for fraud. please look into this matter and get back with me, this is causing a lot of stress to me and i need some answers
peppy6801@ icloud.com hi, I PUT $50.000 IN MY SAFE DEPOSIT BOX, lost one key , went back one year later only $30.000 was in the box / person who found key in bank or outside bank took it, does this sound like an inside job ?
I’ve been banking with bb&t since 1995, great experiences in Montgomery county, especially the Silver Spring locations, and PG County locations. Last week for the first time I walked into this Fort Washington location and an Oriental clerk was giving a hard time to an old bb&t customer. I thought that will never happen to me, I was wrong, today I went back to the same bank and was treated even worst, I was there at 4:20 and the same teller told me they couldn’t do money wiring after 4 p.m. Also the bank manager was very rude and acted as if she was doing me a favor, ver bad actitud and very arrogant, next time I walk into that bank again is to close my account of 24 years with bb&t.

I been trying to get an issue taking care of with my money been taking out my account. first they told me it will be settled in 15days now they tell me it will take 120days this is the worst bank to bank with I wouldn’t recommend no one to do business with this company.

I have been banking with BB&T for so long I can’t remember. You have all of my personal and business accounts. I have been trying to renew a business loan that I have had with BB&T for several years. The loan came up for renewal in July 2018. It was passed around to BB&T in Winston then sent to the BB&T in Hildebran, then to a BB&T in Mountainview, now it’s at a BB&T in Maitland Florida. I know this loan was somewhat different and caused some issues but the lady that I am trying to work with at the BB&T in Florida is not the person I want to do business with, I’m not sure what the problem is their. Unhappy customer in Hickory North Carolina searching for a new bank to do business with.
It’s just very hard to get issues resolved at BB&T corporate level. I’ve been trying to get the same issue resolved for the past two months . I’ve spoken to a lady by the name of Terry Turner who has been absolutely no help; I will never do business with this company again.
Been with Bb&t for 25 years and just found out they have been stealing money from me for years. Tried to contact corporate and still not received a call
Moving my money tomorrow
I’ve been banking with the Dayton Va, BB&T branch for many years. The person I deal with the most is Rachel Fauls. She is always friendly, courteous, professional, and personable. At times, she is busy multi-tasking with customers in the bank and the drive through window. She never loses her cool, she maintains her professional demeanor at all times. Rachel has always let me know about new services and benefits of her own volition. Everyone in the Dayton branch is top notch as well. I really felt compelled to send up a positive flag on the customer service I’ve received over the years from Rachel and the rest of the Dayton BB&T employees.
Thank you so much,
Aaron R. Swindle
Dayton Va.

My wife and I have been a customer with Susquehanna Bank for over 40 years and now a customer of BB&T. We use your BB&T bank on Owings Mills, Blvd. Owings Mills Maryland 21117 which is 1 mile from our house. The problem is PARKING. An iHop Restaurant opened up directly across the driveway from the bank. Their customers invariably take BB&T parking spots. Why can’t someone from your corporate office call the Management Company and have this situation fixed. There just aren’t enough spots for BB&T customers. The problem is also no one is making sure that your parking spots are not taken by people who are visiting the restaurant.
The other complaint I have is you took out the coin machine from the Reisterstown Bank and never had one in the Owings Mills bank. After checking if any of the BB&T banks in the area had a coin machine we were told only your Westminster MD bank had one. So we drove 12 mile to the bank and discovered that you are allowed to count coins until they reach $25.01 and there is no charge. As soon as your count goes above that amount you “HAVE THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE 5% FEE USING THE COIN COUNTER”. Are you kidding me? You mean to tell me that such a LARGE bank as BB&T is, you cannot afford to have a coin machine counter for your customers? And, you want to charge us 5% for amount over $25.01? How disgusting and cheap can the bank be? I know you are going to tell me that people use all kind of metal while using the machines and they break down. Well can’t you have a decent machine in the bank and have the ability to pay for maintenance? We have a lot of money in BB&T and I personally want to take our money elsewhere but am having trouble with my wife doing this because she handles all the bills.
Your bank is the “CHEAPEST” and “POORLY RUN BANK THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF USING IN ALL MY 74 YEARS”! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!

Hello,
I have been using POP money for a once a month payment for the past seven months, Each month I have had problems and I’m tired of talking to the help desk and first level management. I spoke earlier today to Kathya Pareds, a manager on your help desk. I asked for a call back from her by days end with an update, at 5:40pm I am still waiting for that call back! I have left her two voice mails since early this morning. The follow up by Ms. Pareds tells me how important I am to BB&T!
I would like to speak to someone of authority, HQ needs to hear how your product, specifically POP money payments is working for BB&T customers. Please call me at 703-400-XXXXX
I have been going through a fraud claim on my account for 2 months now. It has finally been approved but no one can tell me where my money is!! My account was closed due to this and one of the representatives got upset because I kept asking questions that she had no answer to. She took it upon herself to permantely close my account which is definitely not righ. I have called, visited the local branch and done everything I need to do in order to recover my money. Yesterday I talked to eight different people and no one could give me any information. I have never received this kind of service from any intistution. I am the victim here but yet treated like I am the one who has done something wrong. This is my business account. I have been patient while they handle the fraud but why was my account closed? I was told that my money would be deposited back into the account and I could continue using it since I have so much of my business linked to it. I have made payment arrangements for my bills that are due thinking I would receive my money when they told me I would. I intend on suing the bank for pain and suffering and associates not following procedures and taking me through all of this. My business is suffering because of this. I have used my personal money to keep things afloat, trying to be patient. This has just gotten ridiculous! Please contact me asap about this issue because I can’t explain nor do I have the energy to even write all the things that’s happened to me! My case number is c-201705170787
I live in Mount Airy North Carolina (the town made famous by the Andy Griffith Show) I bank at the BB&T Branch Bank in Mount Airy NC at 2151 Rockford Street this BB&T Branch Bank has ben infiltrated by a very active group of female maniacal coward man haters I have become what this coward group of HATERS calls a “T I” or Target OF INTEREST and why have I been slandered and stalked for years because SIMPLE MINDS don’t need a good reason a one word reason will do and that word is HATE (COME AND GET ME)
I wrote a check to my landlord and it was stolen and cashed at another bank . The person that stole the check deposited it into their checking account , there was no name on the back of the check ,no signature ,no ID information at all ,yet the bank still allowed the check to be cashed.I thought that anyone who cashes a personal check had to produce some type of legal picture identification. I have never heard of such a slack financial Bank like this one. I am still waiting for my money to be returned to me.
i have a question that i would like to have answered pertaining to information about my account in your branch office in Indian Land SC on RT 521 i had a joint account which had $265,000.00 in it with my sister Mrs K Torricell who had and still has Dementia at the time of this writing. She was talked into withdrawing these monies out by her cleaning people who were hired by a women named Mourine Schutte to take care of her.
This women called your branch asking them to give her information about the above account claiming to be her temp care giver. My lawyer said that this info was not to be given out without asking me first due to the fact that its a joint account. Also this case is going into Probate Court in South Carolina and is also under investigation by the North Carolina Police the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. Also we have filed a counter claim about my care giver status with the probate court. i also informed your staff at the branch office about what was happening and they still gave out the information.
PLEASE REPLY TO THIS QUESTION AS SOON AS YOU CAN
THANKS ART DOUMTJES
P.S. THE MONIES THAT WERE WITHDRAWN BY THESE PEOPLE ARE MISSING NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN. DONT YOU THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THIS LARGE OF A WITHDRAWAL. THE PEOPLE AT THE BRANCH WANTED ME TO PROVE THAT I WAS MY SISTERS CARE GIVER EVEN IF I DID SO THEY STILL WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION. THATS LIKE CLOSING THE BARN DOOR AFTER THE COWS ARE GONE.
I recently went to your branch on atlantic blvd in Margate Florida and found this to be very interesting to say the least. I noticed a lack of christmas and channukah decorations in the lobby. I say a small christmas tree and a menorah in the way corner of the counter. I asked someone who works there what hapened to all the decorations that were put up prior years?
Reply
The manager doesn’t belive in xmas or holiday decorations due to his religious beliefs.
I thought it was for the customers not the employees. What kind of bank would respond like that.
You leave decisions up to the Manager that effect hoildays and customers equality.
I think you need to have a corp decision for all locations and stick to them.
It’s not right that a manager controls the branch based on his or her beliefs.
