Unable to receive OTP

I want to open an account with SunTrust Bank, after inputting my BVN number, an OTP was said to have been sent to my BVN sim card which is active but after waiting for minutes i didn't receive any OTP from them. I feel their portal needs to be arranged properly and a feedback sent to me via email so i can proceed with opening the account.

Nothing, no phone call or communication with SunTrust, they lack severely in customer service especially from the top. SunTrust (Truist) is the worst Bank ever, they are supporting criminality and will not discuss anything fraudulent with customers, They will not discuss or talk to customers about fraud inside their Bank.

People please listen, if nothing else, close your account and go, this Bank has unethical behavior and are not trustworthy, they take from you, not give. SunTrust knows already this is fraud but refuses to return my money which was a loan that I am now paying back without the loan money. They blamed Chase first, and I have talked to Chase Bank, and have emails from Chase more than I do SunTrust, they were very concerned and did their own investigation, in two weeks, they were not the Bank of First, SunTrust was, already have that information.

SunTrust lies, cheats and steals from customers, they are more about money and greed than customer service, run people run, this can happen to you. SunTrust is the most pathetic business ever, they really need to be investigated by the Feds, never knew the history of unhappy people and people who are fighting this business to get their money, this was an eye opener, if you are a victim of fraud they will fight to keep your money.

Original review Dec 03, 2021
On October 8, 2021, found out through an email from SunTrust my account ending in 7184 was overdrawn, knew that was a mistake because on October 5, 2021, I had a loan deposited for 4512.48. I was in New Jersey at the time for an interview for employment, the loan was for my moving expenses.

The check 655 was originally made for 115.00 dollars to First Premier Bank for a credit card bill for my son. This was mailed from Columbia Md on September 17, 2021, sometime after that, the check was stolen, whitewashed, and deposited by mobile device on October 7, 2021, at 7:23pm for $4503.00, resulting in the money being taken out of my account on October 8, 2021. The bank never notified me or called me once, I have had to initiate, every phone call. It was not until I filed a complaint with CFPB that I received a phone call which was lots of I am sorry, but no solution.The deposit was made on October 5, 2021, and by October 8, 2021in the morning after the check was deposited on October 7, 2021, at 7:23pm all but 9.00 dollars was gone.

How did they know? Maybe an inside tip, and I am going to pay for SunTrust negligence? Then SunTrust decided to blame Chase Bank, who is done with their investigation, come to find out it was SunTrust who was the Bank of First not Chase.

Whoever decided this was my handwriting and allowed this deposit to go through so quickly without question, should lose their job. In my opinion this was intentional, and the timeline tells me so, funds were released too quickly, less than 12 hours.

User's recommendation: Run from this Bank, SunTrust (Truist) they are unethical, customer service is horrible, and they will keep your money, even if it is fraud, and they know your handwriting. Their definition of investigation is a joke, they will never take responsibility for their negligence.

Poor Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I called last week before all the changes, about an charge. I was on hold for over an hour, just to speak to a CSR.

Furthermore, I also took screenshots of hold time. When I spoke with a CSR about the charge, she stated she was transferring me to someone else. I waited on hold for over 3 min. before I hung.

I never heard any background music as if I was on mute.

I called today and waited again for over an hour. Today I understood the wait time due to changing over to Truist. I spoke with CSR, and she was very polite but not knowledgeable. I was told my banks was open after, telling her I went twice today.

She also said I could send cash through a third party bank's ATM as long I was using my Truist debit card. I attempted to try, like a nut. I went to the drive thru window and told them what CSR suggested I do. She stated, that can never happen and offered me to join their bank.

I been attempting to put money in my account since Saturday. I'm not happy with Truist at all and will be shopping around.

never received the title to a vessel

My loan was paid off in mid January 2020. I have nothing showing that the loan was paid off, therefore I have no title for my vessel and trailer.

Im in the process of selling the vessel and trailer so I need my title. What I have is an account number, but your telephone system doesn't recognize it so I can't get through to anyone at SunTrust..
