I called on a Saturday, as I had a text that I "received a payment,"

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

I waited a while, then hung up, since I knew I could talk to someone in the [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA] office on Monday. On Tuesday. Monday was Memorial Day, and the bank was appropriately closed.

On Tuesday, I spoke with Purple, who said the payment was in my account.

User's recommendation: Be aware of holidays and be patient.

Held a cashier's check

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Mobile deposit of $1,926.07 via cashier's check on Feb 2.
  • Funds are held until Feb 11.
  • Overdraft and late fees accrue; this affects bills and medicine.
Updated by user Feb 24, 2026

Now they are hold every check for fraud. They are holding them and not putting them in my account and sending them back.

Updated by user Feb 09, 2026

Still receiving overdrafts. My deposit is being eaten away with overdrafts 1454.35 to be exact.

Updated by user Feb 08, 2026

Truist holding the cashier's check has given me 300 more in overdrafts and since not able to get medication because of cashier's check on hold I had to go to the emergency room being without my medication for a week. Truist continues to endanger my health and life.

Updated by user Feb 06, 2026

A complaint filed with the CFPB and they notified Truist of the complaint. I received an email from Truist notifying me they were looking into it. That was 4 days ago and the cashier's check is still on hold and I am being charged overdrafts and still not able to get my medication and I am feeling not having the medicine for 4 days.

Original review Feb 06, 2026
On February 2nd, a mobile deposit was made of a cashier's check on the account in the amount of $1,926.07. Truist Bank is holding the deposit until the 11th.

In the meantime, I am being charged overdraft fees and am not able to pay bills, so I am also being charged late fees on the bills. I am also not able to pay for my medicine.

Truist has been nothing but problems for me as a senior on disability. The mobile deposit was made because I can't drive.
Loss:
$500
Cons:
  • Security is just a way to control your money
  • Truist controls how you spend your money

Preferred solution: All overdrafts and late fees. Also pain and suffering because the company is endangering my health and life.

User's recommendation: Don't bank with Truist

Subsequently went to local branch with bills and ID. CC in wife’s name but we believe we were advised during previous calls that I was shown as “authorized user.” Nevertheless, person at the bank said he couldn’t help either.

SHE would have to come in personally! Videoed giving him the same UC Notice.Will see them in Court.

Original review Jan 23, 2026
Received a bill for a credit card we didnt recognize. One suspicious charge.
Contacted the bank.

Reported the issue.
Then received a follow-up bill with interest for unpaid charge using A DIFFERENT CARD NUMBER! Now that alone should send up warning flags.
Called the banks fraud line. Gave them all the personal information they needed, including SS# and DOB.
Ok, the dummy on the other end says, what is the 5th to last dumber of the card? Recall that everything is done using last 4 of SS# and last 4 of credit cards.

Look at you CC bill: it will always only have last 4.

She wants last 5!
Of course because we believe this is a fake card not one we ever had and now Truist has even changed the number on the second bill we dont have any way of knowing the 5th number. I explain that hard reality, to which she says, Sorry, cant help you.
Before she could disconnect I said (to the recorded line), this is the banks formal notice under the Uniform Commercial Code that the card is not ours AND the charge is fraudulent.
If the card may be fake and the charge potentially fraudulent, it is inexplicable why Truists fraud protection department is unwilling to address the obvious problem, preferring to demand information which if we are correct we wouldnt have!

Preferred solution: Fraud department to do its job!

User's recommendation: Never open any Truist credit card.

Avoid Truist Bank at All Costs

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Acquisitions created infrastructure gaps and customer chaos.
  • Ten+ years of on-time payments; notices say late, 11 calls and 5 emails.

After more than 10 years as a loyal business customer, I am beyond disappointed with Truist Bank and I am done.

Truist has aggressively acquired other banks over the years, but it is painfully clear that the infrastructure and systems were never properly put in place to support that growth. The result?

Complete chaos for customers like me.

My issue started when I began receiving notices that my payments were late payments I had been making on time for over a decade. When I called to get answers, the customer service representatives could not even locate my account number. Let that sink in: my bank of 10+ years could not find my account.

What followed was an exhausting, unresolved nightmare. I made 11 phone calls and sent 5 emails.

Eleven calls. Five emails. And the problem remains unresolved to this day.

Not one representative took ownership of the issue, followed through, or provided a meaningful resolution. Each call felt like starting from scratch.

Unfair Credit Card practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Card payment rose from $41 to $110.55; no reason.
  • Offers included $32/mo for 5 years or $73/mo; reviewer is senior on Social Security.
Updated by user Oct 25, 2025

Be warned on this credit card the interest rate will change without notice. The Bank will not work with you, at all––ever! Such unprofessional behavior, hanging up on me, never calling back, giving false statements, etc.

Original review Oct 10, 2025
We've had to use the credit card a lot because we have been dealing with some major financial issues. I am hanging on by a thread.

I pay my bills every month early and never miss a payment. I have good credit and am trustworthy. But my payment went from $41 to $110.55 in a few days. They could not explain why this happened.

When we called, we spoke to a gal named Amber who said we could stop the credit card and pay a small payment of $32.00 for a low interest rate over 5 years until the card is paid in full. We would talk it over and get back to her. When I called today, I spoke with a different woman who said no, that payment would be $73 a month.

We are senior citizens; I barely make enough money with SS to live on, and now they are doing this to me. My only option is to cancel my auto insurance or else I will be left with zero money to live on for over 30 days.
Cons:
  • Bank cares about their bottom line and not people

Preferred solution: Help me with a lower payment. I was paying $41. Why did you do this to me?

User's recommendation: DO NOT GET A CREDIT CARD WITH TRUIST BANK

No. Not over my limit

Guest

Are you over your credit limit? If no, it sounds like you used a lot of available credit on your chair issue.

Once your outstanding balance reaches a certain percentage and only monthly minimum payments are made, that triggers concern and they may have re-evaluated your credit report and your interest rate to the penalty rate. It was a bad idea to post here as your issue lacks any details. This isn’t a private link to your credit card. It’s a third party forum for thousands of companies.

3+ million visitors a month view posts and all can comment. Also, no one commenting works for the bank. IF the bank responds it will be directly to the email you provided OR their comment’s username will be their company name highlighted in blue. You need to go back and view the $110+ bill and look at outstanding balance and interest rate.

Then compare it to the previous bill’s $41 due outstanding balance and interest rate.

Your problem is what triggered that increase, not a $32 vs $73 resolution dispute. By the time you called, they should have explained the reason for the new amount due.

You lash out at others for replying, but you own this situation. If you don't want people to reply, stop posting in a public website.

Who are you? Tell me, please what is it like to be so perfect?

Wow, I've actually never met a perfect person who never made a mistake, and was the only HUMAN being allowed to judge another and while you are at it kick someone when they are down. Tell me something, do you work for the bank? Ahhh, that is it isn't it. You work for those people.

Honey, you obviously are young and know very little about life, just like those twenty year olds that think they can be life coaches because it's an easy way to make money. The fools know nothing, like you!!!

Put on your pious rob and judge the world you small-minded, judgmental child having a temper-tantrums, minding someone else's business, when you can't even take care of your own. I am no longer replying to your ignorance.

Another fake, broke and dusty old cow. You come off as some kind of gentle victim but the second you're pressed, you start with the nonsense and of course the passive aggressive curses.

And yes, you do want people to go through what you're going through. Where's your kids? Why don't you ask them for money? Have they estranged themselves and left you to your own devices.

It's quite simple, you agreed to something, someone who was probably trying to get you off of the phone made a mistake.

The mistake was caught by the computer. They aren't going to wait for you to pay up.

Guest

"Bank cares about their bottom line and" And your point is what? That's what banks do.

You knew that you didn't have any money when you took their card and accepted their terms of service. Absolutely no ONE cares that you're a senior. One would think that you would have known better and have a way to pull yourself up by those bootstraps.

I suggest that you not drive without auto insurance and turn around and hit someone. If you do, I hope that you get pulled over and face another "cold and uncaring" situation that YOU created for yourself.

Guest

How is this unfair credit card practice, you're broke and can't pay your bills. Sounds like you need to reduce your spending.

Because they should not offer something they cannot follow through. If you make an offer, DON'T say yes and then say NO.

Because that is bad business practices. Duh!!!!!! And God help you, I hope you never have to live on such small income you have to decide if you will eat or pay your bills. The reason we ran the bill up is because we don't have enough money to eat!!!!!!!!

My husband's chair broke, HE IS DISABLED and we had NO CHOICE but to purchase him a new chair. But really, that is non of your business.

And FYI we are living on very little money. Don't comment on people's post without knowing all the facts!!!!

Truist Financial - Complaint regarding Scamming
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to inform you that I have been scammed. The circumstances that led to this scam are as follows:

1. I was invited to the conference on Supply Chain Management and Sustainability, CSCMS, 2024, which will be held in Tallahassee, Florida, USA, from Wednesday, June 5th, 2024 to Saturday, June 8th, 2024.

2. The name of the person who invited me is Diane Flores, and she claims to be a member of the organizing committee. The conference is said to be funded by the Association of Private Business Owners.

3. I accepted the invitation and downloaded the registration form from the Association of Private Business Owners website. I filled out the form and attached my passport-sized picture as required, along with the VISA-sized picture.

4. I scanned the documents and forwarded them to secretary@***.org or info.assopbo@***.com. The documents needed to confirm your participation are as follows: a completed Delegate Registration Form, a scanned copy of the Data Page of an international passport, hotel booking confirmation or proof of accommodation in the US, and a colored passport photo.

5. My registration was confirmed and forwarded to my email.

6. The registration number is CSCMS2024/SN272, confirmed on 29th March 2024.

7. On 1st May, I received the VISA authorization letter from Attorney Ashley Moody.

9. On Friday, May 3rd, 2024, I was asked to fill out the Travel Insurance form, which I submitted.

10. On Wednesday, May 8th, 2024, I paid the Traveler Insurance fee.

11. On Wednesday, May 15th, 2024, the payment was confirmed by Tallahassee Mutual Insurance Company (Mrs. Heather Dumas, the Financial Manager).

12. On May 16th, I was asked to send the following details to the American Airline Authority: the scanned copy of my international passport, residential address and P.O. Box, personal e-mail address/telephone number, the name of the international airport close to me, the intended dates of travel (arrival and departure), and the Travelers Insurance Bond Certificate from Tallahassee Mutual Insurance Company.

13. On 21st May 2024, the United States Tax Court advised me to pay the total amount for both the refundable deposit and U.S Tax Court Legalization Authentication Documents, which was (1,341.00 DOLLARS). The due date was Saturday, May 25th, 2024.

I have attached all the necessary documents for your consideration.

Warm Regards,

Kenneth Matizakurima

Your letter is well written. I had no idea that it was so much trouble to visit ; that situation as you described stinks of scam.

You've probably learned that you've got to investigate anyone from overseas requesting money for any reason. Also, read the laws and rules for yourself since you are obviously intelligent ; you will understand.

Don't take somebody's word who is trying to separate you from your money, especially if it is someone who "found you" ; i.e. you did not solicit or contact yourself in the first place.

Truist jerked me around about a replacement for an outdated check. The person who took the information did not call back.

Tried a few times, and still no calls. Went to the bank but needed an appointment because there is only one person working in the empty bank. Closed the account, and notice when I drive by, there are no people in line, and no cars at the entrance. The bank close by has two lanes open, and helping customers.

May I suggest closing your Truist bank account, and find another bank you can trust. Truist is truly a twisted bank.
