SunTrust Bank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

This complaint is about the fees my bank charged for a wire transfer, not the transfer itself. I did some business with a company - and they pay through wire transfer. I had the money wired to my SunTrust account. The remitting bank - provided a receipt showing that they remitted $9100.00 - to SunTrust. When I received the deposit, $30.00 - was missing, but then SunTrust charged me $15.00 separately for a domestic '' wire transfer. SunTrust publishes an incoming international wire transfer fee of $30.00. When I questioned the double charge - $30.00 off the top and $15.00 extra ), SunTrust said they did not charge the $30.00. After several emails and phone calls, someone looked at the trail and determined that the incoming wire transfer came through - bank and SunTrust received $9100.00. My guess is that SunTrust uses - to process their international wire transfers since they are not an international bank. The Swift code for SunTrust was used but it obviously went through - first, which shaved the published $30.00 fee off the transaction. My main concern is that in the process of receiving my money, $30.00 disappeared and I have no receipt or explanation for it. The fact that I was charged $15.00 for a domestic '' wire transfer between the bank SunTrust uses for international transfers and SunTrust itself is double-dipping and criminal. These transactions should be transparent and all fees should be disclosed up front. I would have been fine giving SunTrust the published $30.00 for the international wire transfer, but the fact that another bank ( that I am not a customer of ) got that and then I was charged $15.00 for a domestic transfer is the issue. It 's dishonest and needs to be stopped.
