SunTrust Banks, Inc. Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Savings account Account opening, closing, or management

Savings account Account opening, closing, or management Georgia

After moving money around between my various Suntrust accounts, I spent a lot of time trying to find the fee schedules for all my various accounts to make sure I did n't incur any service charges for low balances, etc.. I found there is no easy way to see the fee schedule for a specific account. There is a pdf online that shows the fees for the current products offered, but I have a bunch of older account types. I discovered that I had several $15.00 charges on my money market account starting last - because, while the current money market account being offered waives fees regardless of balance if an automatic checking transfer is in place, my older account did not. It 's hard for a consumer to avoid fees when Suntrust only publishes the fee schedules for the currently offered account types. I had to threaten to close all my accounts and move to another bank if those fees were n't refunded. A customer service rep refunded - of the - $15.00 charges, but said that 's all they could do? I would like the other $15.00 charge refunded as well. But, most of all, I would like


I see 2 possible solutions : 1 ) Make the fee schedule for each account easily accessible - even when those account types are no longer part of the current retail offering 2 ) Transition account types that are no longer offered automatically to new account types where the fee schedules are easily accessible. How is a customer supposed to know when their account type has become a legacy product and no longer important enough to offer an easily accessible fee schedule? BTW, how hard is it given the state of technology to give some sort of a warning to customers when they do something that is about to incur a fee ( with a link to the fee schedule for their specific account )? I get plenty of correspondence from Suntrust trying to sell me additional products and services. How about something I can actually use - like a notification that my balance has fallen below a certain level and I will be charged if nothing is done by a specific date.
