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.
