I wish I read the SunTrust review on this site when I started the account with SunTrust. It's been a long and painful experience but I didn't have the time to close the account and transfer my customers. So, I had to endure it for 2 years. No more.
1. When I open the acct, the bank associates do not know anything about business banking. So, she had to call back office for every little thing. Took 2 hours at the bank to open an account. The bank associate (not teller) does not know what ACH is. Nice.
2. Then the online banking password was sent to me only when I visit the site physically. And when I am at the bank, they sent me the password that I have to login within 24 or 48 hours. I can't login at the bank (no computer), so I have to go home to do it. And if there is anything wrong, I have to go back to the bank. I didn't know the rule. So, basically spent time coming back and forth 3 times to get online banking setup.
3. The website is not user friendly. Can't pay other people easily using the site.
4. Other Accounting tool (Qickbook, Xero) can integrate directly with MT&T but not with SunTrust. I have to export manually every month and upload to SunTrust.
5. To login to SunTrust, your browser needs to have Trusteer tool. Unfortunately Trusteer updates their software every month or so. And everytime, you have to research why you can't login, download the new Trusteer (no auto update), and clear cache and login again.
6. When I asked to add my wife to the business, MT&T bank gave me a Signature Card to sign. But SunTrust Bank Associate and Manager told me that I need to go home and create a letter-head letter to add request adding my wife. Why don't they make it convenient for their clients to have a form ready for their clients to sign right there? Why do I need to go back home and come back with a letterhead? That's when I said enough is enough and close a large account with them.
7. To cover their butt, the associate told the manager that they referred my case to legal. I advise them to send their legal to me so they can have an earful. What a junkie business they have.
If you desire any convenience for your business, stay away from SunTrust. read more
