I RATE THIS TRUIST BANK A ZERO. I was APPALLED with the poor and discriminating service I experienced at this Truist 514 Greenville Blvd SE, Greenville, NC. It was insulting and racist how the bank manager, Ms Forward, Mindy treated me. I simply went to Truist to cash a few U.S. Treasury Savings Bonds; because TRUIST BANKS ARE THE ONLY BANK THAT WILL CASH U.S. TREASURY SAVING BONDS FOR CUSTOMERS WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT. And, to my amazement the bank manager was completely ignorant of Truist's Savings Bond Policy. She insist that Truists' Policy, DOES NOT CASH SAVINGS BONDS WITHOUT A TRUIST ACCOUNT. She scrutinize me as if I was a criminal trying to pass-off fraudulent Savings Bonds. She took photos of my bonds, then asked for my social security number and ID. Then she inputted all my personal information on her PERSONAL CELLPHONE. I asked, 'Are you giving my personal information to someone who is not within this bank? Ms Forward replied, 'No, I'm not. I'm comparing 'your information' with OUR BRANCH OPERATIONS PARTNER WITH THE BANK.' ... Why?! What would she have to compare with, since I AM NOT A TRUIST CUSTOMER. This Truist Bank manager, Ms Forward was having my IDENTITY CHECKED, AS IF I WERE A CRIMINAL.
I WILL NEVER BECOME A TRUIST ACCOUNT HOLDER, NOR WOULD I RECOMMEND TRUIST! I DID NOT APPRECIATE BEING TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL... Then she went on her computer to find out the value of the bonds and after ALL OF THIS THIS MANAGER TOOK ME THROUGH SHE STILL WOULDN'T CASH THE SAVINGS BONDS THAT MY DEARLY DEPARTED MOTHER WORKED SO HARD TO PURCHASE AND SAVE FOR HER ONLY CHILD'S FUTURE.
What makes this ORDEAL so INSULTING and DEGRADING is that later that day I went to a different Truist Bank in Rocky Mount, NC and I approached them the same way I approached this Truist branch in Greenville, NC... 'Hi, I would like to cash a few U.S. TREASURY Saving Bonds.' I got the same response, 'Truist, DOES NOT CASH SAVINGS BONDS FOR NON-ACCOUNT HOLDERS'. I replied just as I did many times before, 'Yes, TRUIST BANK is the only bank that will cash U.S. Savings BONDS for Non-Account holders'. But, was I scrutinized like Greenville branch? NO. Both the teller and their bank manager simply called a number and got a fast definite, 'Yes', response. Not once was I insulted and Interrogated. Who I bank with? What brings me to this area? Who is the other person on the bonds? Who is NYNEX? What's your social security number, so they could ILLEGALLY SUBMIT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION OR KNOWLEDGE. read more
