Consumer Narrative
Truist bank should have a back up method that allows clients to close their account even during a system failure by using XXXX XXXX instead and ever since the merger they have been very consistent with their system failure issues this not the first time but yesterday XX/XX/22 not only their branch level system was down even their ATM so no one was able to take their own money out or close their account and the branches didnt provide any work around so their was no other method inplace to help the client access their money during system issues, as a large bank this is a un excused matter how could they keep clients money away from being accessed one will think its their way to show a growth in the cash balance collected by holding the funds for the most part of the day to help with their own financial needs its been like that ever since the merger I would like to sue the bank for such matter, they have done the same by not allowing us to access our accounts through our bank cards or even online and they also blame it on the merger its time that they pay for not allowing us to access our hard earned money they should have had a back up plan in place but instead they invested on the new logo not on how to prevent clients not having access to their own money
