History Of SunTrust Bank
SunTrust Bank was established on September 21, 1891, originally called Trust Company of Georgia. Over the decades, the bank underwent several name changes, notably adopting the name Trust Company Bank in 1974 and later becoming SunTrust Bank in 2000. The bank expanded significantly through numerous acquisitions, including First National Bank of Gwinnett and Crestar Bank in 2000, and multiple institutions in Georgia and Florida during the 2000s. Noteworthy among its acquisitions was First Priority Bank in Bradenton, Florida, completed as part of a government-assisted merger in August 2008. SunTrust continued to grow until its merger with Branch Banking and Trust Company in December 2019, culminating in the formation of Truist Financial Corporation, with the corporate headquarters located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Bank Reviews & Complaints
Submit your comment, review or complaint about SunTrust Bank.
Sending a tow truck shining their lights into my house at 130AM scaring my kids by having somebody walk my yard is bullying. Having an unidentified truck at my fence warranted a 911 call with cops swarming my street. Wasted resources!!! Your bank needs a better system when dealing with divorced couples and SOMETIMES you have to talk to the other party to resolve issues.
