Product: Checking or savings account

This is one of several instances of being charged an overdraft fee for a transfer to the Truist Savings account from Truist Checking Account of the same client. On XX/XX/XXXX account had to remain at XXXX after transactions. 

The checking account was originally set up to transfer {$25.00} to saving funds ( XXXX ) separate accounts for $ XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, after all transactions were debated, the bank decided to transfer {$25.00} into the Truist Saving accounts ( 3 ) separate transactions from the Truist Checking account that only had {$22.00} in the account.

This caused three separate overdraft fees of {$36.00} XXXX. 

Issue # 1 is if the money is not there, what was being transferred into the accounts?

Issue # 2 This is the 3rd time I have called to address this very issue over the last year.

The first time I was told I did not have overdraft protection which I signed up for online. Which I did online but was subsequently told I could not do it for savings accounts.

I signed up that day with an overdraft for checking. 

On XX/XX/XXXX was told I opted out in XXXX. That was true, but I opted back in the last time I incurred these fees in XXXX of XXXX, and XXXX did the same thing. 

I was told that this charge occurred because I did not manually turn it off in the system on my side of the banking. 

This was incorrect because they walked me through the process the last time I had this issue. 

The issue is charging a fee for transfer as a Truist Client. I would think not that the bank has my best interest in mind as its client as I am aware the only interest they have is of their financial gain.

However, to take money from your institution due to a faulty feature I have had issues with and refuse to return the overdrafts and act as if it's a courtesy is wrong. If the money was not there, what is being transferred? The transfer should not have occurred. 

I could not go to another bank and transfer any amount if the money is not in the other institution. It would simply say insufficient funds and deny the charge.
