Consumer complaint received 2024-11-27 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Managing an account — Problem with renewal
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I do not purchase equities ; rather I rely on CDs so I am very experienced with bank and FCU CD policies. 

Normally, I check the bank website to see the CD rates before making a decision about rollovers. 

Because I have a number of CDs I do have trouble keeping track of rollover dates and roll over policies. In my experience, if I fail to contact the bank about my rollover request, it automatically rolls over at some rate less than the teaser rate ; for example 3.5 % rather than 4 %. I can live with that policy. 

I recently discovered that the Truist bank policy is to rollover my 4 % CD to 0.05 %. After failing to meet that deadline, my only option was to close the CD outside the grace period and pay a {$23.00} penalty. I did check the bank website and confirmed that the going rate was 4 % but I did not look at all the terms and conditions, expecting a small penalty e.g 3.5 % for a routine roll-over. 

Effectively, this policy means that I am held hostage to the bank and can not leave the country for more than 10 days because I might fail to contact the bank during the 10 day roll over grace period. Also I had a total of 4 CDs currently at Truist Bank but I was never informed directly ( verbally ) about this rollover rate of 0 %. Some were rollovers when I visited the bank to add money to the CD. Because my total funds were approaching the FDIC limit, I had to cease adding funds to the CD at each rollover. Hence my surprise at this policy, new to me. 

It appears that the routine mail reminder that the CD was to mature within a couple of weeks does have some details on this policy but I obviously did not look closely at it, as I expected to receive a small penalty but not a penalty of 0 %. 

. It is classic bait and switch tactics and unprofessional for a bank that apparently pretends to have the best interests of their customers in mind for all transactions.

The agent stated a letter was mailed to me but I do not recall ever receiving it and my billing address is correct. The agent refused to waive and/or reverse the fee. I immediately told her that I DO NOT accept the change in terms and as a result I wanted to close my account.
