SunTrust Banks

My name is Anthony Sands II, and my address is 331 NW 158th Ave, Pembroke Pines, Florida. I can be reached by phone at [protected].
I opened my account with SunTrust Bank, Pines at Paraiso 15701 Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Pines, FL 33027, their phone number is [protected].

I'm writing this letter as a formal complaint on SunTrust Bank. If you are not the correct Department to file this complaint, please let me know by emailing me at [protected]@gmail.com

It was very alarming and frustrating, not to mention embarrassing, to go to my bank to withdraw payroll funds and find out that my account had been frozen. It's even worse since I wasn't given any
form of notice, not a phone call, email or text, nothing. I was treated unfair, and as if I had no consumer rights or human rights. I believe I was singled out because of my skin color. Bank accounts are frozen for a number of different reasons, and each reason requires specific actions to unfreeze it. The following are the top three reasons why a bank account may be frozen. Banks may freeze bank
accounts if they suspect illegal activity such as money laundering, terrorist financing, or writing bad checks. I am not involved in any of the above.

In the United States, financial institutions must file a SAR if they think that an employee or customer has engaged in insider trading activity. They must also file a SAR if they detect potential money laundering or violations of the BSA. A SAR is required if a financial institution detects evidence of computer hacking or of a consumer operating an unlicensed money services business. To date I have
not been given a reason for my account being frozen. My funds where frozen, unfrozen, then frozen again. Community banks' racially discriminatory patterns are well documented when it comes to local branches and making loans. A recent study revealed that these practices are present even in the
most basic of products: entry-level checking accounts. I opened a personal and a business checking account with Suntrust Bank, only to be discriminated against. Before writing or calling the Federal Reserve, as a consumer I was encouraged to try to settle the problem with the financial institution
first. I tired to speak directly with senior bank management and the bank's customer service representative for assistance and was told someone would get back with me at a later time. I'm still waiting for assistance. I opened both a business and a personal account with Suntrust back on 6/4/20. I then made a wire transfer from my account with Space Coast Credit Union on 6/5/20. On 6/8/20 I made a wire transfer from Suntrust business account to my accountant who handles the payroll for my company Appetite For Everything Inc. I was informed maybe a week later that my account was being closed with no reason given. After weeks of calling and threatening to get lawyers involved, I received a check for the remaining funds that was in my account prior to it being closed.
Upon attempting to deposit the check into my business account with another financial institution, the check was returned for refer to maker. I started calling again to find out why, but no answer has
been given to date.
