BB&T checks are not worth their face value unless you have an account with them if you go to a BB&T branch to try and cash one and it’s their check. They take $5.00 off their own checks as if they are made of bouncy ball rubber and there is some risk involved. I guess taking $3.1 billion (that’s $3.1 thousand million dollars) in taxpayer Bailout money was not enough for them.

BB&T is a business, not a charitable organization. Why should BB&T cash a check for a nonclient? Check cashing is a SERVICE, which happens to be free for account holders. If you want a BB&T check cashed, take it to your own bank or pay 15% at a no-name check cashing center. $5 is a cheap price to allow the funds represented in the check to become liquid. And although BB&T accepted bailout money, they were also one of the first institutions to pay that money back in full. Do your homework, buddy. BB&T is one of the strongest financial institutions in the present economy.

They are the worst bank at least in Raleigh. Can never find a loan officer. The managers have to run 2 branches. Took 3 days for a 1000 dollar check to clear!! They have no morals. I use Wachovia now and have no problems they are the best. F BB&T.

Don't fool yourself, it's as bad as any other bank. Disgraceful!
