Do not do business with Sun Trust Bank. They discriminate against people who hold Christian beliefs. They took all the business away from the Benham brothers when they found out that they held traditional Christian values. William Rogers is the CEO. He should be fired for his intollerant beliefs. Let him get a taste of his own medicine.

The bank has appologized and reinstated the business of the brothers. I can tell by the swiftness of the responses to my postings, that you have some hidden financial interest in this company. No normal person follows ripoff reports so closely. Also your attempt to rebut is so silly, I can tell you are just trying to do what you are paid to do which is defend the indefenseable. You say intollerant has no meaning.
Intollerance: lack of toleration; unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respectcontrary opinions or beliefs, persons of different races orbackgrounds, etc. That is exactly what the bank did. They found out from National news media that the brothers were Christians and they cancelled all their business with them. There was a backlash from Christians and the very same day, reinstated all their business to protect their profits. They thought they could get away with it an no one would know. They didn't know that Christians are starting to fight back against such intollerance.

None of the rebuttals including myself work for this bank. I do not follow your report because I ask can you proof your allegations?? :William Rogers is the CEO. He should be fired for his intollerant beliefs. Let him get a taste of his own medicine." What is "intollerant"? That word has no meaning. I find it hard to believe that any bank would discriminate based on religion - report them FDIC! That is the agency that oversees banking regulations.

Given the speed to which you replied to my complaint, you must be a professional who works for the bank in their PR Dept. You asked how did they know that they were Christians. It was on National news for a week, stupid. The bank will not comment as to why, but you would have to have your head up someones butt not to figure out why one week later, they are suddenly terminated. You do not fool us professional appologist for the bank. Faschist are easy to spot.

I do not see any information of the report but rather a slander. If you want to make a real report, ask the PERSON WHO INVOLES IN THE INCIDENT to tell us the readers what happened from start to end. Not just throw a stupid claim on the forum using an ANONYMOUS name.

" They took all the business away from the Benham brothers when they found out that they held traditional Christian values."
Did the bank state that because of these "traditional Christian values" they were closing the accounts? I seriously doubt they did and you just took a major leap to that conclusion...drama queen. How did the bank know they held "traditional Christian values?"
Nothing like organized religion keeping the drama going.
