The charity donation is a nice touch. I have had this account since college the people at SunTrust are fantastics. I have had a wonderful experience. They really seem to care.

The 50 dollar credit is a nice touch. The double charitable donation would normally be nicer, but I need the money lol. Anyways, I've had Suntrust for years, I'd recommend them to anyone.

This SunTrust charity donation is a wonderful incentive to open an account with them. There are no limits on which charity you can donate to. Just make sure you open the account by the end of the year. You also receive all of the checking bonuses associated with SunTrust such as online bill pay and account management.
