SunTrust Bank Review: $750, $500, $250 Personal & $200 Business Checking Bonuses

SunTrust Bank has been offering a variety of sign-up cash bonuses and other promotions for a while now. Typical bonus amounts have been for $100, $200, $250, $300, $400, $500, $600, $750, etc.

SunTrust bank has over 1,500 branches throughout the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. This is still considered an offer more for the smaller regional area. If you don’t live in any of these regions, see our Bank Bonuses Page for other offers.

There are usually offers for both Personal and Business accounts.

SunTrust Bank offers a full line of banking products. However, their Savings/Money Market and CD rates aren’t going to compete with the best rates provided by online banks. See our Savings/Money Market and CD rate guides for those accounts.
