By 7 a.m. on Wednesday, a bank spokesman said all issues were resolved.
"BB&T has addressed the processing issue and accounts now have accurate balances. We want to assure our clients that overdraft fees have been refunded," BB&T Corporate Communications Strategist Brian Davis said in a statement.
The bank posted an apology to Facebook Tuesday after reports of balances wiped out began to circulate on the internet.
"We understand that this has created hardships for many of our clients, both personally and financially. BB&T wholeheartedly apologizes and thanks our clients for their continued patience," Davis said.
The bank, which did not say how many customers were impacted, said the issue was not the result of a security breach or any other cybersecurity event.
