SunTrust (STI, Fortune 500), a large regional bank based in Atlanta, announced Monday that it will no longer charge $5 a month for debit card purchases starting Wednesday. Shortly afterward, Alabama-headquartered Regions Bank (RF, Fortune 500) said it will nix its $4 monthly fee on Tuesday.

Additionally, both banks said they will refund any customers previously charged the fee. SunTrust began charging the fees in June, Regions in October.
