Disclosure 1 Truist does not charge overdraft related fees on this product. Overdraft related fees are considered overdraft fees, returned item fees, negative account balance fees, or overdraft protection transfer fees. Transactions that exceed the account balance will typically be declined or returned.

Disclosure 2 To initially qualify requirements below must be met for the $100 Negative Balance Buffer:

  • Account must be opened for a minimum of 35 calendar days
  • Account must be funded and have a positive balance
  • A single direct deposit of at least $100 per month must be made for 2 consecutive months

To remain qualified for the $100 Negative Balance Buffer, the requirement below must be met:

  • A recurring direct deposit of at least $100 per month.

After qualifying, if two months pass without a Direct Deposit of at least $100, you will no longer have access to Negative Balance Buffer.

For accounts that qualify for the $100 Negative Balance Buffer and also have Overdraft Protection, Truist will use the $100 Negative Account Buffer first. If the account has neither, transactions that exceed the account balance will be declined or returned.

The $100 Negative Balance Buffer is only available with Truist One Checking and allows clients to overdraw their account up to $100. Initial and ongoing eligibility requirements apply. If the $100 Negative Balance Buffer is not available (and the account does not have Overdraft Protection), transactions that exceed the account balance will be declined or returned.
