Good news about deposit account numbers! There will be no merger-related changes to checking, savings, and money market account numbers. And more good news—we also won’t be changing the routing numbers related to these accounts.

What this means for you:

• There's no need to order new checks or deposit slips, so continue using these as you normally would.
• Your direct deposits will continue as usual.
• Automatic drafts that use your account number and our routing number will remain unchanged.
• If you currently use wire services, no changes are required to your wire instructions (account number or routing number).

SunTrust clients – You’ll receive new CD and IRA account numbers in early 2022. We’ll contact you ahead of time and guide you through the process.

BB&T clients – There will be no merger-related changes to your CD and IRA account numbers.

If you’re a current online banking client who’s been active within the past 90 days, you’ll receive this information through your online banking account. Otherwise, we’ll send you the information in the mail at least 30 days before we make any changes that affect your account.

The information will outline any applicable changes to product naming and fee structures.

You may receive multiple communications if you open a new BB&T account after March 19, 2021. You may receive multiple communications if you open a new SunTrust account after September 10, 2021. You’ll also receive multiple communications if you bank with both SunTrust and BB&T.

BB&T clients – After October 2021, you’ll receive your new Truist Visa debit card when your current card expires.

SunTrust clients – If you currently have a MasterCard®-branded SunTrust Debit Card or Delta SkyMiles Debit Card, you’ll receive a Visa®-branded Truist Debit card or Delta SkyMiles Debit Card in early 2022. Your new Truist card will have a different card number, expiration date, and 3-digit security code but your PIN will stay the same.

Whether you currently bank at BB&T or SunTrust—or both—you’ll receive more information in the coming months, including activation timing and changes to existing accounts.

Good news. You'll continue to earn rewards as applicable to your account, as you do today – redeemable for cash back, gift cards, merchandise and more.

Yes—you’ll receive your new Truist credit card at a later date. We’ll send you an information packet in the coming months with details on changes to existing accounts. In the meantime, you can continue to use your current cards with all the features and benefits you have today.

We’re excited to announce that Deals will continue. Be on the lookout for an information packet in the coming months with all the details.

There’s a lot to love about this transition. For starters:

• Use your debit or ATM card right now at any BB&T or SunTrust ATM to make cash withdrawals—with no ATM fees. Continue to bank as you normally would—exciting improvements and benefits are right around the corner.
• Get more done with greater ease. A number of ATMs will have a contactless card tap option, and you can change your PIN right at the ATM if you’d like.
• Over 3,000 ATMs are now available to you within our Truist market.

If you currently have a BB&T or SunTrust safe deposit box, it will become a Truist safe deposit box. All terms and conditions set forth in your Safe Deposit Box Lease Agreement will continue to apply. Truist will provide an annual safe deposit box billing notice or pre-note which discloses the rental price. If your current safe deposit box rent is automatically deducted from your checking or savings account, that arrangement will continue. 

Please note that your annual rental price with Truist may change at the time of renewal. Contact your local branch for additional information about safe deposit box price changes.

You can continue to use your BB&T or SunTrust branches and ATMs during our transition. We’ll be rolling out Truist branding updates—including temporary signage—to branches, ATMs, and printed materials from May 2021 through March 2022.

We’re planning for a limited amount of ATM and branch downtime during the transition to Truist. Know that we’re working very hard to minimize any disruption to services.

Truist products will be available in BB&T branches in late 2021 and in SunTrust branches in early 2022.

Truist will continue to offer convenient ways to pay your mortgage, such as recurring auto draft or online bill pay features.

Of course, you can still pay by phone or mail if you prefer. Or you can always visit a branch if you need in-person payment support.
