Truist operates branches across 17 states, mostly in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions
Truist Bank has physical locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The bank does not have branches in every state, and coverage within each state varies — some states have dozens of locations while others have just a few.
The largest concentration of Truist branches is in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia, where the bank has hundreds of locations combined. If you live outside these states, you may still have access to a Truist branch, but you should check the bank's branch locator tool on their website to confirm there is one near you before opening an account.

How to find a Truist branch near you
Go to truist.com and use the "Find a Branch or ATM" tool on the homepage. Enter your city, state, or ZIP code, and the tool will show you all nearby Truist branches and ATMs, along with their hours and services offered. You can also call Truist customer service at 1-800-872-2657 to ask about locations in your area.
When you search, pay attention to which services each branch offers. Some smaller branches handle basic transactions like deposits and withdrawals, while larger locations may offer mortgage consultations, investment services, or business banking. If you need a specific service, confirm the branch has it before you visit.
Using Truist without a nearby branch
If you do not have a Truist branch close to you, online and mobile banking cover most everyday needs. You can transfer money, pay bills, deposit checks by phone camera, and check your balance without stepping into a branch. Truist also reimburses out-of-network ATM fees up to a certain amount each month, depending on your account type, so you can use other banks' ATMs without penalty.
For transactions that require in-person service — like opening a new account, getting a cashier's check, or discussing a loan — you have options. You can visit any Truist branch, even if it is not your closest one. You can also handle many of these tasks over the phone or through video chat with a Truist representative, though availability varies by service type.
Truist ATM access across the network
Truist ATMs are available at most branches, but the bank also places ATMs in partner locations like grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience stores in its service areas. These ATMs work the same way as branch ATMs and do not charge Truist customers a fee. You can find ATM-only locations using the same branch locator tool on truist.com.
If you use an ATM that is not part of the Truist network, Truist may reimburse the fee charged by the other bank. The amount and frequency of reimbursement depends on your account type — check your account details or call customer service to confirm what you are covered for.
What to bring when you visit a branch
For most routine transactions like deposits or withdrawals, you only need your debit card or account number. If you are opening a new account, bring a government-issued photo ID and your Social Security number. For more complex services like applying for a mortgage or business loan, the branch will tell you what documents to bring when you call ahead to schedule an appointment.
Calling ahead is a good idea for any non-routine visit, especially if you need to speak with a specialist or if the branch is busy. This ensures someone is available to help you and saves you a trip if the branch cannot handle your request that day.
Truist's history and branch expansion
Truist formed in 2019 when BB&T and SunTrust merged. The combined bank inherited branch networks from both institutions, which is why Truist has such strong presence in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Since the merger, Truist has closed some overlapping branches in areas where both banks had locations close together, but the overall footprint has remained stable.
The bank continues to operate physical branches because many customers prefer in-person banking for certain tasks, even as more people use online and mobile options. Truist has invested in modernizing its branches with updated technology and faster service, but the number of locations has not grown significantly since the merger.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I open a Truist account online if there is no branch near me?
Yes. You can open most Truist checking and savings accounts entirely online without visiting a branch. You will need a government-issued ID and Social Security number, and the process takes about 10 minutes. Some account types or services may require a phone call with a representative, but the bank will let you know during the application.
Do all Truist branches offer the same services?
No. Larger branches typically offer more services like mortgage consultations, investment advice, and business banking, while smaller branches may handle only basic deposits and withdrawals.

What if I need to deposit cash and there is no Truist branch nearby?
You can deposit cash at any Truist branch, even if it is far from your home. You can also mail a check to Truist, though this takes longer. Some Truist accounts allow mobile check deposit through the app, which works for checks but not cash. Call Truist customer service to discuss options for your specific situation.
Are Truist ATMs free to use?
