Truist Bank’s daily ATM withdrawal limit is $500 for standard accounts and up to $2,000 for Wealth and Premier Banking clients. Truist was formed in 2019 by the merger of SunTrust Banks and BB&T — completing full technology integration in 2022–2023 — and is now the seventh-largest U.S. bank by assets. If your limit feels low, a same-day temporary increase is available by calling 1-844-487-8478, and teller withdrawals at any Truist branch have no daily ATM cap.
See the full Truist banking guide for fees, routing numbers, and account tier details.
Truist ATM Withdrawal Limits by Account Type
Truist sets ATM limits based on account tier. Standard accounts fall in the $500–$1,000 range; premium relationship accounts go higher.
| Account | Daily ATM Withdrawal Limit |
|---|---|
| Truist One Checking (new accounts) | $500 |
| Truist One Checking (established, 12+ months) | $500–$1,000 |
| Truist Bright Checking | $500–$1,000 |
| Truist Confidence Account | $500 |
| Truist Wealth | Up to $2,000 |
| Truist Premier Banking | Up to $2,000+ |
All limits reset at midnight Eastern Time. If you need cash beyond your daily limit before the reset, a Truist branch teller withdrawal is the fastest option — teller withdrawals are not subject to the ATM daily cap.
Truist ATM Network and Fees
Truist operates roughly 3,500 branded ATMs concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Tennessee). Outside that region, fees apply for standard accounts.
| ATM Situation | Fee |
|---|---|
| Truist branded ATM | Free |
| Non-Truist ATM — standard accounts | $3.00 per transaction |
| Non-Truist ATM — Premier Banking | Reimbursed |
| International ATM | $5.00 + exchange rate |
The $3.00 non-Truist ATM fee is on the higher side compared to some peers. See the Truist fee guide for a full breakdown of ATM and other charges.

Former SunTrust and BB&T Customers
Truist completed the merger of SunTrust Banks and BB&T in 2019 and finished the full technology and account migration in 2022. Here’s what that means for ATM limits:
- All former SunTrust and BB&T accounts were converted to Truist equivalents during migration
- ATM limits were aligned to Truist’s standard tiers — if your former BB&T or SunTrust limit was higher, your Truist equivalent should carry the same tier
- If your limit appears lower than your previous bank’s limit, call 1-844-487-8478 to request a review — Truist can often restore prior limit levels for established long-term customers
- Former BB&T Visa debit card users may have different physical card limits than former SunTrust users — call to confirm your specific card’s current limit
How to Find Your Truist ATM Limit
Four ways to check your current limit:
- Truist Mobile App — tap your account → Card settings → Spending limits
- Truist Online Banking — Account overview → Manage card → Spending limits
- Call 1-844-487-8478 — customer service can confirm your limit and process an increase in one call
- Visit a Truist branch — a banker can confirm your limit and submit a permanent increase request on the spot
How to Increase Your Truist ATM Limit
Temporary Increase (Same-Day)
Call 1-844-487-8478 with:
- Your specific reason (travel, large purchase, emergency)
- The dates you need the higher limit
- The exact amount requested
Be specific: “I’m traveling this weekend and need to withdraw $1,200 on Saturday” is far more effective than a vague request. Temporary increases are typically approved immediately for accounts in good standing.
Permanent Increase
Options for a lasting higher limit:
- Upgrade to Truist Wealth or Premier Banking — standard limits automatically rise to $2,000+
- Build account history — accounts with 12+ months of history, consistent positive balances, and no overdrafts are more likely to receive permanent increases
- Maintain higher average daily balances — relationship tiers at Truist are balance-driven
Branch Withdrawal (No Limit)
For a one-time large cash need, visiting a Truist branch is often faster than requesting an increase. Teller withdrawals have no daily ATM-style cap. Bring government-issued ID. Withdrawals over $10,000 trigger a Currency Transaction Report (CTR), which the bank files automatically — standard regulatory procedure.
Truist One Checking: Tier Structure
Truist One Checking is Truist’s primary checking product with tiered benefits based on monthly qualifying deposits:
| Tier Level | Monthly Deposit Requirement | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Any | Standard ATM limits, standard fees |
| Level 3 | $2,000+ direct deposit/month | Reduced or waived monthly fee |
| Level 5 | $5,000+ direct deposit/month | Enhanced relationship benefits |
Higher tiers improve your standing when requesting a permanent ATM limit increase from customer service.
Truist vs. Other Major Banks: ATM Limit Comparison
| Bank | Standard Daily ATM Limit | Premium Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Truist | $500–$1,000 | Up to $2,000 (Premier) |
