Truist’s routing number depends on the state where you opened your account — the most common are 061000104 (Georgia/Texas), 053101561 (North Carolina), 051404260 (Virginia), and 063104668 (Florida). For domestic wire transfers, all Truist customers use the same number: 061000104. For international wires, the SWIFT code is SABORUMM. Truist’s routing numbers replaced all legacy BB&T and SunTrust numbers in 2022 — if you’re still using an old number, update it now to prevent payment failures.

Truist Routing Numbers by State

Use the state where you opened your account — not where you currently live. If you moved after opening your account, your original routing number still applies unless you opened a new account in the new state. Find routing numbers for all other banks at the routing numbers by bank guide.

Truist operates primarily across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic in 18 states plus DC. Some states share routing numbers — Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee all use 064000017, and Alabama and Mississippi both use 062203984. These groupings reflect the predecessor banks’ regional footprints before the merger. If you’re unsure which state applies to your account, verify through the Truist app or call 1-844-487-8478.


BB&T and SunTrust Merger History

Truist was formed through the 2019 merger of BB&T and SunTrust Banks — at the time, the largest bank merger in US history since the 2008 financial crisis. The full system integration was completed in 2022, at which point all legacy routing numbers were replaced. Understanding the timeline explains why many customers still encounter their old numbers in saved payee records.

Event Date Impact
Merger announcement February 2019 $66 billion “merger of equals” announced
Merger completed December 2019 Truist Financial Corporation formed
Brand consolidation begins 2020–2021 Branches, apps, websites rebranded
System integration complete 2022 New Truist routing numbers issued
Former BB&T accounts migrated February 2022 New Truist routing numbers assigned
Former SunTrust accounts migrated March 2022 New Truist routing numbers assigned

If you’ve been using a BB&T or SunTrust routing number since before 2022, most transactions may still process during a grace period — but you should update all direct deposits, autopay accounts, and saved payees to the correct Truist number. Transactions that fail due to a stale routing number can take 1–5 business days to reverse.

Truist Wire Transfer Routing Number

The wire routing number and SWIFT code are the same regardless of which state you’re in. Never use your state-specific ACH number for a wire transfer — wires require the dedicated wire routing number.

Transfer Type Routing/SWIFT Number
Domestic wire transfer 061000104
ACH / direct deposit State-specific (see table above)
International wire (SWIFT code) SABORUMM

For receiving an international wire transfer into your Truist account, provide the sender with these details:

Information Details
SWIFT/BIC code SABORUMM
Bank name Truist Bank
Bank address 214 N. Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28202
Your account number Your full Truist account number
Your name and address As it appears on your Truist account

Truist’s SWIFT code (SABORUMM) was inherited from SunTrust Bank and has not changed since the merger. International wires typically take 1–5 business days to arrive depending on the originating country and intermediary banks involved. For more on timing and costs, see wire transfer time and wire transfer limits.


How to Find Your Truist Routing Number

1. Truist Mobile App

Open the Truist app → select your checking or savings account → tap “Account details.” Your routing number is displayed there alongside your account number.

2. Truist Online Banking

Log in at truist.com → navigate to your account → click “Account details” or “Account info.” Both the routing number and full account number are shown.

3. On a Paper Check

Your routing number is the first 9 digits printed on the bottom-left of any Truist check, before your account number and the check number. The three sets of numbers at the bottom of a check always appear in the same order: routing number | account number | check number.

4. Customer Service

Call Truist at 1-844-487-8478 (24/7) to verify your routing number with a representative. Have your account information ready to verify your identity. For a general guide on locating routing numbers, see how to find your routing number.


Which Routing Number Do I Need?

Transaction Which Number to Use
Direct deposit from employer State-specific ACH number
IRS tax refund State-specific ACH number
Social Security or government benefits State-specific ACH number
Bill pay / autopay State-specific ACH number
Linking to Zelle, Venmo, Cash App State-specific ACH number
Linking to PayPal or payment apps State-specific ACH number
Domestic wire (sending or receiving) 061000104
International wire SWIFT: SABORUMM

The most common mistake is using the domestic wire number (061000104) for direct deposit — this will cause the direct deposit to fail or be returned. Always use your state-specific ACH number for payroll and recurring payments. For how long direct deposits take to arrive once set up correctly, see when direct deposit hits.


ACH vs. Wire Transfers at Truist

Understanding the difference between ACH and wire transfers determines which routing number you need and how quickly your money moves.

Feature ACH Transfer Wire Transfer
Routing number State-specific 061000104
Speed 1–3 business days Same day or next day
Cost (outgoing domestic) Free $25–$35
Cost (outgoing international) N/A $45–$50
Reversible Yes (limited window) No — once sent, permanent
Best for Payroll, bills, routine transfers Large or time-sensitive payments

For most everyday transactions — payroll, ACH transfers, and bill payments — the free ACH route is correct. Wire transfers are faster and irrevocable: once sent, they cannot be recalled. Use wires only when the recipient requires it (such as real estate closings) or the payment is time-sensitive and large enough to justify the $25–$35 fee. For Truist ATM limits and cash access, that’s separate from routing number transactions.
