What Truist Financial does

US super-regional bank (from the 2019 BB&T-SunTrust merger) offering retail, commercial and wealth banking in the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic.

Earns mostly from the gap between loan and deposit rates, with fees from wealth management and payments. The 2019 merger created a large Southeast franchise, and in 2024 it sold most of its insurance-brokerage arm to focus on banking.
