Do you need a debit card and checks? A safe place to save money you’ve earned? Or both? Check out our checking and savings account options to find the best one for you.
Checking accounts are used for day-to-day transactions, like buying something online or at a store with a debit card, sending money digitally, writing a rent check, or depositing cash and checks.
Savings accounts are more of a one-way street—a place to deposit money to save up for a goal or emergency fund.
You can open your new account any way you want. (Note that Truist CDs can only be opened at a branch.)
Online: Get started right away by opening your account online. You’ll have to wait a few days for your debit card and checks to arrive by mail—or you can visit a branch to get a temporary debit card ASAP.
Branch: Visit a branch near you during business hours to open your new account. Bonus—you’ll walk out with a ready-to-use temporary debit card with your new checking account.
Phone: Call us at 844-4TRUIST (844-487-8487). We’re available Monday through Friday, 8 am to 8 pm, and Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm.
