Looking for student checking? Here's one simple choice.

No, but the $12 monthly maintenance fee is waived for students under the age of 25.

The monthly maintenance fee waiver applies automatically at account opening and expires on the 25th birthdate of the student or their stated graduation date, whichever comes later. For the waiver to apply, you must be listed as the primary owner on the checking account.

Also, Truist One Checking doesn’t charge overdraft fees or overdraft-related fees. This means no fees for things like returned items, negative account balances, or overdraft protection transfers. And some ATM and personal check fees are waived too.

Other fees may apply. Please refer to the Account Overview Guide and the Personal Deposit Accounts Fee Schedule for further details.

The monthly maintenance fee waiver expires at graduation OR on the 25th birthday of the student, whichever comes later. For example, if you graduate at age 23, you’ll still avoid the monthly maintenance fee until your 25^th birthday.

At graduation the account is subject to all applicable fees, including the Monthly Maintenance Fee unless you meet any of the waiver criteria.

Here are four ways to waive the Monthly Maintenance Fee after you graduate:

• Making $500 or more in total qualifying Direct Deposits per statement cycle OR
• Maintaining a total combined ledger balance of $500 or more in Truist related accounts across personal deposits and all investments as reflected on the business day before your statement cycle end date OR
• Having a personal Truist credit card, mortgage or consumer loan, excluding LightStream® OR
• Having a linked Small Business Checking Account 

Yes! Truist Bank is an FDIC member. This means your money is FDIC insured up to the amount allowable by law.

No. There’s no fee to cash or deposit a check issued to you.

For accounts that qualify for the $100 Negative Balance Buffer and also have Overdraft Protection, Truist will use the $100 Negative Balance Buffer first. If the account has neither, transactions that exceed the account balance will typically be declined or returned.
