Nope. None. And no overdraft related fees2 either.

The Monthly Maintenance Fee (MMF) can be waived for the Truist One Checking account for each statement cycle by any one of the following:

  • Maintenance fees are waived for primary account owners age 62 and older.
  • Making $500 or more in total qualifying Direct Deposits per statement cycle. A qualifying direct deposit is an electronic credit via ACH deposited to your account during the current statement cycle. Pre-authorized transfers made from one account to another or deposits made via a branch, ATM, online transfer, mobile device, debit card/prepaid card number or the mail are not eligible to meet this requirement.
  • Maintaining a total combined ledger balance of $500 or more in any Truist related accounts across personal deposits (excluding Truist HSA) and all investments as reflected on the business day before your statement cycle end date. A Ledger Balance is actual balance in your account on a specific day and does not reflect any holds or pending transactions. Your Total Combined Balance is the sum of all balances within the Truist personal deposit accounts (checking, savings, money market or CDs), IRAs or brokerage accounts introduced through Truist Investment Services, Inc. Related Accounts automatically includes all applicable accounts associated with primary and secondary account holders.
  • Having a personal Truist credit card, mortgage or consumer loan, including LightStream®.
  • Having a linked Small Business Checking Account. Eligible Small Business account types include: Truist Dynamic Checking, Business Interest Checking, Simple Business Checking and Business Value 200.
  • Maintenance fees waived for students under the age of 25. Waiver for a student under the age of 25 requires that they are listed as the primary owner. The waiver is applied automatically at account opening and expires on the 25th birthdate of the student or their stated graduation date, whichever comes later. On this date, the account is subject to all applicable fees, including the Monthly Maintenance Fee unless at least one waiver criterion is satisfied.

The $100 Negative Balance Buffer is only available with Truist One Checking and allows eligible clients to overdraw their account up to $100. All eligibility requirements below must be met to initially qualify for the $100 Negative Balance Buffer:

  • Account must be opened for a minimum of 35 calendar days
  • Account must be funded and have a positive balance
  • A single direct deposit of at least $100 per month must be made for 2 consecutive months

To remain qualified for the $100 Negative Balance Buffer, the requirement below must be met:

  • A recurring direct deposit of at least $100 per month

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.

Truist One Checking is a traditional checking account—but with great benefits that automatically adjust based on your balance. It also has a $100 Negative Balance Buffer2 for qualifying clients.

The Truist Confidence Account doesn’t have paper checks. And it helps you stay focused on your budget by only approving transactions if you have the funds in your account to cover them. While the rare overdraft can occur in some circumstances, charges that exceed the account balance will typically be declined.

Neither account has overdraft fees and both are great options for students since the monthly maintenance fees are waived for students under 25.
