Truist Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in the U.S., serves millions with personal checking, wealth-building tools, and home loans. However, the bank set out to close 72 branches across the 17 states it operates in as part of a strategy to cut costs by $750 million. This year, a few states saw more closures than others, including NC, the home of Truist's headquarters.
Despite this initiative to cut costs, Truist has launched "Truist Cares for Western North Carolina," a $725 million, three-year commitment to support small businesses, housing, and infrastructure in communities recovering from Hurricane Helene.
Most of these closures happened around March this year, leaving many customers looking for their new, nearest branch or turning to online banking for most of their needs.

Bottom line
/images/2023/09/27/truist-logo-adobe.jpg)
Although Truist shut down the branches listed above, the bank has said there will be another Truist location within less than three miles of the shuttered branch in the "vast majority" of cases.
Even if your nearest branch closes, you should still be within driving distance of a physical location — and if not, you can access Truist online 24/7. Or, you can look for a new bank where you can earn more on your savings.
