Understanding how much cash you can withdraw from a Truist ATM isn't always as straightforward as you might think. It's not a "one-size-fits-all" answer, as several factors come into play. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from daily limits to how your account type influences what you can pull out.
Step 1: Let's Figure Out Your Current Situation!
Before we dive into the specifics, let's establish a baseline. Are you currently a Truist customer, or are you looking to use a Truist ATM with a card from another bank? This makes a significant difference in how much you can withdraw and what fees you might encounter.

Step 2: Understanding Truist's ATM Withdrawal Limits
Truist, like all banks, implements daily ATM withdrawal limits for security purposes and to ensure cash availability for all customers. These limits are not static and can vary based on several key factors.
Sub-heading: Your Account Type Matters Immensely
The type of Truist checking or savings account you hold is the primary determinant of your ATM withdrawal limit.
- Truist One Checking: For many Truist customers, particularly those with a Truist One Checking account, the daily ATM withdrawal limit can range from $500 to $2,500. This range isn't arbitrary; it often depends on the specific tier or features of your Truist One Checking account.
- Essential Checking: If you have an Essential Checking account, your daily ATM cash withdrawal might be capped at a lower amount, sometimes around $500.
- Advantage Checking: Customers with an Advantage Checking account may see their daily ATM withdrawal limit increased, potentially up to $1,000.
- Wealth Checking & Premier Accounts: For Truist Wealth clients or those with premier banking relationships, higher daily ATM withdrawal limits are typically offered. These can be significantly more generous, reaching $3,000 or even higher for ATM withdrawals and a daily purchase limit of $25,000.
- Savings and Money Market Accounts: While you can often withdraw from savings and money market accounts at an ATM, be mindful of transaction limits. Truist may assess a $5 fee per withdrawal over six (6) with a maximum of six (6) Withdrawal Limit Fees per statement cycle for personal savings and money market accounts.
Sub-heading: Debit Card Type Plays a Role
While closely tied to your account type, the specific Truist debit card you possess can also influence your limits. Premium or specialized debit cards associated with higher-tier accounts often come with higher withdrawal allowances.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Sub-heading: External Factors: ATM Operator Limits
Even if Truist sets a high daily withdrawal limit for your account, an individual ATM operator (especially if it's not a Truist-branded ATM) might have its own, lower transaction limits. For example, if your Truist limit is $2,000, but the non-Truist ATM you're using only allows $500 per transaction, you'll be restricted by the ATM's limit. You would then need to make multiple transactions to reach your Truist daily limit.
Step 3: Finding Your Specific Truist ATM Withdrawal Limit
Since limits vary, you need to know your specific limit. Here's how to find it:
Sub-heading: Check Your Account Documentation
When you opened your Truist account, you should have received a "Personal Deposit Accounts Fee Schedule" or similar disclosures. This document will clearly outline your specific ATM withdrawal limits based on your account type. It's often found on the Truist website under "Disclosures and Fees" for your particular account.
Sub-heading: Use Truist Online Banking or Mobile App
- Sign In: Log in to your Truist online banking account or use the Truist mobile app.
- Account Details: Navigate to your account details or settings. Many banks provide information on daily limits within these sections.
- Card Management: Look for a "Card Management" or "Debit Card Settings" section, as withdrawal limits are often tied to your debit card.
Sub-heading: Contact Truist Customer Service
If you can't find the information online or prefer to speak with someone, calling Truist customer service is a direct way to get your specific limits.
- Phone Number: Call 844-4TRUIST (844-487-8478). Be prepared to verify your identity.
- Branch Visit: You can also visit your local Truist branch and speak with a representative. They can provide you with your account's specific withdrawal limits and answer any other questions.
Step 4: Increasing Your Truist ATM Withdrawal Limit (If Needed)
What if your current limit isn't enough for a particular need? It's often possible to request a temporary or permanent increase.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Sub-heading: Contact Truist Directly
- Phone Call is Best: The most common way to request an increase is to call Truist customer service at 844-4TRUIST (844-487-8478). Explain your reason for needing a higher limit.
- Branch Visit for Larger Requests: For significant, one-time increases, visiting a branch might be necessary. They can often facilitate larger, immediate withdrawals if you provide proper identification and the funds are available.
Sub-heading: Be Prepared to Explain Your Need
Banks typically want to understand why you need a higher limit. Common reasons include:
- Making a large purchase that requires cash.
- Traveling and needing more immediate access to funds.
- Emergency situations.
Sub-heading: Consider Upgrading Your Account
If you frequently find your ATM withdrawal limits restrictive, it might be worth discussing with Truist representatives if a different checking or savings account tier offers higher standard limits that better suit your financial habits. As mentioned earlier, moving from an Essential to an Advantage Checking account, or a Wealth account, can significantly increase your limits.
Step 5: Alternative Ways to Access Larger Amounts of Cash
If the ATM limit isn't sufficient, remember that ATMs aren't your only option for cash.

Sub-heading: In-Person Branch Withdrawals
- The Easiest Way for Large Amounts: There is generally no daily limit on how much cash you can withdraw directly from your Truist account at a branch, as long as the funds are available in your account. For very large withdrawals (e.g., over $10,000), it's advisable to call the branch ahead of time to ensure they have the cash on hand.
- Verification Required: Be prepared to show valid identification.
Sub-heading: Cash Back at Point of Sale
- Grocery Stores, Retailers: Many stores offer "cash back" with a debit card purchase. While typically limited to smaller amounts (e.g., $20, $50, or $100), this can be a convenient way to get a bit of extra cash without an ATM fee (though the store might have a small fee).
Sub-heading: Writing a Check
- Cash a Check: You can write a check to yourself and cash it at a Truist branch, or at another bank if they have a relationship or policies for cashing non-customer checks (though fees and limits may apply).
Step 6: Important Considerations and Best Practices
Sub-heading: Security First!
- Be Mindful of Your Surroundings: Always be aware of your surroundings when using an ATM, especially when withdrawing large sums.
- Protect Your PIN: Never share your Personal Identification Number (PIN) with anyone.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any suspicious activity at an ATM or on your account, report it to Truist immediately.
Sub-heading: Keep an Eye on Your Balance
- Avoid Overdrafts: Always know your available balance before attempting a withdrawal to avoid overdraft fees. Truist One Checking offers a "Balance Buffer" that allows clients to overdraw up to $100 without an overdraft fee, provided certain criteria are met (like a direct deposit of at least $100 within 35 days). However, it's always best practice to know your funds.
Sub-heading: Be Aware of Fees
- Out-of-Network ATM Fees: While Truist ATMs are generally free for Truist customers, using an ATM outside of the Truist network (or Allpoint, if Truist partners with them) may incur fees from both the ATM operator and Truist.
- Savings Withdrawal Limit Fees: As noted, exceeding six withdrawals from a Truist personal savings or money market account within a statement cycle can result in a $5 fee per withdrawal.
By following these steps and understanding the nuances of Truist's ATM withdrawal policies, you'll be well-equipped to access your cash when you need it, efficiently and securely.
