| How To Deposit Cash At Truist Bank |
Step 1: Choose Your Preferred Deposit Method
Before you even leave your home or pick up your phone, consider which method of depositing cash at Truist Bank best suits your needs and the amount you're depositing. Do you prefer a personal touch, or are you looking for speed and convenience?
There are generally two primary ways to deposit cash at Truist:

- Depositing at a Truist ATM: A fast and convenient option for most cash deposits, often available 24/7.
Let's explore each method in detail.
Step 2: Depositing Cash at a Truist Branch (with a Teller)
For those who prefer a face-to-face interaction or have specific needs, visiting a Truist branch is an excellent choice.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
Sub-heading 2.1: Gather Your Essentials
Before heading to the branch, make sure you have the following:
- The Cash: Count your cash beforehand to ensure accuracy. This will save you time at the teller window.
- Your Truist Account Information: This could be your account number, debit card, or even just your name and a valid ID if you know your account number.
- A Deposit Slip (Optional but Recommended): While tellers can often process deposits without one, having a pre-filled deposit slip can significantly speed up the transaction. You can usually find these at the bank's counter or sometimes print them from the Truist website if available.
Sub-heading 2.2: Locate Your Nearest Truist Branch and Check Hours
Use the Truist website or mobile app's "Locations" or "Find a Branch" feature to find the branch most convenient for you. It's crucial to check their operating hours before you go, as hours can vary by location.
Sub-heading 2.3: At the Branch: The Teller Process
Once you arrive at the branch, follow these simple steps:
- Enter and Queue: Walk into the branch and look for the teller line. If there's a queue, take your place.
- Fill Out a Deposit Slip (if not done already):
- Date: Write the current date.
- Account Number: Clearly write your Truist account number.
- Name: Write your full name as it appears on your Truist account.
- Cash Amount: Enter the total amount of cash you are depositing.
- Total: Ensure the total matches the sum of your cash.
- Approach the Teller: When it's your turn, greet the teller.
- Hand Over Your Items: Present your cash, your deposit slip (if you have one), and your Truist debit card or identification to the teller.
- Verify the Amount: The teller will count the cash. Carefully confirm that the amount they state matches the amount you counted and wrote on your slip.
- Receive Your Receipt: The teller will provide you with a receipt for your deposit. Keep this receipt in a safe place for your records, as it serves as proof of your transaction.
Step 3: Depositing Cash at a Truist ATM
For quick and convenient cash deposits, a Truist ATM is often your best bet. Many Truist ATMs are deposit-enabled and available 24/7.
Sub-heading 3.1: Prepare for Your ATM Visit
Here's what you'll need:
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- Your Truist Debit Card: This is essential for initiating a deposit at an ATM.
- The Cash: As with a teller deposit, count your cash beforehand. Ensure the bills are flat and free of folds, staples, or paper clips, as these can jam the machine.
- Your PIN (Personal Identification Number): You'll need this to access your account at the ATM.
Sub-heading 3.2: Locate a Deposit-Enabled Truist ATM
Not all ATMs accept cash deposits. You can typically find deposit-enabled Truist ATMs using the Truist website or mobile app's "Locations" feature. Look for ATMs that specifically state they accept cash deposits.
Sub-heading 3.3: At the ATM: The Automated Process
Once you're at the ATM, follow these steps carefully:
- Insert Your Debit Card: Insert your Truist debit card into the designated slot on the ATM.
- Enter Your PIN: Enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) when prompted.
- Select "Deposit": On the main menu screen, select the "Deposit" option.
- Select Account: Choose the account you wish to deposit the cash into (e.g., checking or savings).
- Select "Cash Deposit": If prompted, select the option for a "Cash Deposit."
- Insert Cash: The ATM will open a slot. Carefully insert your cash into the slot. The machine will automatically count the bills.
- Verify Amount Displayed: The ATM screen will display the amount of cash it counted. Review this amount carefully to ensure it matches what you inserted. If there's a discrepancy, you may have the option to add more cash or cancel the transaction.
- Confirm Deposit: Once you've verified the amount, confirm the deposit on the screen.
- Take Your Receipt: The ATM will dispense a receipt. Always take and keep your receipt, as it's your proof of the transaction.
Sub-heading 3.4: Important ATM Deposit Notes
- Deposit Limits: Truist ATMs may have daily cash deposit limits. These limits can vary, so if you're depositing a very large sum, it's wise to confirm with Truist directly or consider a teller deposit.
- Availability of Funds: While cash deposited at an ATM is often available immediately, there might be cut-off times for processing. Deposits made after a certain time (e.g., 9 PM ET) on a business day may be processed on the next business day.
Step 4: Confirming Your Deposit
Regardless of the method you choose, it's always a good practice to confirm that your deposit has been successfully credited to your account.
