Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

General

See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used herein. These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flow activity required in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. There were no changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates that are used in arriving at the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Certain of these estimates are considered critical because they require the use of difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, which are sensitive to changes in key assumptions or inputs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the ACL; fair value measurement; goodwill; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefit obligations.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Standards

The following table provides a summary of significant accounting standards adopted during the current year and standards not yet adopted:


Standard / Effective Date	Description	Effects on the Financial Statements




Standards Not Yet Adopted
Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract / January 1, 2027	Refines the scope of derivatives by adding a scope exception from derivative accounting for contracts that (i) are not exchange traded and (ii) have underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. However, contracts based on certain underlyings or features would not qualify for the scope exception. Clarifies that the revenue guidance applies initially to share-based noncash consideration (e.g., shares, share options or other equity instruments) received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. Permits a prospective or modified retrospective basis transition approach. Early adoption is permitted.	Truist does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.
Hedge Accounting Improvements / January 1, 2027	The standard (i) permits designation of variable price elements of forecasted purchases or sales of nonfinancial assets as hedged items, provided they are clearly and closely related to the underlying asset, (ii) allows individual transactions with similar risk exposures to be grouped for hedge accounting, (iii) permits entities to continue hedge accounting when a borrower transitions to a new interest rate index and/or tenor for choose-your-rate debt instruments, as long as the hedging instrument remains highly effective in offsetting the cash flows attributable to the revised hedged risk, (iv) allows entities, for the written option test, to assume that certain terms of the hedging instrument match those of the forecasted transaction, and (v) requires that any basis adjustments to foreign-currency-denominated debt related to fair value hedges of interest rate risk be excluded from net investment hedge effectiveness assessments. Early adoption is permitted.	Truist does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.
Purchased Loans / January 1, 2027	Requires loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and classified as seasoned to be treated as purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up method at purchase. Under the gross-up method, estimated credit losses at the purchase date are recorded by an offsetting gross-up adjustment to the purchase price of the purchased loans. All non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. Requires prospective application. Early adoption is permitted.	Truist is evaluating the requirements of this standard. Any impact on Truist's financial statements will depend on the nature and volume of future in-scope transactions.
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures / December 31, 2027	Introduces new requirements to disclose more detailed information about certain types of expenses not already presented in separate expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Income, including employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and selling expenses. Banks that present a caption for salaries and benefits under SEC rules would be permitted to retain their current definition. Permits either a prospective or retrospective transition approach.	Truist is evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures. This standard relates to footnote disclosures only.
Internal-Use Software / January 1, 2028	Eliminates references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requires eligible cost capitalization when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. In evaluating probable-to-complete, requires consideration of any significant development uncertainty. Permits a prospective, a modified transition for in-process projects, or a retrospective transition approach.	Truist is evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
