Truist Bank
Charlotte, North Carolina · $548.35B in assets · beside the 11 other the Southeast banks over $10B (the state alone holds too few in the band to rank)
The filing
Truist Bank is the second largest of the 12 the Southeast banks nearest its size over $10B, with $548.35B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 79.2% of deposits, 2nd of 12 against a median of 89.5%, and equity is 11.5% of assets, 6th of 12. Loans grew +3.9% in the year, 9th of 12, and deposits grew 0.4%; the cohort's median loan growth is +5.2%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.72% of the book, 6th of 12 against a median of 0.76%; 0.53% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 2.1 times. Net charge-offs are 0.54% of loans, 11th of 12. Commercial real estate is 10.0% of loans, 3rd of 12 against a median of 24.7%, and 57% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 13% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.15%, 8th of 12 against a median of 1.31%, on an efficiency ratio of 54.2%, 8th of 12. Five years ago it was 1.07%. The question this shape raises is what the liquidity earns, and what a rate path does to the securities book and the deposit base.
