The description below summarizes an update to the regulatory and supervisory framework applicable to Truist since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This update does not summarize all actual, proposed, or possible changes in statutes, regulations, and other laws applicable to Truist and is not intended to be a substitute for those laws. Refer to “Regulatory and Supervisory Considerations” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional disclosures.

In December 2024, the CFPB issued a final rule to financial institutions with more than $10 billion in assets to either limit the cost of overdraft services to the amount of their costs and losses or adhere to a fee cap of $5. The rule was expected to take effect on October 1, 2025. In May 2025, the President signed a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn this rule. As a result, the rule will not become effective and banks with more than $10 billion in assets, including Truist Bank, will not be required to change their overdraft fee structures to comply with the rule.
