Truist Statement Formats: Current and Legacy
Truist was formed from the 2019 merger of SunTrust Banks and BB&T Corporation — two banks with very different statement layouts. SunTrust used a single-table format with separate debit/credit columns; BB&T used a combined amount column with a +/- indicator. Current Truist statements introduced yet another layout in 2022 as the rebranding completed across all former SunTrust and BB&T markets.
This means accounting firms with long-standing Truist clients may have a mix of three distinct statement formats covering different historical periods. Zera Books handles all three automatically — it identifies the format based on header structure and applies the appropriate extraction logic without any manual configuration on your end.

Legacy SunTrust statements
