Where to find your external transfers in Truist

To see all external transfers you've made through Truist, log into Truist Online Banking or the Truist mobile app and navigate to the Transfers section. From there, you can view a list of transfers you've sent to accounts outside Truist, including the date, amount, recipient account, and status of each transfer. The exact steps differ slightly between the website and the app, but both show the same transfer history.

External transfers are payments you've sent from your Truist account to a bank account at another financial institution. Truist keeps a record of these transfers for your reference, and you can review them at any time by logging in to your account.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into Truist Online Banking or the mobile app and select Transfers to view your external transfer history.
  • Your transfer list shows the date, amount, receiving bank, account number (partially masked), and whether each transfer was completed or pending.
  • You can filter transfers by date range or search for a specific transfer if you need to locate one quickly.
  • If a transfer shows as pending or failed, you can check the status or cancel it from the same screen.

Steps to view transfers on Truist Online Banking

Open Truist Online Banking in your web browser and sign in with your username and password. Once you're logged in, look for the Transfers option in the main menu or navigation bar — this is usually located near Payments or Money Movement options.

Click on Transfers, then select External Transfers or Sent Transfers. You'll see a list of all external transfers you've made, sorted by date with the most recent at the top. Each entry shows the transfer date, the amount, the name of the receiving bank, the last four digits of the receiving account, and the transfer status (completed, pending, or failed).

To narrow down your results, use the date filter at the top of the list. You can enter a start date and end date to view only transfers from a specific time period. If you're looking for a particular transfer, you can also search by amount or recipient name.

Steps to view transfers on the Truist mobile app

Open the Truist mobile app and sign in. Tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) at the bottom or top of the screen, depending on whether you're using the iOS or Android version.

Select Transfers from the menu options. Tap External Transfers or Sent Transfers to see your history. The app displays the same information as the website — date, amount, receiving bank, account number (last four digits), and status — but in a mobile-friendly format.

You can scroll through your transfer list or use the filter option to search by date range. If you need more details about a specific transfer, tap on it to open a detailed view showing the full receiving account number (with most digits masked for security), the receiving bank's routing number, and any reference or memo you included with the transfer.

What the transfer status means

Completed means the transfer has been sent to the receiving bank and the funds have left your Truist account. The receiving bank may take one to three business days to deposit the money into the recipient's account, depending on the bank and the time of day you sent the transfer.

Pending means the transfer has been submitted but has not yet been processed. Pending transfers usually move to completed status within a few hours, though they may take longer if you scheduled the transfer for a future date or if you sent it after business hours or on a weekend.

Failed means the transfer could not be completed. Common reasons include an incorrect account number, a closed account at the receiving bank, or insufficient funds in your Truist account. If a transfer fails, the money stays in your Truist account, and you can try again with corrected information.

How far back your transfer history goes

Truist typically displays external transfer history for the past 12 months in Online Banking and the mobile app. If you need to view transfers older than 12 months, you may be able to request a statement or transaction history from Truist customer service, though this may require a separate request and could take several business days.

If you regularly need to reference older transfers, consider downloading or printing your transfer history periodically. Both the website and app allow you to export or print your transfer list as a PDF or spreadsheet.

Canceling or stopping a pending transfer

If you see a transfer that is still pending and you want to cancel it, you can usually do so from the same screen where you view your transfer history. Click or tap on the pending transfer, and look for a Cancel Transfer button or option. You must cancel before the transfer moves to completed status — once it's completed, the money has left your account and you cannot cancel it through Online Banking.

If a transfer has already completed and you need to recover the funds, you'll need to contact Truist customer service or the receiving bank directly. Truist may be able to attempt a reversal, but this is not may provide, especially if the receiving bank has already deposited the money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see transfers I made before I opened my current Truist account?

No. Your transfer history is tied to your current account. If you merged accounts, closed an old account, or switched banks, transfers from those accounts won't appear in your current Truist Online Banking history. Contact Truist customer service if you need records from a closed or merged account.

Why is a transfer showing as pending after several days?

Transfers scheduled for a future date will show as pending until that date arrives. If today's date has passed and the transfer is still pending, it may be held due to fraud detection, insufficient funds, or a technical issue. Log out and back in to refresh the status, or contact Truist customer service if it remains pending for more than 24 hours.

What information do I need to provide if I want to dispute a transfer?

Have the transfer date, amount, receiving bank name, and the last four digits of the receiving account ready. You can find all of this in your transfer history. Truist customer service will use this information to locate the transfer and investigate any issues with it.

Can I export my transfer history for my records?

Yes. Most versions of Truist Online Banking allow you to read or print your transfer list as a PDF. Look for a read, Print, or Export button near the top of your transfer history list. The mobile app may have more limited export options, so the website is usually the better choice for saving records.
