Not calculated
Overall
Fails

Market-cap methods are not calculated; the direct banking business independently prevents a pass.

Business-activity disclosure

Truist is a conventional regional bank providing commercial, consumer and mortgage lending, deposits, payments, wealth management and capital-markets services. Interest-based banking is central to the group.

Limitation: The filing reports fee-based segments alongside lending, but does not provide a scholar-approved permissible carve-out; the conventional banking core independently fails.

Purification

Truist discloses $3,599 million of net interest income, but purification cannot cure a direct core-business failure.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Truist's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Interest-bearing debt includes $27,441 million of short-term borrowings and $41,622 million of long-term debt; customer deposits are client funding and are not counted as corporate debt.
  • Cash is $4,294 million. Interest-bearing deposits with banks, AFS and HTM securities, and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell total $137,816 million for the identifiable securities proxy.
  • Accounts receivable include net loans and leases, loans held for sale, and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell, totaling $330,433 million; quarterly net revenue is $5,152 million and net interest income is $3,599 million.
  • Commercial, consumer and mortgage banking, deposits and lending are treated as a direct business-activity failure; this is not an official classification.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
