The bank does offer other CD terms ranging from seven days to five years. But it doesn't display these rates online, and rates may vary by location. So you need to call or visit your local branch to ask about rates for a term.

Still, Truist rates on terms other than seven and 12 months are very low across the board. The best CD rates are usually from online banks.
