However, while talks are in the final stages, there is still a possibility they may be postponed or fall through. 

In October 2023, it was reported that Truist was in discussions to sell Truist Insurance Holdings to Stone Point Capital for an estimated $10bn.  

This followed a June 2023 stress test by the US Federal Reserve Board, which identified Truist as one of the banks with a lower stressed capital level.  

As per the earlier report, the potential sale appears to be a response to new, more stringent regulations designed to prevent further bank failures.
