On August 14, 2024, the SEC instituted administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against Truist Securities, Inc., Truist Investment Services, Inc., and Truist Advisory Services, Inc., stating: "These proceedings arise out of Truist’s identification—and self-report—of widespread and longstanding failures of certain Truist employees, including at senior levels, to adhere to certain of these essential requirements and Truist’s own policies. Using their personal devices, these employees communicated both internally and externally by personal text messages or WhatsApp, which were not approved written communications platforms (“off-channel communications”)."
