Each of the 500,000 depositary shares offered hereby represents a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series F
(the "Shares" or the "Series F Preferred Stock "), $100,000 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), of SunTrust Banks, Inc.
("SunTrust") deposited with U.S. Bank National Association, as depositary. The depositary shares are evidenced by depositary receipts. As a holder of depositary shares,
you are entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Series F Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). You must exercise
such rights through the depositary.
Holders of Series F Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividend payments only when, as and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of
the board. Dividends will be payable from the date of original issue to, but excluding, December 15, 2019 at a rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semi-annually, in
arrears, on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2015 and ending on December 15, 2019. From and including December 15, 2019, we will pay
dividends when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or such committee at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.86% per annum,
payable quarterly, in arrears, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2020.
Dividends on the Shares will be non-cumulative. In the event dividends are not declared on Series F Preferred Stock for payment on any dividend payment date, then
those dividends will not be cumulative and will not accrue or be payable, and if we have not declared a dividend before the dividend payment date for any dividend period,
we will have no obligation to pay dividends for that dividend period, whether or not dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock are declared for any future dividend period.
On any dividend payment date occurring on or after December 15, 2019 we may redeem the Series F Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of
$100,000 per Share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends. In addition, we may redeem the Series F Preferred Stock, in
whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Event (as defined herein), at a redemption price of $100,000 per Share (equivalent to
$1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends. The Series F Preferred Stock will not have voting rights, except as set forth under "Description of
Series F Preferred Stock--Voting Rights" beginning on page S-19.
We do not intend to list the depositary shares or the Series F Preferred Stock on any securities exchange.
Neither the Series F Preferred Stock nor the depositary shares are savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of any of our bank or non-bank subsidiaries and they
are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality.

SPECI AL N OT E REGARDI N G FORWARD-LOOK I N G ST AT EM EN T S
The information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement may contain forward-looking statements,
including statements about credit quality and the future prospects of SunTrust. Statements that do not describe historical or current
facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements often include the
words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "targets," "potentially," "probably," "projects," "outlook" or
similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as "may," "will," "should," "would" and "could."
Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of SunTrust's management and on information currently
available to management. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the "Securities Act," and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements speak as
of the date hereof, and SunTrust does not assume any obligation to update the statements included or incorporated by reference
herein or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information
or future events.
Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Investors are cautioned against placing undue
reliance on such statements. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that

reports and Current Reports filed on Form 8-K with the SEC and available at the SEC's internet site (http://www.sec.gov). Those
factors include:


· our framework for managing risks may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to us;

· as one of the largest lenders in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States and a provider of financial products and
services to consumers and businesses across the United States, our financial results have been, and may continue to

States, and a deterioration of economic conditions or of the financial markets may materially adversely affect our lending
and other businesses and our financial results and condition;

would be adversely affected;

·
we are subject to credit risk;

· we may have more credit risk and higher credit losses to the extent that our loans are concentrated by loan type,

iv
Table of Contents
· we will realize future losses if the proceeds we receive upon liquidation of nonperforming assets are less than the

carrying value of such assets;

· a downgrade in the U.S. government's sovereign credit rating, or in the credit ratings of instruments issued, insured or

guaranteed by related institutions, agencies or instrumentalities, could result in risks to us and general economic
conditions that we are not able to predict;

· weakness in the real estate market, including the secondary residential mortgage loan markets, has adversely affected us

and may continue to adversely affect us;

· we are subject to certain risks related to originating and selling mortgages, and may be required to repurchase mortgage
loans or indemnify mortgage loan purchasers as a result of breaches of representations and warranties, borrower fraud,

or certain breaches of our servicing agreements, and this could harm our liquidity, results of operations, and financial
condition;

· financial difficulties or credit downgrades of mortgage and bond insurers may adversely affect our servicing and

investment portfolios;

· we face certain risks as a servicer of loans, and may be terminated as a servicer or master servicer, be required to
repurchase a mortgage loan or reimburse investors for credit losses on a mortgage loan, or incur costs, liabilities, fines

and other sanctions, if we fail to satisfy our servicing obligations, including our obligations with respect to mortgage loan
foreclosure actions;


· we are subject to risks related to delays in the foreclosure process;


· we are subject to risks related to delays in the foreclosure process;


· we face risks related to recent mortgage settlements;

· we may continue to suffer increased losses in our loan portfolio despite enhancement of our underwriting policies and

practices;


· our mortgage production and servicing revenue can be volatile;

· changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets

and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity;

· changes in interest rates could also reduce the value of our mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale,

reducing our earnings;

· the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on our

earnings;


· clients could pursue alternatives to bank deposits, causing us to lose a relatively inexpensive source of funding;


· consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions, which could affect net income;


· we have businesses other than banking which subject us to a variety of risks;

· hurricanes and other disasters may adversely affect loan portfolios and operations and increase the cost of doing

business;

· we rely on other companies to provide key components of our business infrastructure;

· a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors and other

service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure or misuse

unintentional violations;

· we depend on the expertise of key personnel, and if these individuals leave or change their roles without effective

replacements, operations may suffer;

as a result of turnover, both of which may increase costs and reduce profitability and may adversely impact our ability to
implement our business strategies;

· our accounting policies and processes are critical to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and

require management to make estimates about matters that are uncertain;

· changes in our accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial results

and condition;

Declaration of Dividends, etc. Holders of Shares will be entitled to receive cash
dividends, only when, as and if declared by SunTrust's board of directors or a

duly authorized committee of the board, payable at the dividend rate applied to
the liquidation preference per Share.

Non-Cumulative Dividends. Dividends on the Shares will be non-cumulative.
For any dividend payment date we will have no obligation to pay dividends for

the corresponding dividend period after that dividend payment date or to pay
interest with respect to those dividends, whether or not we declare dividends
on the Shares for any subsequent dividend period.

Redemption
On any dividend payment date occurring on or after December 15, 2019, we
may redeem the Shares, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to
$100,000 per Share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any
declared and unpaid dividends, without regard to any undeclared dividends.

In addition, we may redeem the Shares, in whole but not in part, at any time
within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Event (as defined herein), at a

redemption price equal to $100,000 per Share (equivalent to $1,000 per
depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without regard to
any undeclared dividends.

The Shares will not be subject to any sinking fund or other obligation of

SunTrust to redeem, repurchase or retire the Shares.

Ranking
The Shares:

· will rank senior to SunTrust's junior stock with respect to the payment of
dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Junior
stock includes SunTrust's common stock and any other class of stock that

ranks junior to the Shares either as to the payment of dividends or as to the
distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or SunTrust's winding-
up.

· will rank equally with SunTrust's outstanding Perpetual Preferred Stock,
Series A, Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B and Perpetual Preferred

Stock, Series E and at least equally with each other series of parity stock
that SunTrust may issue with respect to the payment of dividends and
distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or SunTrust's winding-up.

On any dividend payment date for which full dividends are not paid, or

securities designated as ranking on parity with the Shares as to payment of
dividends, all dividends paid or declared for payment on that dividend payment
