| How Do I Find My Routing Number On Truist App |
Step 1: Get Ready to Log In!
First things first, you'll need to have the Truist mobile app downloaded on your smartphone or tablet. If you haven't already, head over to your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS) and search for "Truist Mobile." Download and install it.
Once installed, open the Truist app. You'll be greeted with the login screen. This is where your journey to finding your routing number begins!
- Existing User? Great! Simply enter your User ID and Password to log in.
- New to the App? If you're new to the Truist app but have online banking credentials, you'll use those to log in for the first time. If you haven't set up online banking yet, you might need to register on the Truist website first before you can use the app.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Accounts
After successfully logging in, you'll typically land on your account summary screen. This screen provides a quick overview of all your Truist accounts, such as checking, savings, and credit cards.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
- Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the layout if it's your first time. You'll see your account balances and perhaps recent transactions.
Step 3: Select the Relevant Account
Now, this is a crucial step. Your routing number is generally tied to a specific account type, most commonly your checking or savings account.
- Tap on the account for which you need the routing number. For most purposes like direct deposit, you'll be looking for the routing number associated with your primary checking account.
- For example, if you need it for a direct deposit into your checking account, tap on your "Checking Account."
Step 4: Locate "View Account Details"
Once you've selected your account, you'll be taken to a screen displaying more detailed information about that specific account. Look for an option that says "View account details" or something similar. It might be a small link or a button, usually located near the top or bottom of the account details screen.
- This option is your gateway to essential account information, including your routing number.
Step 5: Voila! Your Routing Number!
Upon tapping "View account details," a new screen will appear, revealing a wealth of information about your selected account. This is where you'll find your elusive routing number.
- Look for a clearly labeled section that says "Routing Number" or "Bank Routing Number."
- You'll see a nine-digit number displayed there. This is your Truist routing number for that specific account.
- You might also see your full account number listed here as well.
Important Considerations:
- Multiple Routing Numbers? While Truist largely uses one primary routing number (often 061000104, which was historically tied to SunTrust), some accounts, particularly those that originated with BB&T before the merger, might have state-specific or older routing numbers. The app will display the correct routing number for your specific account. Always refer to the one shown in your app or online banking.
- ACH vs. Wire Transfers: For most common transactions like direct deposits and automatic bill payments (ACH transfers), the routing number found in your app will suffice. For international wire transfers, you'll also need a SWIFT code in addition to the routing number. The SWIFT code for Truist is typically SNTRUS3A.
- Security: Always be cautious when sharing your routing and account numbers. Only provide them to trusted individuals or institutions for legitimate purposes.
