Go to Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone/iPad, or check the Watch app for your Apple Watch, or System Settings/Preferences for your Mac.
- An Apple ID Signed In: You'll need to be signed into your Apple ID on your device.

Once you're in the Wallet interface, it's time to tell your device you want to add a new card.

Step 4: Entering Your Truist Card Details – The Information Transfer

Sub-heading: Option A: Using Your Device's Camera (The Easiest Way!)
- Position your Truist card within the camera frame on your iPhone or iPad. The device will automatically scan the card number and expiration date.
- Verify that the scanned information is correct.
- You will then be prompted to manually enter the security code (CVV) from the back of your card.
- For Apple Watch, you might still use your iPhone's camera for scanning, or you'll need to enter the details manually on your iPhone.
Sub-heading: Option B: Entering Details Manually
- If you prefer, or if the camera isn't scanning effectively, you can choose "Enter Card Details Manually" (this option is usually available on the same screen as the camera scan).
- Carefully enter the following information from your Truist card:
- Card Number: The 16-digit number on the front of your card.
- Expiration Date: The month and year the card expires.
- Security Code (CVV): The 3-digit code on the back of your debit/credit card (usually in the signature strip).
- Tap "Next" or "Continue" after entering the details.
Step 5: Verification with Truist – Ensuring Security
This is a crucial security step where Truist verifies your identity and confirms the card addition.
Sub-heading: Choosing Your Verification Method:
Truist will typically offer one or more ways to verify that you are the legitimate cardholder. Common methods include:
- Text Message: A verification code will be sent to the phone number associated with your Truist account. Enter this code into the Apple Wallet prompt.
- Email: A verification code might be sent to your email address on file with Truist.
- Call Truist: You may be instructed to call Truist directly to verify the card addition.
- Truist Mobile App: Sometimes, a prompt will appear in your Truist mobile banking app for quick verification.
Sub-heading: Completing the Verification:
- Follow the on-screen instructions carefully based on the verification method you choose.
- Once you successfully complete the verification, Truist will approve your card for use with Apple Pay. You'll see a confirmation message on your device.
Step 6: Accepting Terms and Conditions – The Final Step

Troubleshooting Tips if You Encounter Issues
While the process is generally smooth, sometimes minor issues can arise. Here are some common troubleshooting steps:
- Double-check Card Details: Ensure you've entered your card number, expiration date, and CVV accurately. Even a single digit error can prevent activation.
