The Importance of an Up-to-Date Billing Address
Before we dive into the "how-to," let's briefly touch on why keeping your billing address current is so important:
- Security: It helps Truist verify your identity and protect your account from fraud. If your address doesn't match the bank's records, it could flag suspicious activity.
- Correspondence: You'll receive important statements, notices, and other official communication from Truist at your correct address.
- Card Transactions: Many online and in-store transactions rely on your billing address for verification (Address Verification Service - AVS). An outdated address can lead to declined transactions.
- Compliance: Financial institutions are required to have accurate customer information for regulatory compliance.
Now that we understand the importance, let's get to the practical steps!

| How To Change Billing Address On Truist App |
Step 1: Prepare for Your Address Change
Ready to make the change? Before you even open the Truist app, there are a few things you should have handy. This preparation will ensure a quick and seamless process.
1.1 Gather Your Information
- Your Truist Login Credentials: Make sure you remember your User ID and Password for the Truist app. If you've forgotten them, you'll need to go through the recovery process before proceeding.
- Your New Billing Address: Double-check that you have the complete and accurate new address, including street number, street name, apartment/unit number (if applicable), city, state, and ZIP code.
- Any Supporting Documentation (Optional but Recommended): While often not required for a simple address change through the app, it's good practice to have access to a utility bill, lease agreement, or driver's license with your new address, just in case Truist requires additional verification or if you need to contact customer service.
1.2 Ensure You Have the Latest App Version
It's crucial to have the most up-to-date version of the Truist app installed on your smartphone or tablet. App updates often include bug fixes, security enhancements, and new features, which could include improvements to the address change process.
- For Apple iOS Devices: Go to the App Store, tap your profile picture, and scroll down to see pending updates. If Truist is listed, tap "Update."
- For Android Devices: Open the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, then "Manage apps & device," and check for available updates. If Truist is listed, tap "Update."
Step 2: Logging In to the Truist App
This is where the magic begins!
2.1 Launch the Truist App
Locate the Truist app icon on your device's home screen or app drawer and tap it to open the application. You'll usually see the Truist logo as it loads.
2.2 Enter Your Credentials
You will be prompted to enter your User ID and Password.
- Carefully enter your User ID.
- Then, enter your Password. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.
- Tap the "Sign In" or "Log In" button.
2.3 Two-Factor Authentication (If Applicable)
For enhanced security, Truist may require two-factor authentication (2FA). This usually involves:
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
- Receiving a one-time passcode (OTP) via text message to your registered phone number or email.
- You will then need to enter this OTP into the app to complete your login. Do not share this code with anyone.
Step 3: Navigating to Your Profile or Settings
Once you're logged in, you'll need to find the section where you can manage your personal information.
3.1 Locate the Main Menu or Profile Icon
The exact location might vary slightly depending on your app version, but generally, look for:
- A "Menu" icon (often three horizontal lines, sometimes called a "hamburger" menu) usually in the top-left or top-right corner.
- A "Profile" icon (often a silhouette of a person or your initials) also typically in the top-left or top-right corner.
- Sometimes, there's a dedicated "Settings" or "My Settings" option directly visible on the main dashboard.
3.2 Access Your Profile/Contact Information
Tap on the relevant icon or menu option. From the menu, you'll want to find something like:
- "Profile"
- "My Profile"
- "Settings"
- "Account Settings"
- "Contact Information"
- "Personal Information"
Tap on the option that most closely matches "Profile" or "Contact Information."
Step 4: Initiating the Address Change
Within your profile or settings, you'll find the section dedicated to your address.
4.1 Find Your Current Address
You should see your current mailing or billing address displayed. There will typically be an option to edit it.
- Look for an "Edit" button, a "pencil icon," or a direct field that you can tap to modify the address.
4.2 Select "Edit Address"
Tap on the option that allows you to modify your existing address. This will usually open a new screen or pop-up.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Step 5: Entering Your New Billing Address
This is the most critical part: accurately inputting your new details.
5.1 Input New Address Details
You will be presented with fields to enter your new address. Carefully type in each part:
- Street Address 1: Enter your house number and street name.
- Street Address 2 (Optional): If you have an apartment, suite, or unit number, enter it here.
- City: Type in the city of your new address.
- State: Select your state from the dropdown menu, if provided, or type it in.
- ZIP Code: Enter your five-digit (or nine-digit) ZIP code.
5.2 Review and Verify
This step cannot be stressed enough. Before proceeding, double-check every single character of the new address you've entered. A single typo can lead to significant issues.
- Ensure correct spelling of street names and city names.
- Verify the accuracy of numbers and apartment/unit designations.
- Confirm the correct ZIP code.
Step 6: Confirming and Submitting the Change
You're almost there!
6.1 Review Changes
After entering your new address, the app will likely present a summary of the changes you're about to make. This is your final opportunity to review everything.
