This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of downloading your Truist bank statements, ensuring you can access them whenever you need them.
So, are you ready to take control of your financial records? Let's dive in!
Step 1: Accessing Truist Online Banking – Your Digital Gateway
The first and most crucial step is to get yourself logged into your Truist Online Banking account. This is where all your digital banking information resides, including your statements.
1.1 Navigating to the Truist Website
- Open your preferred web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari).
- In the address bar, type truist.com and press Enter. This will take you to the official Truist Bank website.
1.2 Logging In to Your Account
- Look for the "Sign In" button, usually located in the top right corner of the homepage. Click on it.
- You will be prompted to enter your User ID and Password.
- Important Tip: Ensure you are on the official Truist website to avoid phishing scams. Always double-check the URL!
- After entering your credentials, click the "Sign In" button.
1.3 Handling Security Verifications (If Applicable)
- For security purposes, Truist may occasionally require additional verification steps, especially if you're logging in from a new device or location. This might involve:
- Receiving a one-time passcode via text message or email.
- Answering security questions you've previously set up.
- Follow the on-screen prompts carefully to complete any necessary security verifications. This ensures your account remains secure.

Step 2: Locating Your Account and Statements
Once you're successfully logged into your Truist Online Banking, it's time to find the specific account for which you want to download statements and then navigate to the statements section.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
2.1 Navigating to the Accounts Section
- After logging in, you'll typically land on your dashboard or a summary page of all your Truist accounts.
- Look for a section or tab labeled "Accounts". This might be in a top navigation bar or a sidebar menu. Click on "Accounts".
2.2 Selecting the Desired Account
- You will see a list of all your Truist accounts (checking, savings, credit cards, loans, etc.).
- Click on the specific account for which you wish to download the statement. This will take you to the account's details page.
2.3 Finding the Statements/Documents Tab
- On the individual account's page, look for a tab or link that says "Documents" or "Statements". The exact wording might vary slightly depending on the Truist online banking interface updates, but it will generally be clear.
- Click on this tab.
Step 3: Choosing Your Statement Period and Initiating Download
You're almost there! Now you'll specify which statement you want and download it.
3.1 Selecting the Statement Period
- Within the "Statements" or "Documents" section, you'll typically find a list of your available statements, usually organized by month and year.
- There might be a dropdown menu or similar option that allows you to select a specific statement period (e.g., "June 2025," "Last 3 Months," "Custom Range").
- Choose the statement period you need. Truist generally provides access to statements for a significant historical period, though there might be limitations for very old statements (sometimes beyond 18-24 months may require a special request).
3.2 Reviewing and Downloading the Statement
- Once you've selected the period, the corresponding statement will usually appear in a preview window or as a direct link.
- Look for a "Download" icon (often an arrow pointing down), a "Save" button, or a "Print" option.
- Click the "Download" option. Most Truist bank statements are provided in PDF format, which is a widely accessible and secure document type.
- Your browser will then prompt you to choose a location on your computer to save the file.
- It's recommended to save it in a secure and easily locatable folder (e.g., "Financial Documents," "Bank Statements").
- You can also rename the file to something more descriptive, like "TruistChecking_June2025.pdf".
- Click "Save" to complete the download.
Step 4: Accessing Statements via the Truist Mobile App (Alternative Method)
For those who prefer managing their finances on the go, the Truist mobile app offers a convenient way to access your statements.
4.1 Downloading and Logging into the Truist Mobile App
- If you haven't already, download the Truist Mobile Banking App from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).
- Open the app and log in using your Truist Online Banking User ID and Password. You may also be able to enable biometric login (fingerprint/Face ID) for quicker access.
4.2 Navigating to Statements in the App
- Once logged in, the app interface is designed for ease of use. You'll typically see a summary of your accounts on the main screen.
- Tap on the specific account you want to view statements for.
- Look for an option like "Documents," "Statements," or "More" (which often leads to a menu containing "Documents"). Tap on this option.
4.3 Selecting and Viewing/Downloading Statements
- Similar to the online banking website, you'll see a list of available statements.
- Tap on the statement period you wish to view.
- The statement will usually open within the app as a PDF. You'll typically find options within the PDF viewer to download or share the statement (e.g., to your device's files, email, or cloud storage).
- Select the download option to save the statement to your mobile device.
Step 5: Ensuring Security and Organizing Your Statements
Downloading your statements is just one part of the process. Protecting them and keeping them organized is equally important.

5.1 Best Practices for Security
- Always use a secure, private Wi-Fi network when accessing your bank accounts. Avoid public Wi-Fi.
- Log out of your Truist account (both online banking and the mobile app) after you are finished.
- Save downloaded statements in a secure location on your computer or device. Consider creating a dedicated folder for financial documents and, if possible, encrypting it or using a password manager for additional security.
- Regularly update your operating system and web browser to ensure you have the latest security patches.
5.2 Organizing Your Digital Statements
- Create a dedicated folder on your computer named something like "Bank Statements".
- Within this folder, create subfolders for each year (e.g., "2024 Statements," "2025 Statements").
- Rename your downloaded PDF statements with a clear and consistent naming convention (e.g., "Truist_Checking_2025-06.pdf" or "Truist_Savings_Statement_March2025.pdf"). This makes them much easier to find later.
- Consider backing up your statements to an external hard drive or a secure cloud storage service for added peace of mind.
