| How To Find Account Number On Truist App |
Step 1: Get Ready to Access Your Truist Account
Before we begin, let's make sure you're all set up.
Sub-heading: Ensure You Have the Truist Mobile App Installed
First things first: do you have the Truist Mobile App downloaded on your smartphone or tablet? If not, head over to your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS) and search for "Truist Mobile Banking." Download and install the app. It's a free and essential tool for managing your Truist accounts on the go.
Sub-heading: Gather Your Login Credentials
You'll need your Truist User ID and Password to log in. If you've forgotten them, don't worry! The app usually provides options to recover or reset your credentials right from the login screen. It's always a good idea to have these handy or use a secure password manager.
Step 2: Logging into the Truist Mobile App
This is where the magic begins!
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
Sub-heading: Open the Truist App
Locate the Truist app icon on your device's home screen or app drawer and tap on it to open. You'll be greeted by the Truist splash screen, which will then lead you to the login page.
Sub-heading: Enter Your User ID and Password
On the login screen, carefully enter your User ID and Password in the designated fields. Double-check for any typos, especially if you're using a complex password.
Sub-heading: Secure Login with Biometrics (Optional but Recommended)
For enhanced security and convenience, if your device supports it, you might be prompted to enable Face ID or Touch ID (fingerprint login). We highly recommend setting this up as it makes future logins much faster and more secure. Simply follow the on-screen prompts to enable this feature.
Step 3: Navigating to Your Account Details
Once you're successfully logged in, you'll land on your Truist app dashboard, which provides an overview of your accounts.
Sub-heading: Select the Desired Account
On your dashboard, you'll see a list of your Truist accounts (e.g., checking, savings, credit cards). Carefully identify and tap on the specific account for which you need the account number. For instance, if you need the account number for your primary checking account, tap on that checking account's summary.
Sub-heading: Look for "View Account Details" or Similar Option
After selecting the account, you'll typically be taken to a screen showing the account's recent transactions and current balance. On this screen, look for an option like "View Account Details," "Account Info," or a similar link. This option is usually prominently displayed, sometimes near the top of the screen or within a menu related to the account. Tap on this option.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
Step 4: Revealing Your Account Number
You're almost there! This is the final step to uncovering your account number.
Sub-heading: Locate Your Account Number
Once you tap on "View Account Details," a new screen will appear, displaying more specific information about your chosen account. This is where you will find your full account number clearly listed. It might be labeled simply as "Account Number" or "Bank Account Number." You'll also likely see your routing number here, which is often needed for direct deposits and wire transfers.
Sub-heading: Understanding the Information Displayed
- Account Number: This is the unique identifier for your specific bank account. It's typically a string of numbers.
- Routing Number: This is a nine-digit code that identifies your financial institution (Truist Bank, in this case) for transactions like direct deposits and electronic funds transfers. Truist primarily uses 061000104 as its core routing number, but it's always best to confirm directly from your app.
- Account Type: You'll also see whether the account is a checking, savings, or other type of account.
- Current Balance: Your current account balance will also be visible on this screen.
Step 5: Important Considerations and Security Tips
Now that you have your account number, let's talk about keeping it safe.

Sub-heading: Do Not Share Your Account Number Carelessly
Your account number, especially when combined with your routing number, can be used for various transactions. Only share this information with trusted entities like your employer for direct deposit, utility companies for bill payments, or other financial institutions for transfers you initiate. Be wary of unsolicited requests for this information.
Sub-heading: Avoid Storing Account Numbers in Unsecured Locations
Resist the urge to write your account number on sticky notes or store it in unencrypted documents on your computer. If you need to keep a record, use a secure password manager or a physical, locked location.
Sub-heading: Always Log Out After Use
Especially if you're using a shared device or public Wi-Fi, always remember to log out of the Truist app when you're finished. This prevents unauthorized access to your financial information.
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
Sub-heading: Regularly Review Account Activity
Even if you're only looking for your account number, take a moment to review your recent transactions while you're in the app. This helps you spot any unauthorized activity quickly.
