People are currently reading this guide.

Ever found yourself in a bind, needing your bank account and routing number for something important like setting up direct deposit or paying a bill, only to realize you don't have a checkbook handy? Don't fret! If you're a Truist customer, your mobile banking app is your digital wallet for this crucial information. This comprehensive guide will walk you through, step-by-step, how to easily find your account and routing number right within the Truist app. Let's get started!

Unlocking Your Financial Information: A Guide to the Truist App

Your account and routing numbers are fundamental to managing your finances. The account number is a unique identifier for your specific account at the bank, while the routing number identifies your bank within the U.S. financial system. Together, they act like an address for your money, ensuring it goes to and comes from the right place. The Truist app makes accessing this information incredibly convenient.


Step 1: Get Ready to Dive In! (And Why You Need This Info)

Alright, before we even open the app, let's quickly think about why you're looking for these numbers. Are you setting up direct deposit for your new job? Paying a bill online? Transferring funds to another bank? Knowing your purpose can help reinforce the importance of accurate information.

Have your Truist app downloaded and ready on your smartphone or tablet? Excellent! 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." Download and install it.


Step 2: Log In to Your Truist Account – Securely!

This is where the magic begins.

  • Launch the Truist App: Tap on the Truist app icon on your device's home screen.
  • Enter Your Credentials: You'll be prompted to enter your User ID and Password. Type them carefully.
  • Embrace Biometrics (Optional but Recommended!): If you've set up fingerprint or facial recognition on your device and enabled it for the Truist app, you might be able to log in even faster and more securely with just a touch or a glance! This is a fantastic time-saver and adds an extra layer of security.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (If Applicable): Depending on your security settings, you might receive a one-time passcode via text or email to verify your identity. Enter this code to proceed.

Pro Tip: Always ensure you're on a secure and trusted Wi-Fi network (or using mobile data) when accessing your banking app. Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions.


Step 3: Navigate to Your Account Details

Once you're securely logged in, you'll land on your Truist dashboard, which typically shows an overview of your accounts.

  • Select the Desired Account: You'll see a list of your Truist accounts (checking, savings, credit cards, etc.). Tap on the specific account for which you need the routing and account numbers. For most purposes like direct deposit, this will be your primary checking account.
  • Look for "View Account Details" or Similar: After selecting your account, you'll be taken to that account's summary page. Now, look for an option that says something like ***"View account details"***, ***"Account Info"***, or similar. This is usually a link or a button prominently displayed. It might be located slightly below your account balance or within a "More" or "Settings" menu for that specific account.

Step 4: Behold! Your Account and Routing Numbers

This is the moment of truth!

  • Locate the Information: Once you tap "View account details," you should see your crucial banking information displayed. You'll typically find:

    • Your Full Account Number: This will be a series of digits unique to your account.
    • Your Routing Number: This is a 9-digit number that identifies Truist Bank for electronic transactions. Note that Truist (formerly BB&T and SunTrust) generally uses the routing number 061000104 for most purposes, but always confirm the one displayed in your app as it can vary based on where your account was opened.
  • Important Considerations:

    • Some apps may mask a portion of your account number for security reasons, displaying only the last few digits. There's usually an option to "Show Full Account Number" or an "eye" icon to reveal it.
    • Double-check the numbers before writing them down or entering them elsewhere. Accuracy is paramount!

Step 5: Safely Use and Store Your Information

Now that you have the numbers, what's next?

  • Write it Down (Safely!): If you need to provide these numbers to an employer or biller, carefully write them down on a secure piece of paper. Avoid storing them unencrypted on your phone or in easily accessible digital notes.
  • Direct Deposit Forms: Many employers will require you to fill out a direct deposit form. You can often find a blank form on the Truist website or sometimes even directly within the app under "Services" or "Forms." You'll then fill in your routing and account numbers. Some employers might also ask for a voided check, which has this information printed on it.
  • Online Bill Pay: When setting up online bill payments, you'll typically enter these numbers into the payee's website.
  • Security Reminder: Your account and routing numbers are sensitive. While they alone generally aren't enough for someone to withdraw money from your account, they can be used to deposit funds or set up automatic payments. Always be cautious about who you share this information with. Only provide it to trusted entities.

Step 6: Log Out and Stay Secure

After you've successfully retrieved your information, it's good practice to log out of the app.

  • Look for the "Log Out" Option: This is usually found in the main menu, often in the top corner or under a "More" or "Settings" section.
  • Confirm Log Out: Confirm your log out to ensure your session is terminated.

By following these steps, you can confidently and securely find your Truist account and routing numbers whenever you need them, all from the convenience of your mobile device!
