| How To Find Your Routing Number On The Truist App |
Step 1: Launch the Truist App and Log In
Are you already logged in? If so, you're one step ahead! If not, this is your starting point.
- Locate the Truist App: Find the Truist app icon on your smartphone or tablet's home screen. It typically features the Truist logo.
- Tap to Open: Give that icon a tap to launch the application.
- Enter Your Credentials: You'll be prompted to enter your username and password for your Truist online banking account.
- Secure Login: Depending on your device's security settings, you might also need to use biometric authentication (fingerprint or face ID) or a one-time passcode for an extra layer of security. Always ensure you're using a secure Wi-Fi connection when accessing your banking information.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Accounts Overview
Once successfully logged in, you'll usually land on your accounts dashboard or a summary page. This is where you get a quick glance at all your Truist accounts.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- Look for "Accounts" or "My Accounts": On the main screen, you should see an option to view your accounts. This might be a prominent button, a tab at the bottom, or an option within a main menu (often represented by three horizontal lines, sometimes called a "hamburger menu").
- Tap to View All Accounts: Select this option to see a list of all your checking, savings, credit, and other Truist accounts.
Step 3: Select the Desired Account
This is a crucial step! Your routing number can sometimes vary slightly depending on the type of account or even the region where it was opened (especially for older accounts that originated with BB&T or SunTrust before the merger).
- Identify the Correct Account: From the list of your accounts, tap on the specific checking or savings account for which you need the routing number. For most everyday transactions like direct deposit, this will be your primary checking account.
- Important Note: If you have multiple accounts and are unsure which routing number to use, it's always best to verify with the recipient of the routing number (e.g., your employer for direct deposit) or consult Truist customer service. However, the primary routing number for most Truist accounts is 061000104.
Step 4: View Account Details
Now you're getting close! After selecting your account, you'll typically be taken to a screen showing that account's specific details.
- Look for "Account Details" or Similar: On this screen, search for a link or button that says something like "View account details," "Account info," or "Show details." This option might be located near your account balance.
- Tap to Reveal Information: Tap on this option. This will usually expand a section or take you to a new page displaying more in-depth information about your selected account.
Step 5: Locate Your Routing Number
Bingo! Your routing number should now be clearly displayed.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
- Find the Routing Number: Within the account details, you will see your routing number listed. It is typically a nine-digit number. It might be labeled simply as "Routing Number" or "ABA Routing Number."
- Note it Down: Carefully note down this number. Double-check each digit to ensure accuracy, especially if you're using it for critical transactions like direct deposit or wire transfers. You might also see your full account number displayed on this screen.
Understanding Routing Numbers
A routing number, also known as an ABA (American Bankers Association) routing transit number (RTN), is a nine-digit code used to identify financial institutions in the United States. It's like a bank's address, ensuring that electronic transactions, such as direct deposits, wire transfers, and ACH payments, are routed to the correct bank.
- Why are they important? Without the correct routing number, your transactions could be delayed, rejected, or even sent to the wrong bank entirely.
- Do banks have multiple routing numbers? Yes, some banks, especially larger ones like Truist (formed from the merger of BB&T and SunTrust), might have multiple routing numbers depending on the region or the specific type of transaction. However, the one found in your account details on the app is generally the one you'll need for most common uses.
- What about international transfers? For international wire transfers, you'll also need a SWIFT code in addition to your routing number. Truist's SWIFT code is typically SNTRUS3A.
