You've come to the right place if you're looking to get a clear picture of your financial activity with Truist! Printing your transaction history is a smart move for many reasons – whether it's for budgeting, tax purposes, or just keeping a detailed record of your spending. Let's dive into a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to help you effortlessly retrieve and print your Truist transaction history.
Understanding Your Options: Statements vs. Transaction History
Before we begin, it's important to differentiate between two common terms:
- Bank Statements: These are formal, summary documents issued periodically (usually monthly) that provide a snapshot of your account activity, including opening and closing balances, a list of transactions, and any fees. Truist generally provides these in PDF format.
- Transaction History: This refers to a more detailed, often real-time, list of all your recent transactions that you can typically view and sometimes download directly from your online banking portal or mobile app. This might offer more flexibility in terms of date ranges and filtering.
While you can print both, for a detailed "transaction history," you'll usually be looking to download and print specific activity rather than just the monthly statement.

Step 1: Get Ready to Access Your Truist Account – Let's Do This!
Alright, are you ready to take control of your financial records? Fantastic! The very first step is to ensure you have everything you need to securely access your Truist account.
Sub-heading: Essential Prerequisites
- Reliable Internet Connection: This might seem obvious, but a stable internet connection is crucial for a smooth experience.
- Your Truist User ID and Password: Have these handy. If you've forgotten them, don't worry, we'll cover how to reset them quickly.
- A Computer or Mobile Device: You can access your transaction history through either Truist's online banking portal on a computer or their mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. For printing, a computer will generally offer more flexibility.
- A Printer (if you plan to print physical copies): Make sure your printer is connected and has enough ink and paper.
Sub-heading: Troubleshooting Login Issues
- Forgotten User ID or Password? Navigate to the Truist online banking login page and look for the "Forgot User ID" or "Reset Password" links. Follow the prompts to securely regain access to your account.
- Having Trouble Logging In?
- Double-check your credentials. Typos happen to the best of us!
- Clear your browser's cache and cookies. Sometimes old data can interfere with the login process.
- Try a different browser. If you're using Chrome, try Firefox or Edge, for example.
- Ensure your device's date and time are accurate. Incorrect settings can sometimes cause security certificate issues.
Step 2: Navigating to Your Transaction History via Online Banking (Recommended for Printing)
This is generally the most straightforward method for accessing and printing a comprehensive transaction history.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
Sub-heading: Logging In Securely
- Open your preferred web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari).
- Go to the official Truist Bank website. Always ensure you are on the legitimate Truist site (truist.com) to avoid phishing scams. Look for the padlock icon in the address bar and "https://" at the beginning of the URL.
- Click on the "Sign In" button. This is usually prominently displayed in the top right corner of the homepage.
- Enter your User ID and Password.
- Click "Sign In" or press Enter. You may be prompted for an additional security verification, such as a one-time passcode sent to your phone or email.
Sub-heading: Locating Your Accounts and Statements
- Once logged in, you should see your account dashboard.
- Look for a section or tab labeled "Accounts," "My Accounts," or similar. This is where all your Truist accounts (checking, savings, credit cards, loans) will be listed.
- Select the specific account for which you want to print the transaction history. Click on the account name or number.
- You'll now be on the account details page. Look for options like "Statements & Documents" or "Transaction History." Sometimes, the transaction history is directly visible on the main account overview.
Sub-heading: Filtering and Selecting Your Desired Transactions
- On the transaction history page, you'll usually see a list of recent transactions.
- Look for a "Filter" or "Date Range" option. This is critical for getting the specific history you need.
- Choose your desired period. You might have options like:
- Last 30 days
- Last 60 days
- Last 90 days
- Custom Date Range: This is your best bet for specific periods, such as a full calendar year for tax purposes. Select your start and end dates.
- Apply any additional filters if available (e.g., transaction type - deposits, withdrawals, debits, credits).
- After applying filters, your transaction list will update to show only the relevant transactions. Scroll through and visually confirm that the displayed transactions are what you're looking for.
Step 3: Downloading and Printing Your Transaction History
Once you have the desired transactions displayed, it's time to get them ready for printing.
Sub-heading: Downloading as a PDF (Most Common and Recommended)
- On the transaction history page, look for an option like "Download Statement," "Download Transactions," or a PDF icon. This is the most common way Truist provides statements and transaction summaries.
- Click on the download option. The system will usually generate a PDF file of your selected transaction history.
- Choose a secure location on your computer to save the PDF file. Give it a descriptive name like "TruistCheckingHistory_2024.pdf" for easy retrieval.
Sub-heading: Other Download Formats (If Available)
Some banks offer other formats that can be useful for specific purposes:
- CSV (Comma Separated Values): This format opens in spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. It's excellent for data analysis, budgeting, or importing into accounting software. If you see a "Download CSV" option, consider using it if you need to manipulate the data.
- QBO (QuickBooks Online) or Quicken compatible files: These are specifically designed for importing into financial management software.
Remember, while these formats are great for data, you'll typically print them from the corresponding software after import, not directly from the Truist website.
Sub-heading: Printing the Downloaded PDF
- Open the downloaded PDF file using a PDF reader (like Adobe Acrobat Reader, built-in browser PDF viewer, etc.).
- Once the PDF is open, look for the printer icon or go to "File" > "Print" in the menu.
- A print dialog box will appear. Here, you can adjust settings:
- Select your printer.
- Pages to print: Choose "All" or a specific range if the history spans many pages.
- Copies: Usually one is sufficient.
- Orientation: Portrait or Landscape, depending on how the data is displayed.
- Scale/Fit: Ensure the content fits properly on the page.
- Review the print preview to make sure everything looks good before clicking "Print."
- Click "Print." Congratulations! You now have a physical copy of your Truist transaction history.
Step 4: Printing from the Truist Mobile App (Alternative Method)
While directly printing from the mobile app is less common than downloading a PDF and then printing, you can often view and sometimes share/print from the app.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Sub-heading: Accessing History on the Mobile App
- Open the Truist Mobile App on your smartphone or tablet.
- Sign in using your credentials, Face ID, or Touch ID.
- Tap on the account for which you want the transaction history.
- You'll see a list of recent transactions.
- Look for options like "View Statements," "Documents," or a way to expand your transaction history. The mobile app often prioritizes quick viewing of recent activity.
Sub-heading: Sharing or Printing from the App
Direct printing might not be a standard feature for real-time transaction history within the app. However, you might find:
- A "Share" icon (usually a square with an upward arrow on iOS, or three connected dots on Android): Tapping this might allow you to send the displayed screen or a generated summary to an email, cloud storage, or directly to a wireless printer if your device supports it.
- "View Statements" section: This will typically lead you to PDF versions of your official monthly statements, which you can then open and print (if your device is connected to a wireless printer) or share via email to a computer for printing.
If direct printing of granular transaction history isn't available, your best bet is to use the online banking portal as described in Step 2 and 3.
Step 5: When All Else Fails – Contacting Truist Customer Service
If you've tried the above methods and are still having difficulty, Truist's customer service is there to help.
Sub-heading: How to Reach Out
- Phone: The primary customer service number for Truist is generally 844-4TRUIST (844-487-8478). Have your account details ready. Be prepared for security questions to verify your identity.
- In-Person at a Branch: If you prefer face-to-face assistance, you can visit a local Truist branch. Use the branch locator on the Truist website to find the nearest one. It's a good idea to call ahead to see if an appointment is recommended.
- Secure Message (Online Banking): Many banks offer a secure messaging system within their online banking portal. This can be a good option for non-urgent requests. Look for a "Messages" or "Contact Us" section after logging in.
Sub-heading: What to Request
Clearly state what you need: "I need to print my transaction history for my [Account Type, e.g., Checking] account from [Start Date] to [End Date]." They may be able to mail you a physical copy of your statement or provide guidance on downloading it.
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
