Have you ever been in a situation where you need your card number, but your physical card is nowhere to be found? Perhaps you're making an online purchase, setting up a recurring bill, or need to confirm details for customer service. Whatever the reason, knowing how to access your Truist card number through their mobile app can be a real lifesaver!
This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of the process, ensuring you can quickly and securely view your Truist debit or credit card number directly from your phone.
Understanding Why You Might Need Your Card Number
Before we dive into the "how-to," let's briefly touch upon why this feature is so important. In our increasingly digital world, having immediate access to your card details is crucial for:
- Online Shopping: Making purchases on e-commerce websites.
- Subscription Services: Setting up or updating payment for streaming, software, or other recurring subscriptions.
- Bill Payments: Paying utility bills, loans, or other expenses online.
- Customer Service: Verifying your identity or providing card details when speaking with a merchant or Truist representative.
- Lost or Stolen Card (Temporary Access): While you should always report a lost or stolen card immediately and get a new one, temporarily accessing the number might be necessary for urgent transactions before the new card arrives (though this is generally not recommended for security reasons if the card is truly compromised).
Now, let's get down to business!

| How To See Your Card Number On Truist App |
Step 1: Get Ready to Access Your Card Information
Alright, are you ready to unlock the power of your Truist mobile app? The first thing you'll need to do is ensure you have the right tools and information at hand.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Sub-heading: What You'll Need:
- Your Smartphone: This could be an iPhone or an Android device. Make sure it's charged and has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
- The Truist Mobile App: Crucially, you must have the official Truist Mobile App installed on your device. If you don't, head over to the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android) and download it.
- Your Truist Login Credentials: This means your User ID and Password for your Truist online banking account. Keep them handy! If you've forgotten them, there will usually be options to recover or reset them on the login screen.
- Security Measures: Be prepared for potential security verification steps, such as a one-time passcode sent to your registered phone number or email, or biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition) if you have it enabled.
Step 2: Launch the Truist Mobile App and Log In
This is where your journey to seeing your card number begins!
- Locate the App Icon: On your phone's home screen or app drawer, find the Truist Mobile App icon. It typically features the Truist logo.
- Tap to Open: Give it a tap to launch the application.
- Enter Your Login Credentials:
- You'll be presented with the login screen.
- Carefully enter your Truist User ID in the designated field.
- Next, enter your Password.
- Double-check both for any typos. Passwords are case-sensitive!
- Initiate Login: Tap the "Sign In" or "Log In" button.
Sub-heading: Navigating Security Prompts
Truist takes your security seriously (as they should!), so you might encounter some additional steps:
- One-Time Passcode (OTP): If prompted, a one-time passcode will be sent to your phone number or email address linked to your account. Retrieve this code and enter it into the app.
- Biometric Authentication: If you've set up Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint login, the app might ask you to verify your identity using these methods for quick access. Simply follow the on-screen instructions.
Once successfully logged in, you'll land on your Truist dashboard, which provides an overview of your accounts.
Step 3: Locate Your Card Information within the App
Now that you're in, it's time to pinpoint the section where your card details reside.
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
- Access Accounts/Cards Section: Look for a section or menu option that refers to "Accounts," "Cards," or "My Accounts." This is usually prominently displayed on the main dashboard or accessible through a main menu (often represented by three horizontal lines, also known as a "hamburger menu," in the top corner).
- Select the Desired Card: Once you're in the "Accounts" or "Cards" section, you'll see a list of your Truist accounts and associated cards (debit, credit, etc.). Tap on the specific debit or credit card for which you want to view the full card number.
Sub-heading: Finding "Card Details" or Similar Option
After selecting your card, you'll typically be taken to a page that shows recent transactions and basic card information. To see the full card number, you'll need to look for an option like:
- "View Card Details"
- "Card Information"
- "Manage Card"
- "Show Card Number"
Tap on this option.
Step 4: Authenticate and Reveal Your Card Number
This is the final, crucial step where your card number is revealed. Due to security protocols, Truist will require another layer of verification at this point.
- Security Verification: The app will likely prompt you for another security step to reveal your sensitive card information. This often involves:
- Entering your Card PIN (for debit cards).
- Entering your Login Password again.
- Using Biometric Authentication (Face ID, Touch ID/fingerprint).
- A combination of these.
- Do not skip this step! It's there to protect your financial information.
- View Your Card Number: Once you successfully complete the security verification, your full 16-digit card number will be displayed on the screen. You may also see the expiration date and the CVV/CVC code (the 3 or 4 digit security code on the back of your card).
Sub-heading: Important Security Reminders
- Do NOT share your card number with anyone you don't trust.
- Avoid leaving your phone unattended with your card number displayed.
- Memorize the number if you need it frequently, rather than always pulling it up on the app in public.
- As soon as you're done, navigate away from the card details screen or close the app.
Congratulations! You've successfully accessed your Truist card number through the mobile app. This feature provides a convenient and secure way to manage your finances on the go.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
