Step 1: Embark on Your Digital Banking Journey – Download and Log In!
Alright, before we dive into viewing your card, the very first thing you need is the Truist Mobile App itself. If you already have it, fantastic! You're one step closer. If not, don't worry, it's a quick and easy process.
Sub-heading: Downloading the Truist Mobile App
- For iPhone Users: Head over to the App Store. In the search bar, type "Truist Mobile" and tap on the official Truist app. Look for the familiar Truist logo!
- For Android Users: Open the Google Play Store. Search for "Truist Mobile" and select the correct app from the results. Again, confirm it's the official Truist application.
Once you've found it, simply tap "Install" or "Get" and let your device do the rest.
Sub-heading: Logging In Securely
Now that the app is on your phone, it's time to log in.
-
Launch the Truist App: Tap on the Truist app icon on your home screen.
-
Enter Your Credentials: You'll be prompted to enter your User ID and Password. Make sure you enter them carefully.
-
Two-Factor Authentication (MFA): For your security, Truist often uses a two-factor authentication process. This might involve:
- Receiving a one-time passcode via text message to your registered phone number.
- Receiving a one-time passcode via email to your registered email address.
- Using biometric authentication like Face ID or Touch ID if your device supports it and you have it enabled. This is often the fastest and most convenient way to log in.
Always choose the most secure and convenient option for you. Once you successfully authenticate, you'll be on your way!
Step 2: Navigating to Your Accounts and Cards
You're in! Welcome to the Truist Mobile App dashboard. This is where you get a quick overview of your financial world. To view your card details, you'll need to navigate to the "Accounts & Cards" section.
Sub-heading: Locating Your Accounts
On the main dashboard, you'll typically see a summary of your accounts – checking, savings, credit cards, loans, etc.
- Look for a section or tab that says "Accounts" or "Accounts & Cards." This is usually prominently displayed.
- Alternatively, you might find it within a "Main Menu" or "More" option, often represented by three horizontal lines (a "hamburger" icon) in a corner of the screen. Tap on this and then look for "Accounts & Cards" or "Card Controls."
Step 3: Selecting the Card You Wish to View
Once you're in the "Accounts & Cards" section, you'll see a list of all your Truist accounts. This is where you choose which card's details you want to see.
- Identify Your Card: Scroll through the list until you find the specific credit card or debit card you're looking for. It will usually show the last four digits of the card number and the card type (e.g., "Truist Enjoy Cash Card," "Truist Debit Card").
- Tap on the Card: Simply tap on the card you want to view. This action will open up a detailed view of that particular card.
Step 4: Unveiling Your Card Details
Now for the main event! Once you've selected your card, you'll land on a screen dedicated to that card. Here's where you'll find the information you need.
Sub-heading: Viewing Basic Card Information
You'll immediately see basic details like:
- The last four digits of your card number.
- Your available credit (for credit cards) or available balance (for debit cards).
- Recent transactions.
Sub-heading: Revealing Full Card Details (Number, Expiration, CVV)
To see the full card number, expiration date, and CVV (Card Verification Value), you'll typically need to take an additional, secure step. This is a crucial security measure to protect your information.
-
Look for an option like "View Card Details," "Show Card Number," or a small eye icon. This is often located near the displayed last four digits of your card.
-
Tap this option.
-
Security Prompt: The app will likely prompt you for another layer of security. This could be:
- Entering your password again.
- Using your biometrics (Face ID/Touch ID).
- Entering a one-time passcode sent to your registered device.
This extra verification ensures that only you, the authorized user, can access this sensitive information.
-
Once verified, your complete 16-digit card number, expiration date (MM/YY), and CVV/CVC code will be displayed on the screen.
Important Note: Always be in a secure and private location when viewing your full card details. Avoid doing this in public places where others might be able to see your screen.

Truist offers robust card controls that empower you to protect your card. You'll often find a "Card Controls" or "Security" section linked from your card's detailed view. Here you can:
