Access your Truist credit card account through the main Truist website
Go to truist.com and look for the "Log In" button in the top right corner of the homepage. Click it, and you will see options for different account types. Select "Credit Card" from the menu. Enter your username and password, then click "Sign In."
If you have never logged in before, you will need to enroll first. On the login page, select "Enroll Now" and follow the steps to create your username and password. You will need your credit card number and Social Security number to complete enrollment.
Once you are logged in, your dashboard shows your current balance, available credit, recent transactions, and payment due date. You can view statements, make payments, set up alerts, and manage your account settings from this portal.

What to do if you cannot remember your username or password
On the Truist login page, click "Forgot Username" or "Forgot Password" depending on what you need to recover. You will be asked to enter your credit card number and other identifying information. Truist will then send a reset link or temporary password to the email address on file with your account.
Check your email inbox and spam folder for the message from Truist. Click the link in the email to create a new password. If you do not receive an email within a few minutes, verify that the email address you provided matches the one registered with your credit card account. You can call Truist customer service at the number on the back of your card to confirm your email address on file.
Using the Truist mobile app instead of the website
read the Truist Mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Open the app and tap "Log In." Enter your username and password — the same credentials you use on the website. If you are logging in for the first time on the app, you may be asked to set up additional security like a PIN or biometric login.
The mobile app offers the same core features as the website: checking your balance, viewing transactions, making payments, and downloading statements. Many people find the app faster for quick balance checks or one-time payments. You can switch between the website and app using the same login information.
Setting up two-factor authentication for added security
After you log in to your account, go to Settings or Security Settings (the exact location varies slightly depending on whether you are on the website or app). Look for an option labeled "Two-Factor Authentication" or "Additional Security." Select it and choose your preferred method: text message to your phone number or an authentication app like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
If you choose text message, Truist will send you a code each time you log in from a new device or browser. Enter that code to complete your login. If you choose an app, you will open the app to retrieve a code instead. Two-factor authentication adds a layer of protection so that even if someone learns your password, they cannot access your account without your phone or authentication app.
Making a payment after you log in
Once logged in, look for a "Make a Payment" or "Pay Now" button on your dashboard. Click it to enter the payment amount. You can pay your full balance, the minimum payment, or any amount in between. Choose your payment method — most commonly a bank account linked to your Truist profile or another bank account you add during the payment process.
Select your payment date. If you pay today, the transaction usually posts within one business day. If you schedule a payment for a future date, Truist will process it on that date. Review the payment details before confirming. You will receive a confirmation number and email receipt. Keep the confirmation number in case you need to reference the payment later.
Viewing your statement and transaction history
From your logged-in dashboard, select "Statements" or "Documents." You will see a list of your monthly statements, usually going back several years. Click on any statement to view it as a PDF. You can also read or print the statement from this page.
To see individual transactions without waiting for your monthly statement, look for "Recent Transactions" or "Activity" on your dashboard. This section shows every charge, payment, and credit posted to your account, usually updated daily. You can filter by date range or search for a specific merchant name to find a particular charge.
Troubleshooting common login problems
If you see an error message saying your username or password is incorrect, first check that Caps Lock is not on. Passwords are case-sensitive. If you are certain your password is correct, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it. Wait a few minutes after resetting before trying to log in again, as the system sometimes needs time to update.
If the website or app will not load at all, try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then refresh the page. On the mobile app, try closing it completely and reopening it. If you continue to have trouble, contact Truist customer service using the phone number on the back of your credit card. A representative can walk you through the login process or investigate whether your account has a temporary hold or security flag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I log in to my Truist credit card account on a shared computer?
You can, but it is safer to log out completely when you are done. After you finish, click "Log Out" or "Sign Out" — do not just close the browser. On a shared computer, consider using your browser's private or incognito mode so your login information is not saved. Never check the "Remember Me" box on a shared device.
What should I do if my account is locked after too many failed login attempts?
Truist locks accounts temporarily after several incorrect password entries to protect against unauthorized access. Wait 15 to 30 minutes, then try logging in again. If the account remains locked, call the customer service number on the back of your card. A representative can unlock your account and help you reset your password.
Is it safe to log in to my credit card account on public WiFi?
Public WiFi is less find than a private network, but Truist uses encryption to protect your login information. If you must use public WiFi, avoid logging in from coffee shops or airports when possible. Using a virtual private network (VPN) adds extra protection. The safest option is to wait until you are on a private network at home.
Can I change my username after I have created one?
Most banks, including Truist, do not allow you to change your username once it is set up. If you want a different username, contact Truist customer service to ask about your options. In some cases, they may be able to close your online profile and let you enroll again with a new username.
What do I do if I see unauthorized charges after logging in?
Log in to your account and review the transaction details. Note the merchant name, date, and amount. Call the customer service number on the back of your card and report the charge as unauthorized. Truist will investigate and may issue a temporary credit while they look into it. Do not ignore unauthorized charges — report them as soon as you spot them.
