What to have ready before you call
Truist will ask you to verify your identity before discussing your account. Have your account number handy — it appears on your debit card, checks, or statements. If you do not have that, the phone number registered to your account works as an alternative. Some representatives may also ask for the last four digits of your Social Security number or your date of birth.
If your call is about a specific transaction, have the date and amount ready. For fraud or dispute questions, have any relevant documentation nearby — receipts, emails, or screenshots of unauthorized charges. This speeds up the call and reduces the chance you will need to call back with additional information.
If you are calling about a loan, mortgage, or credit card account, have your account statement or the relevant document in front of you. This helps the representative locate your account faster and answer questions about your balance or payment history without delay.
Alternative ways to contact Truist
If you prefer not to call, Truist offers other contact methods. You can log into your online account and use the secure message center to send questions to customer service. Responses typically arrive within one business day, though simple questions may be answered faster.
Truist also has a mobile app with a built-in messaging feature. You can take a photo of a check to deposit it, report a lost card, or message support directly from the app. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from your device's app store.
For in-person help, visit any Truist branch during business hours. Branch hours vary by location, so check the Truist website or call ahead to confirm when your nearest branch is open. Some branches offer extended hours on certain days, and a few locations may have Saturday hours.
What happens after you call
Most routine issues — account balance questions, transaction disputes, password resets — are handled during the call. The representative will either resolve the issue immediately or explain what happens next and provide you with a reference number for your records.
For complex issues like fraud investigations or loan modifications, Truist may need to escalate your case to a specialist team. You will receive a case number and a timeline for follow-up. The representative will tell you whether to expect a call or an email, and they should provide you with a direct contact or case manager name if one is assigned.
If your issue requires documentation, the representative may ask you to mail or fax documents to Truist. They will provide you with the correct address or fax number and explain what documents are needed and the deadline for submission.
If you are calling about fraud or a lost card
Report a lost or stolen debit or credit card immediately by calling the number on the back of your card or the main line 1-800-872-2657. Truist can freeze your card within seconds to prevent unauthorized use. Once frozen, the card cannot be used for purchases, ATM withdrawals, or online transactions.
If you suspect fraudulent transactions on your account, report them during the same call. Truist will open a dispute and typically refund the amount while they investigate. The investigation usually takes 10 business days, though complex cases may take longer. You will receive written confirmation of the dispute and the expected resolution date.
For lost cards, Truist can issue a replacement card during the call. The new card typically arrives within 5 to 7 business days. If you need immediate access to funds, ask the representative about temporary solutions like a rush card delivery or a temporary card number for online purchases.
