How to Activate a Fifth Third Card in the App

For Fifth Third credit cards, open the linked account in the app, scroll down, and tap Manage Card. Debit cards have a different documented level of in-app detail.

For a Fifth Third credit card, sign in to the Fifth Third mobile app, open the account linked to the card, scroll down, and tap Manage Card. Follow the activation prompts. Fifth Third also supports activation online or by phone at 800-621-2554. Debit cards can be activated too, but Fifth Third’s published materials do not establish the same in-app menu path for them.

Activate a Fifth Third credit card in the app

  1. Open the official Fifth Third mobile app and sign in. If you have not enrolled in mobile banking, register first; Fifth Third lists a Fifth Third debit, ATM, or credit card number, or your Social Security number, as possible initial user IDs in its Mobile Banking FAQs.

If you have a debit card

Fifth Third confirms that debit cards can be activated through its app, online, or by phone. However, its official information does not give a debit-card app sequence matching the credit-card path above. Use the app’s own prompts; if you cannot find an activation option, activate online or call 1-800-621-2554, the number listed in Fifth Third’s Debit Card FAQs.

Other ways to activate the card

If Manage Card is missing or activation fails

  • Confirm that you opened the account associated with the credit card, rather than another account.

Activation is different from adding a card to a digital wallet

Activating the card enables its use for purchases. Adding it to Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or another digital wallet is a separate, optional setup; see Fifth Third’s Digital Wallet information for that process.
