All Fifth Third text Alerts and Text Banking messages are sent from the "shortcode" of 535353. Do not respond to any text messages that are not from 535353. It is recommended that you add this number to your contacts as well.

Information from your mobile banking session is not retained as long as you log out after each Fifth Third Mobile Banking session (the log out function is found at the top of each page). We also recommend that you close out of your mobile web browser after each session. Additionally, Fifth Third Mobile Banking masks account numbers that are displayed on your mobile device. Text message alerts you may receive from Fifth Third on your mobile device, such as balance threshold and payment due alerts, will remain on your phone until you delete them. We also recommend that you do not store your password on your mobile device.

If you simply upgrade or change your mobile device (and keep the same mobile device number) nothing needs to be done.

If you change your phone number or you change carriers but keep the same number, you have to re-register your phone number to receive Text Alerts and to do Text Banking. To register your device, login to Internet Banking, then click on the "Service Center" tab at the top right corner. Under the "Alerts" section, click on the "Getting Started" link.

If you lose your mobile device, you will need to contact the mobile device company and Fifth Third. Your mobile device number and your mobile access will be suspended until you have your mobile device number reinstated. Then you will have to re-verify your mobile device number again by visiting the Service Center at 53.com.

If you have not received your verification code, please make sure your mobile device's phone number is entered correctly in the Service Center. If it is, please follow the steps below:

• Verify your mobile phone is turned on, has an adequate signal and is able to receive text messages.
• Check the list of Supported Phone Carriers for your mobile device in the "Getting Started" section of this FAQ.
• If you didn't receive a verification code via text message on your mobile device while registering your mobile device, use the Try Again link under the PIN code input box to re-send the text verification code.
• Confirm that you have text messaging service with your mobile carrier.
• Contact your mobile carrier and make sure your mobile device is not blocked from sending and receiving SMS messages to and from shortcodes. (i.e., Fifth Third's shortcode is [535353], which is the number you will be sending and receiving texts to and from.)
• If you still have not received a verification code, you will need to re-register your mobile device. Select the Register Your Phone link in the Service Center, select Remove for your mobile device, and go through the verification process again.
• If you still do not receive the verification code, please call Fifth Third's Call Center at 1-800-972-3030 for assistance.

Depending upon the difficulty you are experiencing, you may want to try one of the following troubleshooting tips:

• Be certain you are logging in to m.53.com. Have you logged into Fifth Third Internet Banking at www.53.com before? This is required prior to logging on to Fifth Third Mobile Banking.
• Are you able to access other websites with your mobile device? If you are not successful, then it is likely that the signal available on your device may not be strong enough.
