First Horizon customers should start at firsthorizon.com, select Log in, and match the service to the task they need to complete. This guide is independent and is not affiliated with First Horizon Bank.
Do not assume every First Horizon sign-in screen uses the same account. Personal Digital Banking, mortgage applications, corporate services, customer-service forms, and investment platforms can lead to different authentication systems.
What First Horizon is
First Horizon Bank is a U.S. financial institution offering personal, small-business, corporate, mortgage, trust, investment, and related financial services. Its personal login page identifies banking products and services as provided by First Horizon Bank, Member FDIC and Equal Housing Lender.
The broad keyword “First Horizon” often hides a narrower job: open Digital Banking, recover an existing User ID, establish online access, reach a mortgage application, or find a secure support channel.
Pick the job first.
Two similar tabs can lead to different accounts
A customer may have First Horizon Digital Banking open in one tab and the mortgage application portal open in another. Both display the bank’s name, but their fields are different.
The personal Digital Banking page presents a service selector with User ID, Password, Login, Enroll for access, and Forgot ID or password. The dedicated Digital Banking screen uses Enter User ID, Enter Password, Show, and Forgot User ID/Password.
The mortgage application portal instead shows Email, Password, Trouble signing in?, and Sign in. It is used to view an application’s status or complete mortgage-related next steps.
| Screen detail | Likely destination |
|---|---|
| User ID and Enroll for access | Personal or business Digital Banking |
| Email and Trouble signing in? | Mortgage application portal |
| Corporate service selector | Corporate banking or trust service |
| Username and Password before a form | Digital Banking-protected customer request |
| Investment platform name | Separate investment or wealth service |
Do this first: read the selected service and field labels. Skip password recovery when the page itself belongs to a different account.
A mortgage password will not necessarily work in personal Digital Banking. A personal User ID should not be assumed to open a corporate or investment platform.
Enroll for access or recover an existing profile
First Horizon separates customers who do not yet have a Digital Banking User ID from customers who have forgotten an existing one.
The recovery screen states that customers without a User ID need to enroll in online banking. Existing users are asked to select the applicable account type, including Personal or Business/Small Business, before continuing.
That produces a practical decision:
- Never created Digital Banking access: use Enroll for access.
- Previously signed in but forgot the User ID: use Forgot ID or password.
- Know the User ID but not the password: use the same recovery route.
- Trying to complete a mortgage application: use Trouble signing in? on the mortgage page.
- Trying to submit a protected customer-service request: sign in with Digital Banking credentials or use the bank’s alternate support channel.
Enrollment is not the same as opening a deposit account. It creates online access for an eligible existing banking relationship.
Use recovery for an existing profile. Skip a second enrollment unless First Horizon directs you to create new access.
Why a customer-service form may ask you to sign in
Some First Horizon service requests are protected by a separate Before you continue screen.
That screen asks for a Digital Banking Username and Password and displays validation text such as Please enter a value for Username and Please enter a value for Password when the required fields are empty. Customers who do not have Digital Banking credentials are directed to visit a branch or call 800-382-5465.
This can be confusing because the customer may already have started filling out a request before being sent to authentication.
It is not necessarily a new account. The form is using the customer’s existing Digital Banking access to protect an account-related request.
Priority one: confirm that the request requires Digital Banking. Skip trying mortgage, investment, or corporate credentials in that protected form.
First Horizon’s customer-service area includes questions and comments, transaction disputes, money-transfer requests, and other banking tasks. The exact path varies by the type of request.
Recover a forgotten User ID or password
Begin from First Horizon’s main site or the dedicated Digital Banking page, then select the published recovery link. The recovery process first distinguishes customers with an existing User ID from those who still need enrollment.
First Horizon also publishes bank-hosted recovery demonstrations for Small Business customers. These demonstrations can be safer than a third-party video that may show old labels or route users through an unrelated website.
Keep the recovery path narrow:
- Confirm personal or business access.
- Confirm that a Digital Banking profile already exists.
- Open Forgot User ID/Password from First Horizon.
- Complete the bank’s recovery process.
- Return to a fresh Digital Banking session.
Do not repeatedly test several possible User IDs. A password change cannot correct an identifier that belongs to another service.
Short pause. Check the page again.
Website and mobile access use the same Digital Banking profile
First Horizon’s mobile banking documentation says customers can download the bank’s app through links provided on its mobile page. The bank also says users log in with their current Digital Banking credentials.
The app is listed for personal and Small Business customers. Published capabilities include checking balances, depositing checks, paying bills, transferring funds, managing budgets, tracking spending, and setting alerts.
A useful diagnostic pattern follows:
- Website and app both reject access: check the Digital Banking profile or recovery route.
- Website works but app does not: check the current app and stored mobile session.
- App works but the website does not: restart from First Horizon’s main domain and compare browsers.
- Personal banking works but a corporate tool does not: confirm that the corporate service uses the same account.
- Login works but one feature is absent: check product eligibility rather than replacing the credentials.
Do not reinstall the app first. Verify that ordinary Digital Banking access works somewhere, then isolate the device-specific problem.
Features can vary by account, device, and service eligibility.
Alert settings have their own path
Customers who want to stop or update First Horizon text alerts should not search for an unsubscribe page on an unrelated messaging site.
First Horizon directs customers to sign in to Digital Banking and open Settings – Manage Alerts. From there, a user can remove, change, or add a mobile device connected to alert preferences. The bank also directs customers with account-specific questions to send a secure message after signing in.
First Horizon’s Digital Banking pages describe customized account alerts and online statements that can be accessed from a computer, phone, or tablet.
This creates another easy mix-up. Changing an alert preference is an authenticated settings task; reporting an alert received in error may require contacting the bank.
Do the settings check first. Skip replying directly to an unexpected alert.
An unexpected code is not a routine login error
First Horizon says it will not contact customers and ask them to verify their identity by sending codes or providing passwords through phone, email, or text. Customers who receive a suspicious call or message claiming to be from the bank are directed to contact Client Services through the bank’s published channel.
An unexpected authentication code, push notification, or banking alert changes the priority.
Stop the login attempt. Do not approve an action you did not initiate, and do not use contact information supplied only inside the suspicious message.
First Horizon’s fraud guidance advises customers to change their User ID and password when suspicious activity appears, including an unrequested email alert, push notification, or one-time passcode. The same guidance applies after reporting fraudulent activity that occurred online.
Suspected phishing emails or text messages can be forwarded to phishing@firsthorizon.com, according to the bank’s security page.
When an unauthorized transaction is visible, First Horizon instructs customers to call promptly at 800-382-5465 so a fraud claim can be started.
Choose support based on urgency
First Horizon’s general questions form says correspondence is answered within one to two business days. The page directs customers seeking faster service to call 800-382-5465.
That difference should guide the channel:
- General question: online questions-and-comments form.
- Account-specific issue while signed in: secure messaging.
- No Digital Banking credentials: branch or published customer-service number.
- Suspicious communication: established fraud or Client Services route.
- Unauthorized transaction: call promptly.
- Need a nearby office: use First Horizon’s location and contact page.
When reporting a login problem, name the page rather than merely saying the bank is not working. State whether it was Personal Digital Banking, Small Business, Corporate, mortgage, or a protected customer-service form.
Also note the last control that worked: Log in, Forgot User ID/Password, account-type selection, Trouble signing in?, or the Before you continue page.
That detail saves a round of questions.
FDIC wording does not cover every listed service
First Horizon’s personal banking login page displays the FDIC-insured designation for bank deposit services. It also includes access to banking and investment services from the broader login area.
Eligible deposits are subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation rules, including applicable limits and ownership categories. Investment, insurance, trust, or annuity products may carry different protections and disclosures.
Read the product label before proceeding.
Shared access from a bank-branded menu does not make every linked financial product an insured deposit.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start?
Use firsthorizon.com and select Log in.
What if I never received a User ID?
Choose enrollment rather than recovery.
Why does one page ask for a User ID and another for email?
They may be different First Horizon services. Personal Digital Banking uses a User ID, while the mortgage application portal uses an email address and its own password-recovery control.
Can I use Digital Banking credentials in the mobile app?
Yes. First Horizon directs mobile users to sign in with their current Digital Banking credentials.
How do I change text-alert preferences?
Sign in and open Settings – Manage Alerts.
Why did a customer-service request ask me to sign in?
Some requests are protected by Digital Banking authentication. First Horizon’s Before you continue screen asks for existing Digital Banking credentials and directs customers without them to a branch or the published support number.
What should I do with an unexpected verification code?
Do not approve or share it. First Horizon says it will not request identity-verification codes or passwords through an unsolicited phone call, email, or text. Contact the bank through an established channel.
How quickly does the general contact form receive a response?
First Horizon states that questions and comments are generally answered within one to two business days.
