How Do I Reset My Username and Password with Ally Bank?

What do you do should this happen to you? Read on for how to handle this scenario like a professional.

Forgotten or Blocked Username

If you forget your username or had too many unsuccessful login attempts using the incorrect one, just call Ally Bank Customer Service and they will reset it for you.

Please keep in mind that usernames can be case sensitive like passwords are. Please note that if you use the reset username link for your Ally Bank account, the website will prompt you to call customer service.

Username Tips

The strongest usernames are a combination of uppercase, characters lowercase, characters, numbers, and punctuation marks, and other special characters.
A username that is easy for you to remember but hard for someone else to guess.
Never include information that someone can look up or hack into, like birthdays, social security numbers, children's or pets' names.
Never give out your username or passwords. Legit emails would never ask for such information and emails that do are phishing scams.

Your Ally Banking Password

If you forget your password, please don't call customer service, they're not able to retrieve it for you.

To rest your password, please go to Ally.com and click on the green sign in button in the upper right-hand corner.
Go to the Forgot Username or Password, located beneath the sign in fields and select Password.
Next, you will be a small window asking you which password you're wanting to reset, select Banking or Invest.
On the next screen, you'll be asked to provide your username and full social security number, and shown your password recovery options. Receive your password hint by text or email, or Ally will send you a security code to create a new password.
