What are the hours and when should I call?

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Fifth Third Bank call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Fifth Third Bank phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling).

When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

When you call the customer service line for Fifth Third Bank, an automated message system, which is very obviously a virtual or AI voice and not an actual voice recording, instructs you to go online if you need immediate service. They say their AI customer service bot can help answer many of your questions.
Honestly, that's pretty wild. I've never in my life called a customer service line and been told to go online and interact with a bot. As a customer, that makes me feel like the bank can't even be bothered to talk to me; I mean, I'm obviously calling—using my phone and calling, not reaching out on their website—for a reason. You know? That's just very distasteful.
On a positive note, at least there's a Spanish language option.
If you stay on the line after the initial introduction, the system tells you to enter your social security number or card number, which is similarly wild. Even if I'm calling my bank, in what world would the average customer want to enter their social security or card number on an insecure phone line? In today's world of privacy breaches and surveillance? Absolutely not. So, I tried to reach a representative without giving out sensitive personal information.
The system says if you're calling to report your card lost or stolen, open a new account, or are calling on behalf of a customer, press the star key. After pressing star, press 1 to open a new account, press 2 to report your card as lost or stolen, press 3 if you're calling on behalf of a customer, press 4 for internet or mobile banking support, press 5 to verify funds, and press 6 for anything else.
After a short pause, the system says, "If you enter your social security or card information, you will experience shorter wait times." Seriously? That's beyond sketchy. I hung up the phone. I wouldn't bother calling their customer service number; I wasn't even able to reach a representative.
