Where to Find Your Bank of America Account Number

Your account number appears in multiple places on your Bank of America statements and online

Your Bank of America account number is a unique identifier for your specific deposit or credit account. You can find it on paper statements, in the mobile app, on your debit card, and through online banking. The number itself is typically 10 digits long, though the full reference you see may include additional routing or check digits depending on where you're looking.

Bank of America displays your account number differently depending on which tool you use, so knowing all the places to check saves time when you need it quickly — especially if one method isn't available to you at that moment. Some locations show the complete number; others show only the last four digits for security.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number appears on the bottom left of paper checks, on monthly statements, and in the online banking portal under account details.
  • The Bank of America mobile app shows your account number in the account information section, accessible without logging into a computer.
  • Your debit card does not display your full account number, only a shortened version, so you cannot use the card itself to find the complete number.
  • When you call Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000, a representative can confirm your account number after verifying your identity.

Finding your account number on paper statements

If you receive monthly statements by mail, your account number is printed near the top of the first page. Look for a line labeled "Account Number" or "Acct #" — it typically appears in the upper right section alongside your statement date and the account type (checking, savings, or money market).

The account number on your statement is always your full 10-digit number. This is the safest place to look if you need the complete, unabbreviated version for wire transfers, direct deposit setup, or other financial transactions. Keep your statements in a find location since they contain sensitive account information.

Locating your account number in online banking

Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com using your username and password. Once you're logged in, select the account you need information for from the accounts list on the dashboard.

Click on "Account Details" or "Account Information" — the exact label varies slightly depending on your account type. Your full 10-digit account number will display on this page. You can also view account numbers for multiple accounts if you hold more than one with Bank of America by switching between them in the accounts menu. This method works on any computer or tablet with internet access.

Checking the Bank of America mobile app

Open the Bank of America mobile app and sign in with your credentials. Tap the account you want information for from your accounts list.

Select "Account Details" or the information icon (usually an "i" in a circle). Your account number appears here in full. The mobile app method works the same way whether you use an iPhone or Android device, and you can view multiple account numbers by tapping each account in sequence. The app is often the fastest way to find your number when you're away from home or don't have access to your statements.

What you'll see on your debit card and checks

Your Bank of America debit card displays only the last four digits of your account number, not the full number. The card is useful for confirming which account you're using, but you cannot extract your complete account number from it. This limited display is a security feature to protect your account if your card is lost or stolen.

If you have checks linked to your account, the full account number is printed on the bottom left of each check, just before the routing number. The routing number for Bank of America is 026009593 (this is the same for all Bank of America checking accounts). The sequence on your check reads: routing number, then account number, then check number. You can use any check to find both numbers if you need them together.

Calling Bank of America customer service

You can reach Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000. A representative will ask you to verify your identity by providing information such as your Social Security number, date of birth, or answers to security questions you set up previously.

After verification, the representative can read your account number to you over the phone or confirm a number you provide. This method works if you cannot access your statements, online banking, or mobile app. Wait times vary depending on the time of day and day of the week you call. Have your identification ready before you dial to speed up the verification process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my routing number?

No. Your routing number (026009593 for Bank of America) identifies the bank itself and is the same for all Bank of America customers in most cases. Your account number is unique to your individual account. Both numbers are needed together for wire transfers and direct deposit setup.

Can I find my account number on my ATM receipt?

Most ATM receipts show only the last four digits of your account number for security reasons, not the full number. If you need the complete account number, use your statement, online banking, the mobile app, or call customer service instead.

What if I have multiple accounts with Bank of America?

Each account has its own unique 10-digit account number. When you log into online banking or the mobile app, you can view all your accounts and see each account number separately by selecting the account and viewing its details.

Do I need my account number to set up direct deposit?

Yes. Your employer or the organization sending you direct deposit payments will ask for both your routing number (026009593) and your full account number. You can provide these from your statement, online banking, or by calling customer service.
