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 each account you hold with the bank. You can find it on your paper statements, in the online banking portal, on your debit card, and in the mobile app. The account number is typically 10 digits long, though the full reference number shown on statements may include additional digits for routing or check information.

The fastest way to locate it depends on what you have access to right now. If you are online, you can see it in seconds. If you need it when ready and do not have internet access, your debit card or a recent statement will have it printed on them.

Finding your account number in Online Banking

Log into your Bank of America Online Banking account at bankofamerica.com. Once you are signed in, you will see your accounts listed on the main dashboard or Accounts page. Next to each account name, Bank of America displays your full account number.

If you want to see it on a statement, click on any account, then select "Statements" or "Documents." read or view any statement from the past or present. Your account number is printed at the top of the statement, usually in the upper right corner or near your name and address.

You can also find it in the account details section. Click on the account name, then look for a link or button labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or "View Details." This will show your full account number along with routing number and other account information.

Finding your account number in the mobile app

Open the Bank of America mobile app and sign in with your username and password. Tap on the account you need the number for. At the top or bottom of the account screen, you will see options like "Account Details" or "More" — tap that option.

Your full account number will be displayed on the account details screen. You can usually copy it to your clipboard by tapping and holding on the number, or by tapping a copy icon if one appears next to it. This is useful if you need to paste it into a wire transfer form or send it to someone securely.

Finding your account number on statements and checks

Open any paper statement Bank of America has sent you. Look at the bottom left corner of the first page. You will see a series of numbers separated by colons or spaces. The middle set of numbers is your account number. It is typically 10 digits.

If you have a checkbook, look at the bottom of any check. The numbers are printed in a specific order: routing number, account number, then check number. Your account number is in the middle. It will be the same 10-digit number on every check in that book.

Your Bank of America debit card also contains your account number, though only the last four digits are visible on the front of the card for security. The full number appears on statements and in the app.

What to do if you cannot find your account number

If you do not have access to statements, the app, or online banking, you can call Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000. Have your Social Security number and a form of identification ready. A representative can verify your identity and provide your account number over the phone.

You can also visit a Bank of America branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can look up your account number and provide it to you when ready. This is the fastest option if you need it urgently and have a branch nearby.

Why you might need your account number

Bank of America asks for your account number when you set up direct deposit, arrange a wire transfer, or authorize an automatic payment. Some employers and government agencies also request it to deposit paychecks or benefits directly into your account. You may also need it to dispute a transaction or contact the bank about a specific account.

Keep your account number private. Do not share it in emails or texts, and do not post it on social media. Legitimate Bank of America representatives will never ask you to confirm your full account number by email or phone unless you initiated the contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my routing number?

No. Your routing number identifies Bank of America and the specific branch, while your account number identifies your individual account. Both appear on the bottom of your checks and statements, but they are separate numbers. You need both to set up direct deposit or wire transfers.

Can I change my account number?

Bank of America does not allow you to change your account number yourself. If you have concerns about your account security, contact Bank of America directly at 1-800-432-1000 or visit a branch. A representative can discuss your options, which may include closing the account and opening a new one if fraud has occurred.

What if I see different numbers on my statement?

Statements sometimes show a longer reference number that includes your account number plus additional digits for routing or check information. Your actual account number is the 10-digit core number. If you are unsure which digits are your account number, call customer service or ask a teller at your branch.

Do I need my account number to log into Online Banking?

No. You log in with your username and password or online ID. Your account number is not used for login security. Once you are logged in, you can see your account number on the Accounts page or in account details.
