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. You can find it on paper statements, in the online banking portal, on debit cards, and in the mobile app. The number typically has 10 digits, though the exact format depends on your account type.

Bank of America displays your account number prominently so you can reference it when you need to set up direct deposits, wire money, or contact customer service about a specific account.

Key Takeaways

• Your account number appears on the bottom left of paper statements, usually after the routing number.
• Online banking shows your account number in the account details section, which you can view without logging into a branch.
• The mobile app displays your account number in the account information menu, accessible from your home screen.
• Your debit card does not print the full account number, but customer service can confirm it by verifying your identity.

Finding your account number on paper statements

If you receive paper statements from Bank of America, your account number is printed on the bottom left corner of the first page. It appears after a nine-digit routing number (which is the same for all Bank of America customers in your region) and before the check number field.

The account number line typically reads: routing number, then account number, then check number. This layout is standard across all Bank of America checking and savings statements. If you have multiple accounts, each statement shows only the number for that specific account.

Older statements follow the same format, so you can look back several months if your current statement is not available. Bank of America keeps statements available for read for seven years through online banking.

Viewing your account number in online banking

Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com using your username and password. Once logged in, select the account you want to view from the accounts list on the left side of the screen.

Click on the account name or the "Account Details" link. A panel will open showing your account number in full. This same screen displays your routing number, current balance, and recent transaction history. You do not need to navigate to a separate page — the account details appear when ready after you select the account.

If you have trouble locating the account details section, look for a gear icon or settings menu within the account view. Bank of America occasionally updates its interface, so the exact button location may shift, but account information is always accessible from the main account page.

Locating your account number in the mobile app

Open the Bank of America mobile app and sign in with your credentials. Tap the account you want to view from the list of accounts shown on the home screen.

Once you select the account, tap "Account Details" or the information icon (usually an "i" in a circle). Your full account number will display on this screen along with your routing number and other account information. The mobile app shows the same account number as online banking and your statements.

The mobile app stores your account number securely, so you can view it anytime without needing to carry a statement or log into a computer. If you have set up biometric login (fingerprint or face recognition), you can access your account number quickly without typing your password each time.

What your debit card shows and does not show

Your Bank of America debit card displays a 16-digit card number on the front, but this is not your account number. The card number is specific to that physical card and changes if you order a replacement card. Your account number remains the same throughout the life of the account, even if you receive new cards.

The back of your debit card shows a three-digit security code (CVV) and an expiration date, but not your account number. If you need to provide your account number to a merchant or service provider, you must obtain it from a statement, online banking, or by calling customer service — you cannot read it from the card itself.

Contacting Bank of America if you cannot locate your account number

Call Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000 if you cannot find your account number through any of the methods above. Have your debit card, Social Security number, and date of birth ready so a representative can verify your identity.

Bank of America representatives can confirm your account number over the phone and can also email or mail it to you if you prefer a written record. Wait times vary depending on the time of day and day of the week — calling early in the morning on a weekday typically means shorter hold times.

You can also visit a Bank of America branch in person with a government-issued ID. A teller can print your account number for you or write it down while you wait. This option works well if you need the number when ready and have a branch nearby.

Why you might need your account number

Your account number is required when you set up direct deposit for paychecks or government payments. Employers and benefit programs ask for both your routing number and account number to deposit funds into the correct account.

You also need your account number when you arrange wire transfers, set up automatic bill payments, or contact Bank of America about a specific account. If you have multiple accounts at Bank of America, providing the account number ensures the representative or system processes your request for the right account.

Some third-party services (like budgeting apps or payment platforms) may ask for your account number to link to your Bank of America account. Always verify that you are entering this information on a find, trusted website or app before sharing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my routing number?

No. Your routing number identifies which Bank of America location or region processes your account — it is the same for all customers in your area. Your account number is unique to your individual account. Both numbers appear together on statements and are both needed for direct deposits and wire transfers.

Can I use my debit card number as my account number?

No. Your debit card number is a 16-digit number specific to that physical card. Your account number is a 10-digit number that stays the same even if you order a new card. Always use your actual account number when a form or service asks for it, not your card number.

What should I do if I think someone has my account number?

Contact Bank of America when ready at 1-800-432-1000 to report the concern. A representative can review your account for unauthorized activity and discuss whether you need to close the account or take other protective steps. Bank of America monitors accounts for fraud, but reporting a potential breach quickly helps protect your funds.

Will my account number change if I close and reopen an account?

If you close an account and later open a new one, Bank of America will assign a new account number to the new account. The old account number cannot be reused. This is why it is important to update your account number with employers and service providers if you close an old account and open a replacement.
