Bank of America closes at 1 p.m. on Saturday at most branches

Most Bank of America branches close at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Some branches in high-traffic areas or malls stay open until 2 p.m. or 3 p.m., and a small number of locations have extended Saturday hours until 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. The only way to know your specific branch's closing time is to check the hours for that location directly.

Saturday hours are shorter than weekday hours because branch staffing is reduced and customer traffic is lower. If you need to visit on Saturday, arriving by noon gives you a comfortable window before closing. If your branch closes at 1 p.m. and you arrive at 12:45 p.m., you may not have time to complete a transaction that requires a teller.

Key Takeaways

  • Most Bank of America branches close at 1 p.m. on Saturday, though some locations stay open until 2 p.m., 3 p.m., or later.
  • The closing time for your specific branch depends on location and traffic volume, so you must check your branch's individual hours.
  • You can find your branch's Saturday hours on the Bank of America website by entering your zip code or address into the branch locator.
  • If you cannot visit during Saturday hours, you can deposit checks, transfer money, and pay bills through the Bank of America app or website at any time.

How to find your branch's exact Saturday closing time

Go to bankofamerica.com and use the branch locator tool. Enter your zip code or street address, and the tool will show you a list of nearby branches with their hours for each day of the week. Click on the branch you plan to visit, and the hours will display in a box on the right side of the screen.

The hours shown are the current hours for that location. Bank of America sometimes adjusts branch hours seasonally or due to staffing changes, so the hours you see online are more reliable than hours printed in old materials or from memory. If you see a branch listed as closed on Saturday, that location does not open on weekends at all.

What you can and cannot do after the branch closes

After your branch closes on Saturday, you can still deposit checks, transfer money between accounts, pay bills, and check your balance through the Bank of America mobile app or website. You can also use any Bank of America ATM to withdraw cash, deposit checks (at ATMs equipped with check deposit), or transfer money. These services work 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What you cannot do after closing is speak to a teller or a banker in person. If you need to open a new account, discuss a loan, resolve a dispute, or handle a transaction that requires a signature or ID verification, you must visit during branch hours or call customer service. Bank of America's phone line is open on Saturday, though wait times are often longer than on weekdays.

Saturday banking if your branch has no weekend hours

If your nearest Bank of America branch does not open on Saturday, you can still bank through the app, website, or phone. You can also visit a different Bank of America branch that does open on Saturday if you need in-person service. Use the branch locator to find branches near you that have Saturday hours.

If you need cash and cannot wait until Monday, any Bank of America ATM will dispense cash 24 hours a day. If you need to deposit a check and your branch has no weekend hours, you can use a Bank of America ATM with mobile check deposit, or wait until Monday to visit the branch.

Planning ahead for Saturday banking

If you know you need to visit a branch on Saturday, check the hours the night before. Branch hours can change due to holidays, staffing, or local events. A branch that normally closes at 1 p.m. might close at noon on a holiday weekend, or might have different hours during a local festival or event.

Arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes before closing time if you need to speak to a teller. Branches often stop admitting new customers 15 to 30 minutes before the posted closing time so staff can finish with existing customers and close out the register. If you arrive at 12:50 p.m. for a 1 p.m. closing, you may be turned away.

Alternatives to visiting on Saturday

Bank of America offers online and mobile banking that works on Saturday, Sunday, and every day of the week. You can transfer money, pay bills, deposit checks by photograph, and manage your account without visiting a branch. The mobile app is available on iPhone and Android, and the website works on any computer or tablet.

If you need to speak to someone, Bank of America's customer service phone line is open on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time. Wait times are typically longer on Saturday than on weekdays, so call early in the morning if you can. You can also schedule an appointment with a banker at your branch through the app or website, and choose a time that works for you during the week.
