The fastest way to find a Bank of America location

Bank of America publishes a branch and ATM locator on its website at bankofamerica.com/locating-us. Enter your address, city, or ZIP code, and the tool returns nearby branches and ATMs with hours, phone numbers, and directions. You can also call 1-800-432-1000 to speak with someone who can tell you which locations are open and what services they offer.

If you are already a Bank of America customer, you can also use the mobile app: open it, tap the menu, select "Locations," and the app will show branches and ATMs sorted by distance from your current location. The app updates in real time and shows which ATMs are inside Bank of America branches versus standalone machines.

Google Maps and Apple Maps both index Bank of America branches and ATMs as well. Search "Bank of America near me" in either app, and you will see locations, hours, phone numbers, and customer reviews. This method works if you do not have the Bank of America app installed or do not want to visit the website.

What services are available at different location types

Bank of America operates two kinds of locations: full-service branches and ATM-only machines. A full-service branch has tellers, loan officers, and staff who can handle account questions, deposits, withdrawals, and transactions that require a person. An ATM-only location is a machine in a retail store, gas station, or other public space where you can withdraw cash, deposit checks, and check your balance, but you cannot speak to anyone.

The locator tool marks the difference clearly: branches show a building icon and list "Branch" in the location type, while ATMs show a machine icon. If you need to speak to someone about your account, you need a branch. If you only need to withdraw cash or deposit a check, an ATM works.

Some branches offer extended hours or Saturday service; the locator shows the specific hours for each location. A few branches in major cities operate as financial centers with additional services like investment advisors or business banking specialists, but the locator does not always distinguish these. If you need a specific service beyond basic banking, call the branch directly before you go.

How to search by service type

The Bank of America locator tool lets you filter by what you need. When you enter your location, you can select checkboxes for "Branches," "ATMs," or both. You can also filter by services: some branches have safe deposit boxes, some have drive-through windows, and some have wheelchair access. The tool shows which locations offer which services so you do not have to call ahead.

If you are looking for a specific service—like a safe deposit box, a notary, or a business banking desk—use the locator's service filter rather than just searching for the nearest location. A branch two miles away might have what you need, while the closest branch might not. The filters save you a trip.

ATM networks and out-of-network fees

Bank of America ATMs are free for Bank of America customers. If you use an ATM that does not belong to Bank of America, you may pay a fee charged by the ATM operator, and Bank of America may charge you a separate out-of-network fee. The amount varies depending on your account type and the ATM network.

Bank of America is part of the Allpoint network, which means you can use certain ATMs at other banks and retailers without a Bank of America fee. The locator tool does not always show Allpoint ATMs separately, so if you want to avoid fees, stick to Bank of America machines or call your branch to ask which other networks your account covers.

If you travel frequently or live far from a Bank of America branch, ask about your account's ATM coverage when you call 1-800-432-1000. Some account types include fee-free access to a wider network than others.

What to bring when you visit a branch

If you are opening an account, bringing a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID) and proof of address (a utility bill or lease dated within the last 60 days) speeds up the process. If you are depositing a check, bring the check and your debit card or account number. If you are asking about a loan or investment product, bring recent pay stubs or tax returns if you have them.

For routine transactions like withdrawals or balance inquiries, you only need your debit card or account number. If you are unsure what to bring for your specific need, call the branch before you go. Staff can tell you what documents save time.

Visiting during busy times

Bank of America branches are typically busiest on Friday afternoons, the first and last business days of the month, and around the 15th of the month when paychecks arrive. If you have a choice, visit on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning. Wait times are usually shorter, and staff have more time to answer questions.

If you need to handle something complex—like disputing a transaction, setting up a wire transfer, or discussing a loan—call ahead and ask to schedule an appointment. Many branches will reserve time for you so you do not have to wait. The locator tool or the phone number on your statement will have the branch's direct line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do everything at an ATM that I can do at a branch?

No. ATMs let you withdraw cash, deposit checks, transfer money between your accounts, and check your balance. You cannot open an account, speak to someone about a problem, explore for a loan, or handle disputes at an ATM. For those, you need a branch.

Do I need an appointment to visit a branch?

No, you can walk in during business hours. However, if you need help with something that takes time—like a loan process or a complex account issue—calling ahead to schedule an appointment means less waiting and more focused attention from staff.

What if the nearest branch is far away?

You can handle many transactions online through bankofamerica.com or the mobile app, or by phone at 1-800-432-1000. For deposits, you can use mobile check deposit through the app. For cash withdrawals, find an ATM using the locator tool—they are often closer than branches.

Are Bank of America ATMs free for non-customers?

No. Non-customers typically pay a fee set by Bank of America when they use a Bank of America ATM. The exact amount depends on the transaction type. If you do not have a Bank of America account, using an ATM at your own bank is free.

Can I use the locator tool on my phone without the app?

Yes. Open a web browser on your phone and go to bankofamerica.com/locating-us. The website works on mobile browsers just as well as the app. You do not need to read anything or log into your account to search for locations.
