How to find your nearest branch and its hours

Go to bankofamerica.com and look for the "Locations" or "Find a Branch" link at the top or bottom of the page. Enter your zip code or city name, and the tool will display nearby branches with their full hours of operation listed for each day of the week. Each location listing includes the phone number, street address, and a description of what services that specific branch offers.

If you prefer to call, you can reach Bank of America's customer service line at the number on the back of your debit card or on your account statement and ask for the hours of your nearest branch. You can also call the branch directly once you have the number from the locator tool. Having your zip code or the branch address ready will speed up the conversation.

Why hours differ between branches

Bank of America sets different hours for different locations based on customer traffic patterns and local demand in that area. A busy downtown branch in a financial district might open at 8 a.m. and stay open until 6 p.m., while a branch in a residential neighborhood may open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. Some branches located inside shopping centers may have extended hours to match mall operating times, while branches in office parks may have shorter days because most customers visit during business hours.

Holiday schedules also affect hours throughout the year. Most branches close on major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Some branches may have modified hours on the day before or after a holiday. Bank of America publishes its holiday schedule on the website, and you can also call your branch to confirm whether it will be open on a specific holiday.

What you can do outside branch hours

Bank of America operates ATMs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. You can withdraw cash, check your account balance, and transfer money between your own accounts at any time. Many ATMs also accept check deposits through a mobile deposit feature or physical check slot. Bank of America has thousands of ATMs located inside and outside branch buildings, as well as at partner locations nationwide.

You can also handle many banking tasks online through your Bank of America account or through their mobile app without visiting a branch at all. You can transfer money between accounts, pay bills, deposit checks by taking a photo with your phone, check your balance, and contact customer service by phone or chat during extended hours — often starting earlier in the morning and running later in the evening than physical branch hours.

Services that require a branch visit

Some tasks still require you to visit a physical branch location in person. Opening a new account, obtaining a cashier's check, discussing a loan or credit product, reporting a lost or stolen card in person, or handling complex account issues usually requires speaking with a banker face-to-face. If you need one of these services, check your branch's hours before you go to make sure someone will be available.

If your branch has limited hours and you cannot visit during those times, you can call ahead to ask whether another nearby branch can help you with your specific need, or ask about scheduling an appointment at a time that works for you.

Planning your visit

Weekday mornings right when a branch opens — typically around 9 a.m. — tend to be quieter than mid-morning or lunch hours. If you need to speak with a banker about a complex issue or have questions that require detailed discussion, arriving early gives you a better chance of getting when ready help without a long wait.

If you are unsure whether your branch can handle what you need, call first. A few minutes on the phone can save you a trip if your branch does not offer that particular service, if you need to bring specific documents, or if you need to schedule an appointment in advance.
