Where to find your account number on bofa.com

Your Bank of America checking account number appears in several places on the website once you log in. The fastest route is the Accounts Overview page, which shows your account number next to your account name the moment you land there after signing in. If you do not see it when ready, look for a link labeled "Account Details" or "View Account Information" — clicking this expands a panel with your full account number, routing number, and the last four digits of any linked cards.

The account number also appears on any statement you read or view through the Statements section. Open any recent statement as a PDF, and your account number is printed in the upper right corner, usually next to your account type (Checking, Savings, etc.). This method works even if you have not logged in recently, because Bank of America keeps statements available for seven years.

  • Any statement you read as a PDF contains your account number in the upper right corner.

  • Bank of America customer service can read your account number to you over the phone if you cannot access the website.

Logging in and navigating to your account details

Go to bofa.com and enter your username and password. If you use two-factor authentication (which Bank of America calls "find Passage"), you will receive a code by text or email — enter it to complete login. Once you are on the home page, you should see a section labeled "Accounts" or "My Accounts" in the upper left area of the screen.

Click on your checking account name or the account tile. This takes you to the account detail page, where your full account number appears next to the account name at the top. If the number is partially hidden, click on it or look for an eye icon to reveal the full digits. Some versions of the site show the account number only after you click "View Account Details" or a similar link — the exact label changes depending on which version of the Bank of America website you are using.

Using statements to find your account number

If you prefer to find your account number on a statement, log in and look for a "Statements" or "Documents" section in the left menu. Click it, then select your checking account from the list. Bank of America displays statements in reverse chronological order, so your most recent statement is at the top.

Click on any statement to open it as a PDF. Your account number is printed in the header section, usually in the upper right corner next to your account type. The statement also shows your routing number (which is always 026009593 for Bank of America checking accounts, regardless of your branch location). Write down both numbers if you need them for a wire transfer, direct deposit setup, or other banking purpose.

Finding your account number on your debit card

Your Bank of America debit card has your checking account number printed directly on it. Look at the front of the card: below your name, you will see a long string of numbers. The first digits are your card number, but your account number is embedded in that sequence. The account number is typically the last 10 digits of the number printed on the card, though the exact position depends on your card design.

If you have an older card or are unsure which digits are your account number, use the website or statement method instead — those sources clearly label the account number and avoid confusion. Your routing number (026009593) is not printed on the card itself, so you will need to get that from a statement or the website if you need it.

What to do if you cannot log in to bofa.com

If you have forgotten your password or cannot access your account online, you can still find your account number by calling Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000. Have your Social Security number, date of birth, and a form of identification ready. A representative will verify your identity and read your account number to you over the phone.

You can also visit a Bank of America branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can print your account number on a piece of paper or tell you the number when ready. This is often faster than calling if you have a branch nearby, and it gives you a paper record you can keep for your files.

Account number versus routing number

Your account number is unique to your specific checking account and is 10 digits long. Your routing number is the same for all Bank of America customers in the United States and is always 026009593. When you set up direct deposit, make a wire transfer, or authorize an automatic payment, you typically need both numbers.

The account number identifies which account the money goes to. The routing number tells the sending bank which institution to send it to. Bank of America sometimes prints both on statements side by side, so you can copy them together. If you are filling out a form and it asks for your "account number," it means your 10-digit account number, not your routing number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my card number?

No. Your card number is the 16 digits printed on the front of your debit card. Your account number is a 10-digit number that is part of that sequence but is not the same as the full card number. The website and statements clearly separate the two, so use those sources if you need to be certain which number is which.

Can I see my account number on the Bank of America mobile app?

Yes. Log into the mobile app, tap your checking account, and look for "Account Details" or a similar option. The account number displays in the same place as it does on the website. The process is identical whether you use a phone or computer.

What if I see multiple account numbers on my statement?

If you have more than one checking account with Bank of America, each one has its own account number. Your statement shows only the account number for the statement you are viewing. Make sure you are looking at the statement for the correct account before you copy down the number.

Do I need my account number to transfer money between my own Bank of America accounts?

No. When you transfer money between your own Bank of America accounts through bofa.com or the mobile app, you straightforward select the "from" account and "to" account from dropdown menus. The system handles the account numbers behind the scenes. You only need the account number when you are sending money to someone else's account or setting up a transfer from an outside bank.
