Where to find your account number

Your Bank of America account number is printed on the bottom left of every check you receive. If you have checks, look at the first set of numbers after the routing number — that's your account number, usually 10 digits long.

If you don't have checks or prefer not to dig through a checkbook, you can find your account number in three other places: your monthly statement (printed or online), your debit card, or by logging into your Bank of America account online or through the mobile app. Each method takes less than a minute once you know where to look.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number appears on the bottom left of your checks, right after the routing number, and is usually 10 digits long.
  • You can see your full account number by logging into your Bank of America online account or mobile app under account details or the main dashboard.
  • Your monthly statement — whether you receive it by mail or view it online — displays your account number near the top of the page.
  • If you need the number and don't have online access, you can call Bank of America customer service at the number on the back of your debit card.

Checking your online account or mobile app

Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com or open the mobile app on your phone. Once you're signed in, your account number will appear on the main dashboard or account summary page — usually labeled as "Account Number" next to your account type (like "Checking" or "Savings").

If you don't see it when ready on the main page, look for a section called "Account Details" or "Account Information." You may need to click or tap to expand this section. The full 10-digit number will be displayed there. This is the fastest way to find your number if you already have your password set up.

Looking at your monthly statement

Bank of America sends statements either by mail or electronically, depending on how you set up your account. Your account number appears near the top of the statement, usually in the upper right corner or next to your name and address.

If you receive statements by mail, check the most recent one you have. If you prefer to view statements online, log into your account and look for a section labeled "Statements" or "Documents." You can view any statement from the past several years and find your account number there. This method works even if you're having trouble remembering your online password.

Checking your debit card

Your Bank of America debit card displays a shortened version of your account number on the front or back. However, this is usually not your complete account number — it may show only the last four digits, or a partial number that doesn't give you the full picture.

For your full 10-digit account number, use one of the other methods above. The partial number on your card is useful for identifying which account a transaction belongs to when you're looking at receipts or statements, but banks and businesses often need the complete number for direct deposit, wire transfers, or linking accounts.

Calling customer service

If you don't have online access or can't locate your account number through the methods above, you can call Bank of America directly. The phone number is printed on the back of your debit card or on any statement you've received.

When you call, have your Social Security number and a form of identification ready. A representative will verify your identity and provide your account number over the phone. This usually takes a few minutes. You can also visit a Bank of America branch in person with your ID, and a teller can write down your account number for you.

Why you might need your account number

Your account number is necessary for setting up direct deposit from an employer or government benefit, arranging wire transfers, or giving payment instructions to a business. Some online services ask for it when you want to link your Bank of America account to their platform for bill pay or transfers.

Keep your account number private — treat it like you would your Social Security number. Don't share it in emails or texts, and only provide it to people and organizations you trust. Your bank will never ask you to confirm your account number via email or unsolicited phone call. If someone contacts you asking for it, that's a sign of a scam.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my routing number?

No. Your routing number identifies Bank of America itself (it's the same for all Bank of America customers in your region), while your account number identifies your specific account. Both appear on the bottom of your checks, with the routing number first.

Can I use the partial account number on my debit card instead of the full number?

It depends on what you're doing. For some purposes, the last four digits are enough. But for direct deposit, wire transfers, and linking accounts to other services, you'll need the complete 10-digit number. When in doubt, provide the full number.

What if I can't remember my online password?

Go to bankofamerica.com and click "Forgot Username or Password." Bank of America will walk you through resetting it using your Social Security number and other identifying information. Once you're back in your account, you can find your account number on the main dashboard.

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

Yes. If you close your current account and open a new one, you'll receive a new account number. The old number will no longer work, so update any direct deposit or automatic payment instructions with your new number.

Can I find my account number without logging in?

Yes. Check a paper statement or look at the bottom of a check. You can also call customer service or visit a branch in person. The online method is fastest if you have your password, but these other options work if you're locked out of your account.
