Your account number appears in three places in the Bank of America app

Open the Bank of America app and tap the account you want. The account number shows on the account details screen — usually displayed as the last four digits with the full number hidden. To see the complete number, tap "Account Details" or the account card itself. The full account number also appears on any statement you read or view through the app, and in the transfer or payment screens when you set up a transaction to another bank.

The exact location varies slightly depending on whether you use the iPhone or Android version, but the process is the same: find your account in the app, open its details, and the number is there. You do not need to call customer service or log into the website to retrieve it.

Key Takeaways

  • The full account number appears when you tap "Account Details" on any account card in the app.
  • Statements downloaded through the app display your account number at the top of the document.
  • When you initiate a transfer or payment to another bank, the account number appears in the confirmation screen.
  • The app shows the last four digits by default for security, but you can reveal the full number on the same screen.

Finding the number on the account details screen

After you open the Bank of America app and sign in, tap the account you need. On the account card or summary screen, look for a link or button labeled "Account Details," "View Details," or sometimes just an information icon. Tap it. The full account number displays on the next screen, usually near the top alongside the account type (checking, savings, money market, and so on).

If you see only the last four digits, tap the number itself or look for an eye icon next to it. This reveals the full account number temporarily. The app will hide it again after a few seconds for security. If you need to write it down or copy it, do so while the full number is visible.

Locating it in your statements

Every statement you view or read in the app includes your account number. Open the app, go to the account, and look for "Statements" or "Documents." Select the statement you want — usually the most recent one appears first. When you open the statement, the account number is printed at the top, often in the upper right corner next to the statement date.

You can read the statement as a PDF and save it to your phone or email it to yourself. The account number stays on the downloaded copy, so you have a permanent record if you need to reference it later.

Seeing it during transfers and payments

When you set up a transfer to another bank or make a payment from your Bank of America account, the app shows your account number in the transaction details. Start a new transfer or payment, select the account you are sending from, and the confirmation screen displays which account the money is leaving. Your account number appears there, usually with the last four digits shown prominently.

This is useful if you need to verify the account number before you complete the transaction. The app will not process the transfer until you confirm, so you have time to check that the correct account is selected.

Why the app hides the full number by default

Bank of America masks the complete account number on the main account screen to protect your information if someone looks over your shoulder or gains brief access to your phone. Showing only the last four digits lets you identify which account you are viewing without exposing the entire number to casual observation.

When you tap into Account Details or open a statement, the app assumes you intentionally want the full number and displays it. This is a security trade-off: convenience when you need it, protection when you do not.

What to do if the account number does not appear

If you cannot find the account number after following these steps, the most common reason is that you are looking at a linked account from another bank or a credit card rather than a Bank of America deposit account. Credit cards and external accounts may not display the same way. Check that you have selected a Bank of America checking, savings, or money market account.

If you are certain you are in the right account and the number still does not show, try signing out of the app completely and signing back in. Sometimes a display glitch prevents the account details from loading. If that does not work, you can view your account number on the Bank of America website by logging in and navigating to Account Details, or call the number on the back of your debit card to speak with customer service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I copy my account number directly from the app?

Yes. When the full account number is visible on the Account Details screen, tap and hold the number to select it, then tap "Copy." You can then paste it into an email, note, or another app. Some phones also let you screenshot the screen and crop the image to save just the account number.

Is it safe to share my account number from the app?

Your account number alone is not enough to withdraw money or make unauthorized transfers — Bank of America requires additional verification. You can safely share your account number with your employer for direct deposit, with another bank for incoming transfers, or with a business you are paying. Never share your PIN or online password.

Why does my account number look different on the app than on my checks?

The number on your checks is your account number, and it should match what appears in the app. If it does not, contact Bank of America to confirm you are looking at the correct account. Older accounts or accounts that have been merged sometimes display differently, but the account number itself does not change.

Can I find my account number if I am locked out of the app?

If you cannot sign into the app, you can view your account number on a paper statement, a check, or by calling the customer service number on your debit card. You can also log into the Bank of America website from a computer if you remember your online password.
