Your routing number is printed on the bottom left of your checks, or you can find it on your Bank of America statement or online account
Bank of America's routing number depends on which state your account was opened in. The most common routing number is 026009593, but if your account is in California, Texas, Florida, or New York, yours may be different. The fastest way to find your specific number is to look at a check from your account — it's the first set of nine digits on the bottom left, before your account number.
If you don't have checks, log into your Bank of America online account or mobile app. Go to your account details or account information section — the routing number appears there alongside your account number. You can also call Bank of America at 1-800-432-1000 and speak to a representative who can confirm your routing number in seconds.

- The most common Bank of America routing number is 026009593, but confirm yours matches your account location before using it.
Check the bottom of your checks
The simplest place to look is a check from your account. At the bottom of the check, you'll see three sets of numbers separated by vertical lines. The first set — always nine digits — is your routing number. The second set is your account number. The third set is the check number.
If you have an older checkbook, the routing number is still in the same place. Bank of America doesn't change routing numbers based on account age, so a check from years ago will show the correct routing number for your account.
Find it in your online account or statement
Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com or through the mobile app. Once you're signed in, navigate to your account details or account information page — the exact label varies depending on which version of the site you're using. Your routing number appears next to your account number in this section.
You can also look at a recent statement, whether you receive it by mail or view it online. Bank of America prints your routing number on statements, usually near the top or in the account information section. If you're looking at a PDF statement online, use your browser's search function to find "routing" and it will take you directly to the number.

Your account's routing number depends on the state where you opened it, not where you live now. If you moved after opening your account, your routing number stays the same. The table above shows the main routing numbers Bank of America uses by region, but the only way to be certain of your exact number is to check your checks, statement, or online account.
Call Bank of America to confirm your routing number
If you can't locate your routing number through any of the methods above, call Bank of America's customer service line at 1-800-432-1000. Have your account number or Social Security number ready. A representative will confirm your routing number in less than a minute and can answer any questions about how to use it.
Bank of America also has routing number lookup tools on their website, though they're less direct than calling or checking your account. If you're setting up a direct deposit or wire transfer and need to confirm the number before submitting it, a phone call is the fastest verification method.
Why you need your routing number and when to use it
Your routing number tells the banking system which Bank of America branch processes your account. You need it for direct deposits (like paychecks or tax refunds), setting up automatic bill payments, receiving wire transfers, and ACH transfers from other banks. It's not sensitive information — it's printed on every check you write — but you should always double-check it before submitting it to a new payroll system or payment service.
The routing number is different from your account number. Your account number is unique to you; your routing number is shared by all Bank of America customers in your state or region. Together, they tell any financial institution exactly where to send or pull money.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my routing number the same as my account number?
No. Your routing number is the nine-digit code on the bottom left of your check; your account number is the second set of digits. The routing number identifies your Bank of America branch or region. Your account number identifies your specific account within that branch.
Do I need a different routing number for checking and savings accounts?
No. Both your checking and savings accounts at Bank of America use the same routing number. The routing number is tied to your branch or region, not to the type of account.
What if I have an old check and the routing number looks different?
Bank of America has consolidated branches over the years, but routing numbers for existing accounts don't change. If an old check shows a different number, contact Bank of America to confirm which number is current for your account. Use the number from your recent statement or online account rather than an old check.
Can I use the same routing number for wire transfers and direct deposits?
Yes. Your routing number works for any type of electronic transfer into or out of your account — direct deposits, bill payments, wire transfers, and ACH transfers all use the same routing number.
