Your account number is on your debit card, checks, and online
Your Bank of America account number is a 10-digit code that identifies your specific checking or savings account. You can find it in three places without calling the bank: on the front of your debit card, on the bottom left of any check you have, or by logging into your Bank of America online account or mobile app.
The fastest way is usually your debit card. Look at the raised numbers on the front — the account number is the second set of digits, after the card number itself. If you do not have your card handy, any check from that account will show the account number in the bottom left corner, printed below the routing number.
If you need the number right now and do not have a card or checks, you can log into your Bank of America account online at bankofamerica.com or open the Bank of America mobile app. Once you are signed in, your account number appears on the account details page, usually labeled "Account Number" or shown under your account name.
Key Takeaways
- Your account number is a 10-digit code printed on your debit card, checks, and visible in your online account.
- The debit card shows it as the second set of numbers on the front, after the card number itself.
- Checks display the account number in the bottom left corner, below the routing number.
- You can view your account number by logging into your Bank of America online account or mobile app without contacting the bank.
Finding the number on your debit card
Look at the front of your Bank of America debit card. You will see raised numbers in two rows. The first row is your 16-digit card number. The second row, directly below it, contains your account number — it will be 10 digits long.
The account number on your card is the same whether you have a checking account, savings account, or both. If you have multiple accounts with Bank of America, each one has its own 10-digit account number, but they may all appear on the same debit card if the card is linked to multiple accounts.
Finding the number on a check
Open your checkbook and look at the bottom of any check. You will see three sets of numbers printed in magnetic ink. From left to right, they are: the routing number (9 digits), your account number (10 digits), and the check number (4 or 5 digits).
The account number is always in the middle. It will match the account number on your debit card if both are tied to the same account. If you have multiple checking accounts, each checkbook will have a different account number printed on it.
Viewing your account number online or in the app
Go to bankofamerica.com and sign in with your username and password. Once you are logged in, your account number appears on the main dashboard or account summary page. It is usually shown next to your account name or under a section labeled "Account Details."
The Bank of America mobile app shows your account number in the same place. Open the app, sign in, and look at your account overview. Tap on the account you need information for, and the account number will be displayed on the details screen.
This method works even if you do not have your debit card or checks with you. You can also take a screenshot of the account number for your records, though Bank of America recommends not sharing screenshots of account information with others.
When you need the account number but cannot access it
If you do not have a debit card, checks, or access to your online account, you can call Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000. Have your Social Security number and a form of identification ready. The representative will verify your identity and provide your account number over the phone.
You can also visit a Bank of America branch in person. Bring a government-issued ID, and a teller can look up your account number and write it down for you. This is useful if you have forgotten your online password or do not remember your username.
What to do with your account number once you have it
You will need your account number when setting up direct deposit for paychecks, arranging automatic bill payments, or transferring money between your own accounts. Employers, payroll services, and other financial institutions ask for it to route money to the correct account.
You may also need it when contacting Bank of America customer service about your account, though the representative can usually look it up using your Social Security number and other identifying information. Keep your account number in a safe place, but do not share it with people you do not trust — it is sensitive financial information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your card number is the 16-digit number on the front of your debit card. Your account number is the 10-digit number printed directly below it. They are different codes that identify different things — the card itself and the bank account behind it.
Can I find my account number on a Bank of America ATM receipt?
Yes. If you have withdrawn money from a Bank of America ATM, your receipt will show the last four digits of your account number for security reasons. To see the full 10-digit account number, use your debit card, checks, or online account instead.
What if I have multiple Bank of America accounts?
Each account has its own 10-digit account number. If you have a checking account and a savings account, they will have different numbers. Your debit card may be linked to one or both accounts, and your online dashboard will show all your accounts with their separate numbers listed.
Do I need my account number to log into online banking?
No. You log into Bank of America online banking using your username and password, not your account number. Once you are logged in, you can see your account number on the account details page.
