Where to find your account number right now
Your Bank of America account number is printed on the bottom left of every check you receive. If you have checks, look at the second set of numbers on that bottom line — that is your account number. It is usually 10 digits long.
If you do not have checks or cannot find them, the fastest way is to log into your Bank of America online account or mobile app. Once you are signed in, your account number appears on your account details page, usually labeled "Account Number" or shown next to your account type (like "Checking" or "Savings").
You can also call Bank of America customer service at 1-800-432-1000 and speak to a representative who will verify your identity and read your account number to you over the phone. Have your Social Security number and a form of ID ready when you call.

Using the online account portal
Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com using your username and password. Once you are signed in, you will see your accounts listed on the main dashboard or homepage.
Click on the account you need the number for — whether it is checking, savings, or another type. A details page will open showing your account information. Your account number will be displayed prominently, often near the top of the page next to your account type and current balance.
If you have trouble finding it, look for a link or button labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or "View Details." Some versions of the site also show your account number in the account settings area.
Using the mobile app
Open the Bank of America mobile app and sign in with your username and password. Tap on the account you need information for from your accounts list.
Your account number will appear on the account overview screen. You may need to tap a menu icon (three horizontal lines) or a "Details" button to see the full account number if it is partially hidden for security reasons.
The mobile app works the same way whether you use an iPhone or Android device. If you do not have the app yet, you can read it for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Visiting a Bank of America branch
Go to any Bank of America branch during business hours with a valid photo ID — a driver's license, passport, or state ID card all work. Tell the teller you need your account number.
The teller will verify your identity and provide your account number. They can also print out a statement or account summary that shows your account number if you want a paper copy to keep.
If you are not sure where your nearest branch is, use the branch locator tool on bankofamerica.com or call 1-800-432-1000 and ask for the closest location.
What to do if you cannot remember your login information
If you have forgotten your username or password, go to bankofamerica.com and click "Forgot Username?" or "Forgot Password?" on the login page. Bank of America will walk you through steps to reset your access using your Social Security number and other identifying information.
If you cannot reset your login online, call 1-800-432-1000 and a representative can help you regain access to your account. Have your Social Security number and a recent statement or other identifying document ready.
Once your login is restored, you will be able to see your account number in your online account or mobile app.
Why you might need your account number
Your account number is used when you set up direct deposit for paychecks, arrange automatic bill payments, or receive wire transfers. It is also needed if you want to link your Bank of America account to another bank or financial service.
Some employers, government agencies, and service providers ask for your account number and routing number together. Your routing number for Bank of America is 121000248 for most locations, but always confirm with your bank if you are unsure.
Keep your account number private like you would your Social Security number. Do not share it in emails or texts, and only provide it to people or organizations you trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your account number is a 10-digit number tied to your bank account. Your debit or credit card number is a 16-digit number printed on the front of your card. They are different numbers for different purposes.
Can I see my account number on my debit card?
No. Your debit card shows your card number, not your account number. Your account number is only on your checks, in your online account, or available from a teller or customer service representative.
What if I have multiple accounts with Bank of America?
Each account has its own account number. When you log into your online account or mobile app, you will see all your accounts listed. Click on each one to view its specific account number.
Is it safe to give my account number to my employer?
Yes, it is safe to give your account number and routing number to your employer for direct deposit. These two numbers together allow them to deposit your paycheck into your account. They do not allow access to withdraw money or make purchases.
Can I change my account number?
