Your account number is in the Accounts tab, visible at the top of each account card

Open the Bank of America app and tap Accounts at the bottom of the screen. Each account you hold — checking, savings, money market — appears as a card. Your account number is printed directly on the card, usually below the account name. The full number is 10 digits long. You can see it without tapping further or scrolling.

If you have multiple accounts, each card shows its own number. Tap the specific account you need, and the number stays visible on that card. The number does not change when you switch between accounts in the app.

The account number is the same whether you view it in the app, on your debit card, or on a paper statement. Bank of America does not generate different numbers for different channels — it is the same identifier across all of them.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number appears on the account card in the Accounts tab without any additional steps or navigation.
  • The number is 10 digits and is the same across the app, your debit card, and paper statements.
  • If you have multiple accounts, each one displays its own number on its card.
  • You can copy the number directly from the app to use for wire transfers, direct deposits, or other banking needs.
  • The account number is different from your routing number, which you may also need for certain transactions.

How to copy your account number in the app

Once you see the account number on the card, press and hold the number itself. A menu appears with the option to copy. Tap Copy, and the number goes to your clipboard. You can then paste it into an email, a form, or another app without typing it manually.

This feature works on both iPhone and Android versions of the Bank of America app. The copy function reduces the chance of typing errors when you need the number for a transfer, a new payroll setup, or a vendor payment.

When you need your account number versus your routing number

Your account number identifies which specific account the money should go to. Your routing number identifies Bank of America itself. For most transactions, you need both.

Use your account number when you are setting up a direct deposit from an employer, receiving a wire transfer from another bank, or paying a bill through a third-party service. Use your routing number when the receiving institution needs to know which bank to pull the money from. Bank of America's routing number is 026009593 for most accounts, though some specialty accounts may have a different one.

If you are unsure which number a form is asking for, the form usually labels it clearly. "Account number" means the 10-digit identifier on your card. "Routing number" or "ABA number" means the bank identifier.

Finding your account number on older versions of the app

If your Bank of America app looks different from the current version, the account number is still in the Accounts section, but the layout may vary slightly. Tap Accounts or My Accounts depending on your version, and look for the account card. The number appears in the same position on the card.

If you cannot locate it in the app, the fastest route is to check your debit card itself — the account number is printed there. You can also log into Bank of America's website on a computer, go to the Accounts section, and find the number there.

What to do if the account number is not visible

If the Accounts tab shows your accounts but the numbers are hidden or blurred, check whether you have enabled privacy or security settings in the app. Some users turn on features that hide sensitive information on the home screen. Tap into the specific account card, and the full number usually displays.

If the number still does not appear, your account may be restricted or frozen, or there may be a technical issue with the app. Restart the app by closing it completely and reopening it. If that does not work, contact Bank of America directly through the app — tap Help & Support at the bottom, then select Contact Us. A representative can confirm your account number over the phone or through find messaging.

Using your account number for common banking tasks

Once you have your account number, you can use it to set up direct deposit from your employer. Provide both the account number and the routing number to your payroll department. The deposit usually begins within one to two pay cycles.

You can also use it to receive wire transfers from other banks, to set up automatic bill payments through a biller's website, or to transfer money from another institution into your Bank of America account. When you initiate a transfer from another bank to Bank of America, you will enter your account number as the destination account.

If you are sending money out of Bank of America to another bank, you typically do not need to provide your own account number — you provide the receiving account number instead. The Bank of America app handles the routing automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my card number?

No. Your account number is 10 digits and identifies your specific account at Bank of America. Your debit card number is 16 digits and is tied to that account but is a separate identifier. The account number appears on the card, but it is not the same as the card number printed on the front.

Can I see my account number if I do not have a debit card?

Yes. The account number appears in the app regardless of whether you have a physical debit card. If you have a savings account with no card, or if your card has not arrived yet, the app still displays the account number on the account card in the Accounts tab.

What should I do if I think someone has my account number?

An account number alone does not allow someone to withdraw money or make purchases — they also need your PIN, password, or other verification. If you are concerned, contact Bank of America through the app or by phone. They can monitor the account and alert you to unusual activity, but changing the account number itself is not possible.

Does the account number change if I close and reopen the app?

No. Your account number is permanent and does not change when you close or reopen the app, restart your phone, or update the app. It remains the same for the life of the account unless you close the account entirely.
