Use a Check
For checking accounts, you can find the routing number in the lower left-hand corner of the checks corresponding with your checking account. It's the first 9 digits located at the bottom of the check.
Go Online
On the Bank of America website, visit the Information and Services tab after logging into your account to find your routing number.
On the mobile app, sign in and select the Accounts Overview tab to select your checking or savings account. Scroll down to the Account Details heading.
Call Customer Service
Call Bank of America at 800.432.1000, Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–11 p.m. ET or Sat–Sun 8 a.m.–8 p.m. ET. After you provide a few specific details to identify yourself, a representative will be able to confirm your account's routing number.
Routing Numbers for Domestic/International Wire Transfers
Wire transfers are a faster way to send money than an ACH transfer. From your Bank of America account, you can wire money to other bank accounts, and other accounts can wire funds to you.
For all domestic and international wire transfers using a Bank of America account, the routing number is 026009593.
Domestic Transfers
For all domestic wire transfers using a Bank of America account, the routing number is 026009593.
To SEND a domestic wire transfer, you'll also need:
- The name and location of the recipient's bank
- The recipient's account number
- Recipient bank's wire transfer routing number
International Transfers
For all international wire transfers with a Bank of America account, use the routing number 026009593 and the appropriate Bank of America SWIFT code depending on which currency is being sent:
- US Dollars: BOFAUS3N
- Foreign currency: BOFAUS6S
- Not sure? Use: BOFAUS3N
To SEND an international wire, you'll also need:
- Recipient bank name, address, and country
- Recipient account number (you may need a country-specific account structure, e.g., a CLABE for Mexico or an IBAN for international bank accounts)
- Recipient bank's SWIFT code
- Currency of recipient's account (foreign currency or US dollars)
- Purpose of wire
PRO TIP: When you send or receive money using your bank, you might lose out on a bad exchange rate and pay hidden fees as a result. That's because most banks still use an old system to exchange money. Consider using Wise, which is usually much cheaper.

Setting Up Your Account for Wire Transfers

- Follow the on-screen instructions
Once you have your SafePass, you can initiate the wire transfer.

Outbound international wire sent in US dollars: $45
Which Bank of America Routing Number Should You Use?
For Any Domestic Money Transfer Activity Besides Wire Transfers:
Use the routing number for the bank where you opened your account.
For Domestic Wire Transfers:
Use the routing number 026009593.
For International Wire Transfers:
Use the routing number 026009593 plus the correct Bank of America SWIFT code.
- For U.S. dollars, use BOFAUS3N.
- For foreign currency, use BOFAUS6S
- If you are unsure which currency you are receiving, use BOFAUS3N.
Although your debit card is associated with a bank account, you do not use a routing number for debit card transactions. Routing numbers are only used for transfers directly between bank accounts.
Likewise, credit cards do not have routing numbers since they are not directly linked to any bank account. When you pay your credit card online, you may need to use your bank account routing number to set up the link between your credit card account and checking account, like you would for any other bill.
Bottom Line
You'll likely need your Bank of America routing number when managing your finances. Keep it handy should you need to set up a direct deposit, automatic payment, or wire transfer.
