How To Find A Bank of America Branch
If you want to open a Bank of America account in person rather than online, you’ll need to find a local branch. Even though you can apply online or use the app on your mobile device to open a checking account, savings account or request a new debit card, sometimes you want to visit a physical branch.
The easiest way to find a list of Bank of America locations near you is through its main webpage, bankofamerica.com. Right under the login info, you’ll see a button labeled “Find your closest financial center or ATM.”
Once you click on this, you’ll be led to a simple page with a search bar where you can type in your state, city or ZIP code. There’s also an interactive map where you can search through locations. You can filter based on services offered like different financial solutions advisors or home loans specialists. And you can specify features of the branch like drive-thru ATMs.
Once you’ve found your location, click on the branch you’re interested in to see the services it offers, learn its hours and schedule an in-person appointment.
BofA mobile users can also find locations at the bottom of their login dashboard on the app. For ATM-only locations when you just need to take out cash, you can find the “ATM services” dropdown menu online where you can select the type of ATM you’re looking for. In-person locations are better options for loan services, complex banking questions, business deposits and notary needs.

FAQ: Bank of America
The max you can withdraw from a Bank of America ATM in a single transaction is $1,000. To take out $5,000, you’ll need to contact Bank of America beforehand to see if there’s a way to withdraw that amount in one transaction or you’ll need to make separate transactions. It’s best to visit a branch to make a large withdrawal or move large amounts of money.
Bank of America has purchased a number of other banks and financial institutions. Perhaps the best known is Merrill Lynch, which manages investments. Bank of America also bought banks including:
- LaSalle Bank
- U.S. Trust
- FleetBoston Financial
- MBNA
Both Bank of America and Chase are reputable institutions, so the one you choose will depend on some personal preferences. For example, Chase Bank does not require a minimum opening deposit for most of its checking accounts, whereas Bank of America’s range from $25 to $100. So, if you need to open a checking account with minimal funds, Chase Bank might be the way to go. Or if you’re looking for a bank that offers an automated roundup program to grow your savings, you might like Bank of America for its “Keep the Change” service.
