The fastest way to find a Bank of America location
Bank of America's branch locator tool on their website (bankofamerica.com) shows you every branch and ATM within a distance you choose. You enter your address or zip code, select how far you're willing to travel, and the map displays locations with hours, phone numbers, and what services each branch offers. This is faster than calling or searching Google because it filters for actual Bank of America locations—not third-party ATM networks that happen to work with your card.
If you don't have internet access, you can call Bank of America's customer service line at 1-800-432-1000 and ask for branch locations near you. They'll give you addresses and hours over the phone. Mobile app users can also tap the "Locations" tab in the Bank of America mobile app to see nearby branches and ATMs with real-time information.

What to expect at different types of Bank of America locations
Bank of America operates full-service branches, express branches, and standalone ATMs. A full-service branch has tellers, loan officers, and advisors on staff during business hours. An express branch is smaller and handles basic transactions like deposits and withdrawals but may not have loan services. Standalone ATMs are in retail locations, gas stations, and other public spaces and work 24/7 for cash withdrawals and deposits.
The branch locator tool tells you which type each location is, so you know before you go whether you can handle your specific task there. If you need to open an account or discuss a mortgage, you need a full-service branch. If you just need to deposit a check or withdraw cash, an express branch or ATM may be closer.
Using the branch locator tool step by step
Go to bankofamerica.com and look for the "Locations" or "Find a Branch" link, usually in the top navigation or footer. Click it and you'll see a search box. Enter your street address, city and state, or zip code. The tool will show you a map with pins for every Bank of America branch and ATM in the area.
On the left side of the map, you'll see a list of locations sorted by distance from your search point. Each listing shows the address, phone number, hours of operation, and a label for what type of location it is (branch, express, or ATM). Click any location to see more details, including which services are available there and whether it's wheelchair accessible. You can also adjust the search radius at the top if you want to see locations farther away.
ATM access outside of Bank of America branches
Bank of America is part of the Allpoint network, which means your debit card works at over 55,000 ATMs worldwide without a fee. You can find Allpoint ATMs using the Allpoint locator tool on their website or in the Bank of America app. These are not Bank of America ATMs, but they work with your account the same way.
If you use a Bank of America credit card or debit card at an ATM that is not part of Bank of America or Allpoint, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator. The fee varies but is typically $2 to $3. Bank of America will refund some out-of-network ATM fees depending on your account type, so check your account details or call customer service to see if you're covered.
What to bring when you visit a branch
For basic transactions like deposits or withdrawals, bring your debit card or checkbook and a valid ID. For opening a new account, bring a government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID), proof of address (a recent utility bill or lease), and your Social Security number. If you're applying for a loan or credit product, bring recent pay stubs, tax returns, and information about any debts you carry.
Call ahead if you're planning to do something that might take a long time, like applying for a mortgage or discussing investment options. Many branches allow you to schedule an appointment with a loan officer or financial advisor, which means you won't wait in line and the person you meet will have time to answer your questions thoroughly.
Branch hours and holiday closures
Most Bank of America branches are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with some locations open on Saturday mornings. Hours vary by location, so check the branch locator tool for the specific hours of the branch you plan to visit. Some branches in busy areas stay open later or open on Sunday, but this is not standard.
Bank of America branches close on federal holidays, including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. ATMs remain available 24/7 even when branches are closed. If you need to handle a transaction on a holiday, use the ATM or call customer service to see if you can complete it over the phone or through the mobile app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do everything at an ATM that I can do at a branch?
No. ATMs let you withdraw cash, deposit checks and cash, transfer money between accounts, and check your balance. You cannot open a new account, apply for a loan, dispute a transaction, or speak to a representative at an ATM. For those services, you need to visit a branch during business hours or call customer service.
What if there's no Bank of America branch near me?
You can handle most banking through the mobile app or website without visiting a branch. Deposits work through mobile check deposit, transfers happen online, and customer service is available by phone 24/7. If you need to withdraw cash and there's no nearby branch, use the Allpoint network locator to find a partner ATM that works with your card.
Do I need an appointment to visit a Bank of America branch?
Walk-ins are welcome for basic transactions like deposits and withdrawals. For services that take longer—opening an account, applying for a loan, or meeting with a financial advisor—calling ahead to schedule an appointment is faster and ensures someone is available to help you.
Can I use my Bank of America card at other banks' ATMs?
Yes, but you may be charged a fee. Bank of America's Allpoint network includes over 55,000 ATMs worldwide with no fee. At other ATMs, the operator charges a fee (usually $2 to $3), though some Bank of America accounts refund out-of-network fees. Check your account terms or call customer service to see if you're covered.
Are Bank of America ATMs available 24/7?
Yes. ATMs at Bank of America branches and standalone locations work around the clock, every day of the year. Branch hours do not affect ATM access. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks, and transfer money at any time, though some transactions may not process until the next business day.
