It's understandable to need your card number, especially when you're making an online purchase or setting up a new subscription, and your physical card isn't immediately at hand. Good news! The Bank of America mobile app is designed to give you secure access to your account details, including your card number, with just a few taps.
Ready to see your card number and get that online transaction done? Let's dive in!
Step 1: Engage and Log In Securely
-
Are you ready to unlock the power of your Bank of America app? This is the first crucial step. You'll need to have the Bank of America Mobile Banking app downloaded on your smartphone or tablet. If you haven't already, head to your device's app store (App Store for iOS, Google Play Store for Android) and search for "Bank of America Mobile Banking." Once downloaded, open the app.
- Secure Login: For your security, the app will require you to log in with your User ID and Passcode. If you have Touch ID, Face ID, or fingerprint login enabled, you can use that for a faster and even more secure entry. Always ensure you are on a secure and trusted Wi-Fi network or using your mobile data when accessing banking apps.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Account Overview
- Once you're successfully logged in, you'll land on your Account Overview screen. This screen provides a quick summary of all your Bank of America accounts, including checking, savings, credit cards, and loans.
- Look for the card you want to view the number for. It will typically be listed with its last four digits and the card type (e.g., "Visa Platinum Plus" or "Better Balance Rewards Visa").
Step 3: Select Your Desired Card Account
- Tap on the specific credit or debit card account for which you want to see the full card number. This will take you to the details page for that particular card. On this page, you'll usually see your current balance, recent transactions, and other card-specific information.
Step 4: Locate Card Details or Card Management Options
- Now comes the part where you uncover the full card number. The exact wording and placement might vary slightly depending on your app version, but you're looking for options related to "Card Details," "Manage Card," or "Digital Card."
- Common places to look include:
- A "Card Details" or "View Card" button: This is often prominently displayed on the card's main page.
- A "Manage Card" section: You might need to scroll down or tap on a "More" or "Menu" icon within the card's details to find a section dedicated to managing the card.
- "Digital Card" or "Virtual Card" access: Bank of America offers digital card features, and sometimes accessing your digital card will display the full number.
Step 5: Verify Your Identity for Security
- This is a critical security step. To protect your financial information, Bank of America will almost certainly require you to re-verify your identity before displaying your full card number. This is a common banking practice to prevent unauthorized access.
- You might be prompted to:
- Enter your full passcode again.
- Answer security questions you've set up.
- Receive a one-time verification code via text message to your registered phone number or email. If you choose this option, be sure to have access to that registered device or email. Never share this code with anyone who calls or texts you, even if they claim to be from Bank of America.
Step 6: View Your Card Number
- Once your identity is successfully verified, voila! Your full card number will be displayed on the screen. It might be shown along with the expiration date and the CVV (Card Verification Value) code.
- Take note of the information you need immediately. Remember, for security purposes, you won't always see the full card number visible on the main account screen. It's an intentional measure to keep your financial data safe.
Important Security Considerations
- Never share your full card number, expiration date, or CVV with anyone unless you are making a legitimate purchase on a secure website or with a trusted merchant.
- Be wary of phishing attempts. Bank of America will never ask you for your full card number or security code via email or unsolicited phone calls.
- Keep your app updated. Regularly updating your Bank of America app ensures you have the latest security features and improvements.
- Enable strong authentication. Always use strong, unique passwords and consider enabling biometric login (fingerprint, Face ID) for an extra layer of security.
