How to Reach a Live Person at Bank of America

Call 1-800-432-1000 and say “representative” at each prompt, or press 0 repeatedly. For credit cards, call 1-800-732-9194 and follow the same steps. Have your account number and Social Security number ready — you will need them before an agent can assist.

What to Have Ready Before You Call

  • Account or card number
  • Last four digits of your Social Security number
  • Recent transaction details (if disputing a charge)

Use the App Instead of Calling

The Bank of America mobile app includes Erica, a virtual assistant that handles account questions without hold time:

  • Lock or unlock a card instantly
  • Dispute a transaction (tap the transaction → “Dispute this transaction”)
  • Make transfers and payments
  • Chat with Erica for account questions
