What you can handle by phone

The phone line is the fastest route for time-sensitive issues. Representatives can report fraud or unauthorized charges, place a temporary freeze on your card, update your address or phone number, discuss your credit limit, explain a charge on your statement, and process a payment over the phone. If you're disputing a transaction, the representative will start a dispute case and give you a reference number on the call.

Have your statement handy if you're calling about a specific charge. The representative will ask for the transaction date, amount, and merchant name. If you're reporting fraud, be ready to describe when you first noticed the unauthorized activity and whether you still have the card in your possession.

Reaching support through your online account

Log into your Bank of America account at bankofamerica.com or through the mobile app. Once logged in, look for "Help" or "Contact Us" in the menu — the exact location varies slightly between the website and app. From there, you can start a chat, view FAQs, or access the contact form to send a message.

Chat sessions are monitored during business hours, typically 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, though hours may vary. If you chat outside these hours, your message will be queued and a representative will respond the next business day. The online account portal also lets you view your recent transactions, read statements, and make payments without calling.

Mailing a written request or dispute

For formal disputes, billing error notices, or complaints that you want documented in writing, send a letter to the address on your credit card statement. Include your account number, the date of the transaction in question, the amount, and a clear description of the issue. Keep a copy for your records and consider sending it via certified mail so you have proof of delivery.

Bank of America has specific timelines for responding to billing disputes and error claims. Written requests typically receive a response within 30 days, though some disputes may take longer depending on the complexity. If you're disputing a charge, the bank will investigate and either credit your account or explain why the charge is valid.

When to use the fraud and security line

If you believe your card has been compromised or used fraudulently, call the main credit card line at 1-800-435-7925 and tell the automated system you're reporting fraud. You'll be routed to a fraud specialist who can when ready freeze or cancel your card and discuss the unauthorized charges. Bank of America will not hold you responsible for fraudulent charges reported promptly, but the sooner you report them, the faster the investigation moves.

Do not email or message fraud concerns through your online account. Always call the phone line or visit a branch in person. If your card is lost or stolen, you can also report it through the mobile app by going to your card settings and selecting "Lock Card" or "Report Lost/Stolen."

Visiting a Bank of America branch in person

If you have a credit card issue and prefer to handle it face-to-face, visit any Bank of America branch during business hours. Bring your card and a photo ID. Branch staff can discuss your account, process disputes, update your information, and answer questions about your credit limit or rewards program. Some branches have extended hours on weekdays and limited hours on weekends — check the branch locator on bankofamerica.com to confirm hours before you go.

For complex disputes or issues that require investigation, the branch representative may still need to escalate your case to the credit card department, but they can start the process and give you a reference number on the spot.

What information to have ready

Before you contact Bank of America, gather the details relevant to your issue. For billing questions, have the transaction date, amount, and merchant name. For account changes, have your new address or phone number. For fraud reports, note the date you discovered the unauthorized activity and the amounts involved. For disputes, have your statement showing the charge you're questioning.

Never share your full Social Security number, PIN, or full card number via email or unsecured messaging. Bank of America representatives will ask for the last four digits of your card or account number to verify your identity, not the full number. If you receive an email or call asking for sensitive information, do not respond — contact Bank of America directly using the phone number on your statement.
