Getting cash at an ATM
Show all answers
What is the maximum amount of money I can withdraw at an ATM?
The amount you can withdraw from an ATM is based on several factors, including limits that are set based on your card or account type, availability of funds in your account at the time the withdrawal is requested and in some cases the amount the ATM is capable of dispensing.
How do I set a Cash Preference?
Setting a Cash Preference enables you to set a preference for a specific dollar amount you commonly withdraw. Once you’ve set a Cash Preference amount, this preferred amount will appear on the PIN entry screen and also on “How much cash do you want?” during a Get cash withdrawal selected from the ATM’s main menu. Simply enter your PIN and then tap your preferred amount to speed up your withdrawal. In some cases, the maximum Cash Preference amount that can be set may be lower than your ATM daily withdrawal limit. To change your preferred Cash Preference amount at any time, visit a Bank of America ATM and start your transaction as you normally would. Select View more from the main menu, Manage preferences, then Cash preference, See how to set your ATM preferences
You will also be presented with additional withdrawal amount options on the PIN entry screen. You can quickly select one of the offered options, rather than going to the ATM’s main menu to complete your withdrawal. If you need to withdraw money from an account other than the primary checking account assigned to your debit card, follow the Get cash prompts on the ATM’s main menu.
What denominations are available at Bank of America ATMs?
When getting cash at a Bank of America ATM, you will have the ability to choose what bill types you would like for your withdrawal. Most of our ATMs have $10s, $20s or $100s available for selection, but sometimes there are exceptions. If there is more than one denomination to choose from at the time of your withdrawal, you will have the opportunity to select it in all of the same bill type (for example, in all $10s), choose a custom selection, or allow the ATM to pick for you.
How do I use the Mobile Banking app to get cash at a Bank of America ATM?
Setting up ATM withdrawals through our Mobile Banking app is easy—and can save you time when you’re on the go. Here’s how:
- Log in to our Mobile Banking app and select the checking or savings account from which you would like to get cash.Personal Schedule of Fees for additional information.” href=”#ftn_atmWithdrawalFromCheckingOrSavings_content”>
- Scroll to the ATM section and select GET CASH.
- When asked “How much cash do you want?,” simply select a pre-filled dollar amount or enter an Other Amount. (Dollar amounts lower than the account’s available balance and/or the card’s daily ATM withdrawal limit will be available for selection in increments of $20.)
- Select your preferred receipt type: Email Receipt, Paper Receipt or No Receipt.
Please note:
- If cash is not picked up within 24 hours the Mobile Banking app setup for your ATM withdrawal will expire.
- Setting up your withdrawal in the Mobile Banking app doesn’t deduct or hold funds in your account. Funds are debited from your account when you complete your withdrawal at any Bank of America ATM.
- The available balance in your account is confirmed during setup, but if funds are no longer sufficient to complete your withdrawal at the time of pickup your transaction may be declined.
- You don’t need to be logged in to the Mobile Banking app in order to pick up your cash.
- Once you arrive at a Bank of America ATM, insert your card into the card reader (the same card you selected when setting your withdrawal up in the app), tap your contactless card on the contactless reader or hold your mobile device’s digital wallet over the contactless reader. Follow the ATM on-screen prompts to enter your debit card PIN and pick up your cash. Please note that if you’re using a digital wallet, you must have your debit card selected.

Show all answers
Can I have ATM receipts sent to my email?
Yes, email receipts can be requested during eligible ATM transactions if you have at least one email address saved as part of your Mobile or Online Banking contact information and you’re conducting a transaction using your Bank of America consumer debit/ATM card.
Email receipts are available for withdrawals (including Fast Cash and withdrawals started in the Mobile Banking app), cash deposits, some check deposits and transfers. If you want a receipt with check images for your check deposits, you must choose a printed receipt. To protect your information, ATM email receipts do not contain your full account or card numbers.
How do I validate the accuracy of my email address before choosing to receive an ATM email receipt?
To help protect your information, your email address will be partially hidden on the ATM screen. For example, [email protected] will appear as j****[email protected]. On the Receipt Options screen, you’re given the opportunity to Show your full email address prior to selecting an email receipt. This will allow you to validate your email address.
If you have more than one email address associated with your bank accounts, you’re able to choose another email address during your ATM transaction by selecting Change on the Receipt Options screen. For each eligible transaction, only one email address can be selected to receive an email receipt.
How do I add or remove email addresses presented at the ATM?
To update your contact information and manage the email addresses associated with your bank accounts, log in to Online Banking or the Mobile Banking app and select Profile & Settings. You may also contact customer service or visit a financial center for assistance with updating your contact information.

Using ATMs in foreign countries
Show all answers
What tips can you give me for using an ATM in foreign countries?
Here are five tips for using ATMs in foreign countries:
1. Check the network
You can use your Bank of America debit card or ATM card anywhere you see the CIRRUS symbol. In addition to CIRRUS, you can use ATMs with the Mastercard or Visa symbols. The symbol on the front of your card will indicate if your card is Mastercard or Visa.
Find a Mastercard/CIRRUS ATM layer
Find a Visa ATM layer
2. Understand the types of fees being charged.
The non-Bank of America ATM usage fee is $5. This fee is assessed for each withdrawal, transfer or balance inquiry performed at a non-Bank of America ATM in a foreign country. In addition, the ATM operator may charge an access fee for cash withdrawals. Your deposit account statement will reflect the U.S. dollar equivalent of your foreign ATM withdrawal. Bank of America will assess an international transaction fee of 3% of the U.S. dollar amount for all ATM withdrawals processed in foreign currency. International ATM operators may offer to do your currency conversion for you, but they may charge a higher fee for conversion. To insure that your currency conversion does not incur a fee higher than the one stated above, you may refuse the ATM operator’s offer to convert the amount of the transaction. The fee is assessed as a separate transaction fee on the posting date of the withdrawal.
3. Verify your PIN before you travel.
Most international ATM operators support up to 12-digit PINs. However, some ATM operators only support four-digit PINs. Be sure your PIN does not start with a zero. Be sure to know your PIN by numbers, as some ATMs outside the United States don’t have letters on the keypad. If necessary, change your PIN before traveling to a foreign country. See how to change your PIN
4. Some international ATMs have limited functions.
All international ATM operators will provide you with withdrawal access from your primary checking account, but some may not offer access to your savings account or the ability to conduct transfers and balance inquiries. Some international ATMs are only available during normal business hours. Some international ATMs may not offer instructions in English.
5. Have a backup plan.
Systems used by international banks may occasionally be unavailable while you’re traveling, so there’s a possibility you won’t be able to use your card when you need to at an ATM or to make a purchase. In addition to using your debit or ATM card while traveling, consider also taking some foreign currency with you. Learn more about ordering foreign currency
Should I get foreign currency before I travel?
Many travelers find it helpful to have local currency immediately upon arrival in a foreign country for tips, taxis and other miscellaneous expenditures. Some airports and train stations do not have foreign exchange offices; if they do, they may have limited hours of operation and may charge higher rates for currency exchange.
Bank of America clients with checking and savings accounts can order foreign currency using Online Banking or the Mobile Banking app. Customers with credit cards only can order currency at a financial center. Learn more about ordering foreign currency

7 Ways to Work Around Bank of America's No-Cash Deposits …
7 Ways to Work Around Bank of America’s No-Cash Deposits Policy | MyBankTracker It’s no secret that online banking and innovative technology are changing the way people bank. But, there are some transactions that can’t be replaced by even the most advanced software. That’s why Bank of America customers are not too happy about the recent policy change, banning third-party individuals from making cash deposits into someone else’s account. Long gone are the days where grandma could walk into her local bank to deposit $25 into your account as a birthday surprise. Here we explain the reasons why Bank of America made this change, and explore alternatives to making cash deposits into someone else’s account. Bank of America’s No-Cash-Deposits Policy Following on the heels of other national banks, Bank of America no longer accepts cash deposits into an account that’s not yours. So, why did they make this change? According to the company, this policy change is for the safety and security of its customer’s accounts. In addition, it is meant to prevent criminal activity, including money laundering. Under the law, banks are required to take certain steps to prevent and combat money laundering. Although banning your grandmother from depositing cash into your account might seem extreme, by making this change across all personal accounts, Bank of America is taking one more step to ensuring they have the best policies in place to prevent illegal activity. Luckily, there are multiple ways to get around this new policy if you need to send or receive money. 1. Joint Accountholder Two or more people can “own” an account. This means that they have full access to all the account details, including the ability to deposit or withdrawal money in the account. The only difference between a joint account and individual account is the number of people who own the account. If you already have an account with Bank of America, you can add a person to the account, making it a joint account. If you don’t have an account already opened, opening a joint account is the same process as an individual account. Both individuals will need to provide information and identification in order to open the joint account. A joint account is a good option for someone who regularly receives cash deposits from a specific person, a trusted source. For example, if a college student is studying abroad, opening a joint bank account with a parent might be an ideal option in case they need money deposited into their account from time to time. 2. Personal Check You might be surprised to learn that many people still write checks. And, it’s not just the retiree holding up the under-10-items-or-less line at the grocery store. Writing checks is one of the cheapest ways to exchange money. Aside from the cost of checks, writing, depositing or cashing a check is free. Some checking accounts even give you your first set of checks for free. The downside of writing a check is that the money won’t always be immediately available. It can take usually anywhere from 2 to 5 days for the…

Deposit cash at the bankYou can put cash into someone else’s account by going to a bank where the person holds an account and giving the teller the person’s name and account number.Some banks, however, don’t let you deposit cash into someone else’s checking account. They include the three biggest banks — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo.As the banks see it, the decision to ban cash helps prevent money laundering and fraud — cash is hard to trace, after all. It’s also expensive to process.Though you might feel inconvenienced, there are alternatives — some of which are quicker than depositing cash into someone else’s account at a branch.2. Make an electronic transferYou can easily transfer money into a friend or relative’s account through a service such as Venmo, PayPal or Cash App. You can also move money to others through Zelle — and since most banks already include Zelle in their offerings, you won’t likely need to sign up for this service separately.Take precautions when using any of these digital options. When you send money to someone else through these kinds of services, the payments are often irrevocable. Only send money to people you know and trust to avoid falling victim to a scam.If your bank doesn’t offer Zelle, you can still send an electronic bank transfer through your online banking account by entering the recipient’s bank account number and routing number. Though Zelle moves money in minutes, this kind of bank-to-bank transfer can take a few days.3. Make a wire transferA wire transfer is another option for transmitting money to someone else’s bank account. Wire transfers can be done at banks, credit unions, or providers such as Western Union or Wise.To conduct a wire transfer, you’ll usually need the account number, routing number and name of the recipient.Wire transfers may be your best bet for sending large amounts of money, as those done through a bank often don’t have limits, as long as you have enough funds in your account. What’s more, domestic wire transfers are often conveniently processed the same day, sometimes within a matter of hours.Wire transfers can be pricey, however, compared to fee-free services like Zelle. Fees for domestic outgoing wire transfers can cost as much as $35, while international ones tend to range from $35 to $50.4. Write a checkThough paper checks are falling out of favor, you can still deposit a personal check into someone else’s bank account. Checks pose less of a threat to banks than cash deposits because financial institutions can trace the money with a check.“The key question is always: ‘Where did you get that money?” says Marc Trepanier, principal fraud consultant at ACI Worldwide, a software provider. “With a check, we know where it came from. It came from another account.”Just like cash, a check can be deposited into another person’s account at a branch when you present it…
How to Transfer Money to a Bank of America Account
How to Transfer Money to a Bank of America Account There are few different ways you can transfer money to a Bank of America account. To transfer money instantly from another Bank of America account, you can use the ATM or move funds online. For transfers from another bank, you’ll need to transfer funds through the other bank’s online banking system or complete a wire transfer. You can also use a credit card to transfer money into your account. The fees vary from free to about $40, depending on the transfer method.

Enter your personal identification number. Select the option “Transfer Funds.” Choose the account you want to withdraw from and the account that will receive the funds. Enter the amount to transfer. Confirm the amount and accept any fees. If you’re using a Bank of America ATM, there aren’t any fees. However, if you’re using another bank’s ATM, you’ll be charged that bank’s convenience fee along with Bank of America’s out-of-network fee of $2.50, at the time of publication. Some accounts also have a limit on the number of ATM and online transfers and withdrawals you can perform each month, and any transfers above that number will trigger a fee.

Bank of America ATM Deposit and Withdrawal Limits
Bank of America ATM Deposit and Withdrawal Limits Bank of America ATM Withdrawal and Deposit Limits and How To Get More Cash Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com Thinking of opening a new savings or checking account? One of the things to consider when you’re trying to decide which bank to use is the limit they put on the amount you can withdraw or deposit at an ATM. If you typically deposit or withdraw significant amounts of cash, you want to make sure you can do so in a way that suits your needs. Understanding how much cash you can withdraw from your Bank of America checking or savings account at an ATM, and what to do if you need more, will help you better manage your money. Here’s what you need to know about the Bank of America ATM withdrawal limit and deposit limit. What Is the Maximum Amount of Money I Can Withdraw at a Bank of America ATM? The Bank of America daily ATM limit for a checking or savings account is $1,000 per account. This can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of account or card you have and the amount the ATM is able to dispense. The amount also depends on how much you have in your account, of course, and whether or not you have overdraft protection. What Is the Maximum Deposit Limit for Bank of America ATMs? There is no Bank of America deposit limit for deposits made in an ATM, although there might be a limit to the number of bills or checks you can deposit in a single transaction, based on the capacity of the ATM. How Quickly Will Deposited Funds Be Available? The amount of time it takes for funds to be available for you to withdraw depends on the type of deposit. When you deposit cash in a Bank of America ATM, the funds are available immediately. When you deposit a check, all or part of the check might be available the next business day. However, Bank of America might place a hold on the deposit that usually ranges from two to seven days. If a check deposit is made after the daily cutoff time — 9 p.m. Eastern and Central time and 8 p.m. Mountain and Pacific time — or on a weekend, the next business day counts as the first day. When you make a check deposit at a Bank of America ATM, your receipt and the ATM screen will indicate if there is a hold on the deposit. Check Holds Holds on check deposits allow the bank time to validate the check and collect funds from the check issuer.

How to Deposit Money Into Someone Else's Bank Account
6 ways to deposit cash into someone else’s account You can transfer money electronically through websites and apps such as Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. You may send a money order for amounts smaller than $1,000, or a cashier’s check for larger amounts. A wire transfer is a tool for sending money to someone who lives far away. Loading Something is loading. There are plenty of times you’ll need to give money to someone, but for one reason or another, you can’t just hand them cash. In this case, you can deposit money into their bank account.There are several ways to deposit money into someone else’s bank account. The best choice will depend on which institutions you each bank with, how much money you’re sending, and how much you’re willing to pay in fees.1. Deposit cash at the bankThe most basic way to move money into someone else’s account is to walk into the bank and tell the teller you’d like to deposit cash. You’ll need the recipient’s full name and bank account number to complete the deposit.Some banks are banning cash deposits into someone else’s account, though. Handling cash can lead to fraud, so banks are steering clear. Before venturing into a bank branch to put cash in a friend’s account, double check that the bank will allow you to do so.2. Transfer money electronicallyThere are multiple websites and apps that allow you to transfer money to a friend. Here are some of the most popular ones:PayPalSquare CashTransferWiseVenmoZelleOne disadvantage to this method is that both people need to have an account with certain services, including PayPal and Venmo.3. Write a checkYou may choose to write a paper check and give it to the person. Or you can walk into a bank and ask the teller to deposit the check into the person’s account, as long as you have their full name and account number.Although fewer and fewer banks accept cash deposits into another person’s account, many still accept check deposits.4. Send a money orderAlthough you will have to pay a couple of dollars for a money order, it’s a worthwhile alternative if you don’t already have a paper checkbook.When you buy a money order, you’ll pay the small fee plus the amount you want to deposit. For example, you might pay the $200 you want to put into your friend’s account, then a $2 fee for the money order itself. You’ll get a receipt, so if the deposit never goes through for some reason, you have proof of the money order.The downside is that there’s usually a limit on how much you can send with a money order. You probably won’t be able to send more than $1,000.5. Send a cashier’s checkA cashier’s check is similar to a money order, but there’s no limit on how much you can send. Unfortunately, cashier’s checks cost a little more than money orders, usually around $10.Whereas you can get a money order at a bank, the post office, or a convenience store, cashier’s checks are only available at banks.6. Make a wire transferA wire transfer is a tool for moving money electronically from one banking institution to another. It can be especially useful if you don’t have access to the recipient’s bank. For instance, maybe you bank with a national bank but your friend banks with a local institution across the country.You can send wire transfers within the US or internationally, and international transfer fees are more expensive. You can expect to spend $10 to $50 on a wire transfer.Wire transfers are often for large sums of money, like a down payment on a house. Before attempting to send a…
