Notes:
- Estate services: the bank lists four ways to send documents: upload through Online Banking (existing customers) or the Third-Party Case Manager, fax, bring them to a financial center, or mail them to Bank of America, Estate Servicing Operations, PO Box 31655, Tampa, FL 33631-1655. It encourages the online upload for documents with personal information. The phone line is 888-689-4466, weekdays 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
- Successor in interest: the guide asks for the full account number on every document, says the bank cannot return originals, and accepts a photocopy or legible fax of a certified death certificate. Questions go to 800.669.6607.
- Mortgage assistance: the application can also be mailed to HRM Home Retention in Denver or submitted online at bankofamerica.com/homeloanhelp. The application uses the September 2017 version of the standard Form 710, so if a letter from your loan servicing team gives a different number, use that one.
The number on your letter wins
Bank of America routes documents by team and by case. If the bank has written to you about an estate case, a mortgage review, or a claim, the instructions in that letter go to the people holding your file. Use them over any general number.
And verify any number that reaches you by phone, text, or email. Fraudsters pretend to be bank staff and ask for IDs, statements, and death certificates by fax. Check the number on bankofamerica.com or call the number on your statement before you send anything.
Disputes and fraud
We did not find a fax number for card or account disputes on bankofamerica.com. Dispute packets carry card numbers and transaction details, so do not send them to numbers from fax directories.
Instead, start the dispute in Online Banking or the mobile app, follow any letter the bank sends about the claim, or call the number on the back of your card and ask where supporting documents should go. For general guidance on disputes and cover sheets, see our guide to faxing a bank.
How to fax Bank of America, step by step
- Choose the right line from the table, or the one on your letter.
- Put your account or loan number on every page. The successor in interest team asks for the full account number.
- Use copies. The bank cannot return originals, so fax legible photocopies.
- Scan in black and white, straight and at normal contrast. Death certificates and court documents often have seals and small print.
- Send the complete package in one fax, with the form or a cover sheet first.
- Keep the confirmation and a copy of what you sent.
You can send a fax online for $2.99, with no subscription and no account. That is useful for estate paperwork, where you may need to fax a few documents once and never again.
Mistakes that delay your request
- Sending estate documents to the mortgage team, or the reverse. Estate Servicing Operations and the Name and Title Change Unit are different teams.
- Missing account numbers. A death certificate with no account reference is hard to attach to the right relationship.
- Unreadable copies. A faxed photo of a certificate taken at an angle may be rejected.
- Incomplete mortgage assistance packages. The bank acknowledges receipt within five business days and tells you if anything is missing, but a complete package avoids a second round.
- Unverified numbers. Use bankofamerica.com, your letter, or your statement.
Faxing Bank of America comes down to the right team's number, your account number on every page, and a confirmation you keep.
