Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High Jul 12, 2026

The updated Deposit Agreement now explicitly discloses that disputes are subject to mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions, as stated prominently at the document's opening. The agreement establishes separate dispute resolution procedures for personal and business accounts and introduces new operational provisions governing account closure, jurisdiction and venue, cutoff times for legal orders, and responses to conflicting demands. The terms require that by using or maintaining your account after a change is effective, you agree to be bound by the updated provisions. You can review the complete updated agreement on bankofamerica.com or contact Bank of America directly if you wish to understand how the specific dispute resolution procedures apply to your account.
