Transfers with investment accounts you own at other financial institutions are available based on a defined list of investment firms within Online Banking. Transfers with investment accounts you own at Bank of America are only permitted with internal deposit accounts.

You can schedule future-dated transfers between your Bank of America accounts up to a year in advance. Recurring transfers can be made at regular intervals, such as once a week, once a month, every 3 months and more. There are some limitations to the types of accounts available for recurring or future-dated transfers. See the Online Banking Service Agreement or help within Online Banking for specifics.

Registered recipients who have Bank of America accounts and are receiving money from a Bank of America customer will have funds delivered immediately. Customers receiving money into accounts at other banks or receiving money from other banks will have funds delivered to their banks within 3 business days after registering an email address or mobile number.

You can make immediate transfers from your personal and business credit card to your linked checking or savings account. Transfers from your credit card will be treated as cash advances. Please see your card service agreement for more details.

If you would like to pay your Bank of America personal credit card bill, you can use the Transfer Funds function to make either immediate, future-dated or recurring transfers. All you need to do is select your credit card account as the "To" account and follow the instructions.

Business Card accounts can also be paid using bill pay functionality.

You can make immediate, future-dated, or recurring payments from your account online using Transfer Funds. You also have several different payment options with this service—regular payment, principal only, and escrow only (mortgage only).

You can transfer funds among all of your business accounts except your business Certificate of Deposit (CD). Transfers from Business Credit Express line of credit accounts can be made only to your linked checking or savings accounts.

If you are a sole proprietor and have your personal and business accounts linked to your User ID, you can transfer funds between your eligible personal accounts and your business accounts. If you are not a sole proprietor, you cannot transfer funds from your personal accounts to your business accounts.

For transfers over specific dollar limits set by your account type, you will need to register for either Secured Transfer or a USB Security Key. You'll be prompted to register an additional security feature at the time of transfer. Follow the prompts for more details or review Additional Security Feature FAQs for more information.
