Although not done frequently, you should be aware of how to change the PIN (personal identification number) on your Bank of America Visa card if you have one. Knowing how to change your PIN in a variety of ways is part of managing your credit and keeping your card safe from fraudulent activity. You can manage your Bank of America PIN with or without your card.

Whether you lost your current PIN or you simply forgot which number you selected when you set the card up, you can call Bank of America's Financial Center at 1-800-432-1000 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. every Monday through Friday or between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
